The Meaning, Value, and Realisation of Internet-based Culturally Responsive Teaching

Abstract

Culturally responsive teaching is an effective pedagogical orientation and action plan for responding to cultural differences and is characterized by effectiveness, comprehensiveness, empowerment, transformation, and emancipation. To better realize the connotation and value of culturally responsive teaching, this paper applies Internet technology to culturally responsive teaching. Based on the Internet blockchain technology, this paper optimizes the culturally responsive teaching model and evaluates the Internet-based teaching method in three aspects: appropriateness of material selection, cultural diversity, and classroom autonomy. In terms of the appropriateness of teacher selection, students generally rated the teaching method more highly, with an average increase of 11.6 percentage points over the initial rating. Students also rated the Internet-based approach more favorably regarding the cultural diversity of teaching and learning, with an average increase of 15 percentage points.
