Through the Lens of a Neighbor: Perceptions of Mexican Educators and Students regarding Current United States Policies
Cashman, Timothy G.; Rubio, Rene A.
Research in Comparative and International Education, v3 n2 p158-166 2008
Researchers analyzed the perceptions and pedagogies of educators in two Chihuahua, Mexico, public schools with regard to United States foreign policies. The key objective of the research was to provide additional insight into the impact of recent actions taken by the United States Government, including the war in Iraq. Chihuahuan educators and their students suggested that the United States Government should be more engaged in the dialogue of how to address the root causes of terrorism. Additionally, the findings of this study indicated that educators and future teachers in both the United States and Mexico benefit from broader understandings of educators' roles and students' perceptions in a bi-national community.
