From a psychological perspective, Akkerman and Meijer (2011) use theory of dialogical self to conceptualise teachers’ (professional) identity. They state that teachers’ identity is both unitary and multiple, both continuous and discontinuous and both individual and social.

    In our culture, children are trained to think of themselves as separate individuals from the time they are born” (123). The author tries to insinuate that the instructors should not expect the majority students to grasp the concept of individualism immediately they join the institution. Her theory tries to prove the need for the instructors to understand different student abilities and needs. For example, Americans delineate children as soon as they are born. In contrast, other cultures embrace the children and the issue of individualism is not as pronounced as in America.

    The Effect of Racial Diversity in College Friend Groups on Academic Achievement Much attention is paid to the effects of individuals’ race on their academic achievement. Focus on the effects of race tends to be centered on a purely individual level – from whether perceptions of one’s own race affects experience to whether stereotypes of one’s own race leads to negative individual life events. The diversity of these social networks is undoubtedly significant in personal academic achievement, but what about personal ties that are made of free choice outside of family and classmates?
