Active Learning in the Introductory Cultural Anthropology Course.

Nanda, Serena

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v16 n4 p271-75 Win 1985

Presents three exercises that encourage active participation in cultural anthropology classes: (1) use of a puzzle to demonstrate focal issues about culture; (2) discussion of a specific piece of fieldwork to demonstrate the relationship among fieldwork, ethics, and cultural relativity; and (3) use of study questions in ethnographic films to allow students actively to discuss issues.
