8 Dimensions of culture (Hofstede, 1980; 2005) Uncertainty avoidance Power distance Masculinity / Femininity Individualism / Collectivism Does a society feel threatened by unclear and open situations? As a response, are there a number of precise rules / regulations or not? Acceptance of the fact that power is irregularly divided among individuals or hierarchies in an organisation (e.g., employers - employees) Competition and achievement (Rigid gender stereotypes) OR Cooperation and social responsibility (Flexible gender roles) Society: An open social frame with personal autonomy OR a narrowly defined social web with allocation of positions / roles for all Self-definition: interests, hobbies, etc. OR status / role within a group
9 Behaviour at school: cultural examples Uncertainty avoidance High: - Learning environments are structured, responsibility and duties are clear - Students expect clear task assignment, definition of precise goals, and non-ambiguous instructions on tasks and learning processes - Tendency to detailed planning / scheduling ahead of deadlines, weighing up pros and cons, detailed conclusions from little data Low: - Cooperative learning teams, flexible task assignment - Variable use of methods, open discussions about possible solutions - Process-oriented approach: Goals, roles and methods may be adapted
10 Behaviour at school: cultural examples Uncertainty avoidance Power distance High: - Teachers are authorities, students accept unilateral dependency - Open criticism is disregarded, especially to knowledge authorities - Students show a tendency to follow rules without much questioning, engage in avoidance / passive coping during confrontation Low: - Teachers and students interact in an equal manner - Teachers value self-responsible work approaches by students - Students are encouraged to support learning outcomes by taking over tasks, disclose own needs, and make contributions for improvement
11 Behaviour at school: cultural examples Uncertainty avoidance Power distance Masculinity / Femininity High (equals high masculinity): - Competition and achievement orientation are central to school environments; awards and marks are related solely to performance - Teachers = experts; pedagogical qualification is less important - Traditional roles: Men = professors, women = primary school teacher Low (equals high femininity) - Team-oriented organisation with self-assertive & cooperative stundets - Life-long learning / training to keep up high functional working level, individual stuff qualification programs to balance out weaknesses - Teacher qualities: social competence, empathy and integrative skills
12 Behaviour at school: cultural examples Uncertainty avoidance Power distance Masculinity / Femininity Individualism / Collectivism High (equals high individualism) - Promotion of self-directed learning, focus is on problem-solving competence to find the most fitting solution for a challenge - Students are encouraged to choose a job mainly for interests, pursue self-development and realization of individual goals Low (equals high collectivism) - Students are encouraged to follow traditional problem solutions - Education = tool for societal advancement which defines one s status and increases prestige and proud of family - Within schools: Blend-in is required of students, no standing out
