Forty teachers attending a summer institute in East Germany in August of 1987 were given a questionnaire concerning their attitudes towards the German Democratic Republic and their opinions, perceptions, and misperceptions of Canadian students. The questionnaire was applied in Zwickau, East Germany at a small pedagogical college. Teachers were asked to respond twice: the first time as they would imagine a typical 17-to-18-year-old Canadian student would respond, and, second, according to their own opinions. In a written response section they were asked to give their opinions on two items: (1) personal and/or state violence, and (2) facts and/or opinions held on Canada and Canadian students. Findings showed that the teachers have a positive evaluation of themselves with regard to their attitudes toward war and peace, and they strongly agree that the Soviet Union has more positive proposals for peace than does the West. The teachers also hold positive ideas about Canada and the study showed that peace research can be useful in breaking down stereotypes. However, they also believe Canadian students are more imbued with Cold War ideology, support government policy, and oppose the demands and ideas of the Canadian peace movement. Sixty percent also believe Canadian students seldom or never talk about peace. Selected questionnaires and results from the questionnaire are appended. (NL)
