The second purpose of this article has been to map a matrix of perceived international student behaviour, possible variances in religious based values and classroom leadership initiatives. Nevertheless, the authors are aware that a limitation of this paper could be seen to be the case study nature of the data collection for the matrix
summary which limits generalize of the findings. The authors hope that such case studies and matrix summaries can help colleague practitioners to explore the relationships between classroom communication behaviours and religious based cultural values further. Thirdly, the purpose of this article has been to offer practical guidelines which can be applied in our diverse learning environments. These guidelines were gathered from data from the above cases, combined with summaries of extant literature in the field. It is hoped that the classroom experiences, the practical guidelines and self-directed questioning techniques offered in this article will enhance our understanding of how we can and should further develop mindfulness in our religiously and culturally diverse 'classroom communities'. A further limitation of this study can be said to be the presentation of rich anecdotal reflections and conceptual models rather than the presentation of models based on traditional statistical analyses. It is hoped that future researchers can develop this conceptual model further by collecting more comprehensive empirical data both quantitatively and qualitatively for a more robust model to be developed. Kernochan et al. (2007) claim that they have personally benefited from efforts to become more compassionate, mindful, and selfless in the classroom. Yet they warn us that these values are not cure-alls. They will not stop
students from plagiarizing, or guarantee that you create inspiring classes since balance, overall, is important (Kernochan et al., 2007, p. 71). Nevertheless, individuals operating from a religious paradigm are believed to 1) be more likely to trust others, 2) share information more freely, and 3) work in concert in teams and with co-workers to accomplish mutual objectives (Biberman et al., 1999; Kriger & Hansen, 1999). These are important working qualities for both students and business people. Hence, understanding how different religious and cultural based norms impact student-teacher communication can help us to create healthier and more human learning environments and work places which are also more economically viable and sustainable.
As educators today, we all face the responsibility of recognising the need for everyone to respect existing norms and policies in our schools and organisations while also endeavouring to develop healthy places to work. Higher education classrooms need to become cross-religious and cross-cultural experiences, so that students can learn to engage in constructive dialogues and ultimately come to accept and manage diversity. This is the art of dealing with religious and cultural diversity in the classroom.
