ESPADA, António Salvador Domingos. Perceptions about curriculum and culture diversity in the classroom with adult learners. e-Curriculum [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.178-197.  Epub May 06, 2022. ISSN 1809-3876.  https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2022v20i1p178-197.

The aim of this article is to emphasize some perceptions of the curriculum concepts and its contextualization relevance in the process of teaching and learning, considering a culture diversity based on age which comes up in the classroom, mainly during night class, where there is a mixture of learners considered children, youths and adults. I used descriptive methodology, based on readings and interpretations of key ideas defended by some authors and also based in the research that I have done during 2015 - 2017, in Maputo city. The problem is when adults learners are mixed with children and youths in the same classroom, they become restrained and that influences negatively in their teaching and learning process. Among the other results, stands out the urgency for design and implementation of the specific curriculum up to 12th grade for adults learners whom start from literacy.

Keywords : curriculum; culture diversity; adults learners; classroom.
