Abstract Age-friendly University (AFU) campuses are reshaping how we think about teaching and learning in higher education. In particular, intergenerational classrooms are on the rise as shifting age demographics call for institutions to create new opportunities for older learners and encourage intergenerational exchange. Age diverse classrooms have distinctive needs and dynamics that instructors, and students, will need to learn how to navigate. This presentation will describe outcomes of one AFU institution’s attempt to identify the challenges and triumphs of intergenerational classrooms through facilitated instructor and student reflections in different classrooms over the course of several semesters. Recommendations will be offered for enhancing intergenerational exchange in classrooms across disciplines, as well as evaluating attitudes, logistics, and learning outcomes.

The study investigated the mediating role of lecturers’ biographic factors and multicultural competences in the use of Culturally Responsive Pedagogies (CRPs) to effectively teach culturally diverse classrooms in universities. Studies show that culture has an influence on student learning and that if it is not effectively managed, it can affect how students learn. The study employed a quantitative approach that used structured questionnaires for data collection from a sample of 370 lecturers selected from six universities using a stratified random sampling strategy. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used for data purification. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA, multiple regression analysis, and correlation analysis. Results showed that verbal and non-verbal communication, cultural knowledge, classroom management, and student-teacher interaction significantly influenced the application of CRPs by university lecturers. It also emerged from the study that the application of CRPs has a significant effect on diversity management in universities. Results further showed that the use of CRPs by university lecturers is still work in progress due to a myriad of challenges they face chief among which is a lack of cultural competence skills. These results have implications to diversity management in university classrooms in particular as well as in universities in general.
