Description

Understanding Prejudice and Education: A Framework for Reducing Preconceptions in Schools. This book offers a clear analysis of research and theory on prejudice and prejudice reduction, drawing from findings in social psychology, critical thinking, and education. It presents the underlying principle that prejudice can be reduced through the development of four core attributes: empathy, understanding, cognitive flexibility, and metacognitive thought. Effective educational strategies are presented for preparing young people for life, along with a range of examples of classroom practice. An integrative framework is included that can be adapted and adopted in schools, synthesising findings and emphasising the need for individuals and groups to work against preconceived beliefs and emotional reactions to situations. Suitable for educators, researchers, and school leaders interested in developing strategies to reduce prejudice in their institutions, this book provides a thorough engagement with the complex issues surrounding prejudice.
