PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY IN THE CLASSROOM
A spark is the beginning of every realization and moment of brilliance, with the classroom serving as the catalyst. However, cultural differences and blind spots often create invisible barriers that inhibit this spark, leading to a lack of psychological safety in the classroom. Psychological safety, the freedom to express oneself without fear of negative consequences, is not automatic but co-created through mutual respect and understanding. Cultural differences can make students feel isolated and anxious, preventing full engagement. As professors, recognizing and addressing these barriers is crucial. By being aware of cultural differences and blind spots, professors can cultivate a psychologically safe environment.
