Teaching About Race Relations (RLE Edu J)

This is the report of two linked research projects: the SSRC Project on Problems and Effects of Teaching about Race Relations, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Project on Teaching About Race Relations through Drama. Its aim is to help teachers who will face race as a theme, whether it arises in the normal course of their subject teaching or is introduced as a separate topic.  The project worked with three groups of teachers, each of which adopted a different approach, and the results of the testing programme are given alongside a series of case studies of classroom teaching. The book includes a summary of the findings of the research, express as hypotheses and an account of the teacher-dissemination of the project’s work; it concludes with reflections by the director of the project and a participant teacher.

This four-volume series sets out to describe and discuss cultural diversity and the whole curriculum from a variety of perspectives and to consider how the concerns of ethnic groups can be addressed within the framework of the National Curriculum. This, the second volume, brings together writings of specialists in the key components of both the whole and basic curriculum. It considers the implications of cross-curricular concepts which are comprised, according to the National Curriculum Council (NCC), of dimensions, skills and themes. Divided into three parts, Part I considers the overall area of cultural diversity and a range of cross-curricular aspects of the curriculum; Part II looks at five major cross-curricular themes specified by the NCC; individual awareness, careers education and guidance, health education, education for citizenship, and environmental education; Part III covers seven cross-curricular dimensions which merit special attention: racism in British education, personal and social education, a black perspective, gender issues, children with special educational needs, European Community understanding, cultural differences and staff development and accountability, and local management of schools. This book is intended for: heads of education, curriculum studies and multicultural studies departments, BEd and MEd students, PGCE students, LEA administrators and policy makers, ethnographers and special needs advisers.

The Ethnic Crucible: Harmony & Hostility in MultiSHEthnic Schools

Children in schools in developed countries come from culturally diverse backgrounds. They may relate harmoniously or in a hostile way to each other and reflect inequalities in society as a whole. Through the study of nine, culturally diverse secondary schools, their staff and organization, structures and interactive processes, the authors show how the quality of relationships within schools can be influenced, taking into account policy and procedural practices. The authors point the way to a more systematic and proactive approach to fostering good inter-school relationships. This book should be useful for those involved in teaching, and for parents and others interested in, and responsible for, education in plural societies in the UK and elsewhere.

Researching Education

This book provides the reader with an introduction to the world of educational research. A two-pronged approach is adopted: to help the reader understand the concepts and terminology widely used in educational research and a range of methodological issues; and to provide the reader with guidance on initiating and implementing research studies. In this highly accessible book, the authors consider the perspectives, concepts and techniques in common usage in the field of research, and the variety of approaches that may be taken in researching different subjects. A glossary is also provided covering the relevant terms and concepts referred to and used in current educational research.

Chinese Adolescents in Britain and Hong Kong: Identity and Aspirations (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1999, this book is based on several years work in Hong Kong and Britain, both before and after the absorption of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong into the People’s Republic of China in 1997. The initial chapters review the history of Chinese people in Britain; specific aspects of Chinese culture and personality; Chinese educational systems; and the recent history of migration from Hong Kong to Britain. The central part of the book compares three samples of adolescents (about 350 in each of the three cultures): Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong; Chinese adolescents in Britain, with sub-divisions of those who have grown up in Britain and those recently arrived; and Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. All of the 1,050 respondents completed measures of self-concept, identity, educational aspirations and views about the family, society and the future. The final part of the book contains extended qualitative accounts from personal interview with a sub-sample of Chinese adolescents in Britain and concludes with proposals for educational and policy changes which can accommodate the aspirations of Chinese adolescents in the British educational system.
