The What?
Today, on March 2nd, I learned about how mainstream Australian cultures make assumptions based on two pictures. One of the images was of a western classroom and the assumption that was common was there was no technology and a teacher talking to a whole class with a group-oriented way of learning another picture of an oriental class with the common assumption that everyone is on their laptops with more of a focus towards self-learning. I also learned about what words the people in my peer group think about in relation to the word culture ; the words that come to everyones mind were colorful, symbols, outside, and celebration(Quin, 2020). The last learning activity that I and everyone else had to complete was drawing a culture tree of our own personal culture. This included what your roots, your core values, and branch values are (Quin, 2020).
So What?
I am cultural of the mainstream, Anglo-Saxon, Australian culture, even though in my heritage I am also a south-sea islander and the first nation of Bundjalung. Because of my cultural background, I shared the same synonyms for the word culture because I was raised in the same culture as my peer group. I also shared the assumptions of the stimulus materials that were common because of my cultural background. My personal culture tree possesses a diverse cultural background as the roots, that formed the core and branch values, the values seemed to point towards unity between first nations people and Anglo-Saxon people in Australia since I have a heritage in both. Lastly, when it comes to the context of indigenous education that has been learned, it helps me understand my mainstream cultures reaction to the material presented versus someone else from a different background whether they are a first nation or foreign.
What Now?
This reflection has given me an understanding of how the Anglo-Saxon Australian culture makes assumptions about the notion of culture and how education ought to be taught in western civilization and abroad. In regards to my personal culture tree, I have gained an understanding that my values are beyond the mainstream Anglo-Saxon culture or any cultural groups which are good in the classroom as I, subconsciously, have no favoring of students because of their race or cultural background, as this corresponds with the APST of 7.1(‘Teacher Standards’, 2020).
