- W99461181 abstract "In the next century, a large portion of the United States population will be primarily of Latino and Asian background. This is already the case in many Southern Californian communities. In this environment, responsible educators continue to search for teaching strategies and resources that promote acceptance of cultural diversity and reflect the learning styles of this student population. * New Strategies At Azusa Pacific University, all education students must enroll in a course on cultural awareness--Diversity in the Classroom. In this course, students identify cultural barriers in terms of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, language, religion and gender differences. They also examine societal issues that impact the classroom, such as racism, prejudice and discrimination. Through reflective thinking and problem solving, students begin to develop strategies for effective multicultural instruction in a pluralistic democracy. In a similar course--Administration of Education in a Multicultural Environment--school administrators study ways of designing, implementing and evaluating effective multicultural programs in their school districts. In courses like these, students often find it difficult to express their feelings and attitudes about those who are culturally different. One of the most effective ways of encouraging student involvement and participation is through experiential activities, such as role playing and simulation. Case studies are often used and become much more effective through interactive media's visual dramatization. * Media's Role While searching for a methodology that encourages active learning, I discovered a convincing argument in favor of interactive media.[1] Interactive video can provide a medium for observation and, more importantly, it can provide an environment for reflection. Reflection, however, is an inherently social process. It implies a debate of different viewpoints, a challenge to currently held beliefs, and an emotional commitment to resulting conclusions. While all of this can be accomplished by an individual alone, it is more innovative and motivating when alternative viewpoints are provided by others, when others challenge one's current beliefs, and when the commitment to resulting conclusions is expressed in the presence of other people. . This statement prompted my decision to create a multimedia project (videodisc and CD-ROM versions) that could be utilized by individuals in independent study, but also in a group setting where students could react openly to dramatized issues and then express personal views. This collaborative project, involved many people: myself, as the faculty expert; a media producer/director and television crew; computer programmers; an instructional designer; graphics artists and student actors. The videodisc we developed is called Intercultural Communication; the CD-ROM's title is Exploring Cultural Diversity. Both were done at, and copyrighted by, Ball State University. * A Courseware Project Is Born The menu-driven computer program for the titles includes intercultural barriers, cultural variables, universals of culture, a chart of comparative cultural assumptions, a glossary of intercultural/multicultural terminology and other concepts. A prototype lesson plan and reflective questions were designed to engage participants in analysis and discussion after viewing filmclips and scenarios. Filmclips provide several examples of intercultural interaction, as well as stereotypical portrayals of African-american, Asian, European and Hispanic/latino cultures. These cultural groups were chosen because they are representative of cultural pluralism in the United States. In one filmclip, for example, students are asked to identify stereotypes and to explain the historical antecedents of involuntary immigration of African-americans. …" @default.
