Widening Cultural Horizons: Recommended Approaches to Intercultural Education. Curriculum Bulletin No. 339. Vol. XXXII.
Dixon, R. Joseph; Van Til, William
American schools need to encourage better human relations among Americans of varied racial, religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, according to the authors. They list useful strategies to encourage true integration, a list that they compiled from a review of integration approaches used historically. They surveyed the literature on education and improving intergroup relations and questioned school administrators and experts to ascertain their opinions of the effectiveness of each approach. The final list of strategies includes the direct experience approach, the community study approach, the democratic atmosphere approach, curriculum permeation, and group dynamics. (Author/DS)
