Developing an Understanding of Haitian Culture through Select Social Studies Objectives in a Class for Learning Disabled Students.
Paggett, Camilla Felicia
Designed to introduce global perspectives in a sixth-grade class for learning disabled students, this program was designed to help students develop an understanding of Haitian culture and a sense of empathy for persons of Haitian background. The program contained seven strategies: film watching, game playing, food sampling, class discussions, story reading, Gestalt strategies, and societal media involvement. At the conclusion of the 10-week program, all of the students showed a significant gain in understanding Haitian culture and a sense of caring for students of Haitian background. Understanding and empathy are crucial in schools where many Haitian children attend, but the methods and strategies can have broad applicability. Pretests and postests, an attitudinal questionnaire, and a weekly questionnaire were used to monitor student progress; these are contained in the appendices. (DB)
