Assessing the Learning of White Students on Themes of White Privilege & Racism
Heinze, Peter; DeCandia, Gabriela
Multicultural Education, v19 n1 p20-23 Fall 2011
In an earlier article appearing in "Multicultural Education" (Volume 16, Number 1, Fall 2008) a number of pedagogical techniques were presented for teaching White students about White privilege and racism (Heinze, 2008). That article emphasized that racism exists along a continuum and that the instructor needs to examine and disclose his or her own racism. Group exercises and an analysis of the film "The Color of Fear" were described as approaches that have proved successful. Additionally, a number of student dynamics, such as resistance to the material, were considered from a psychoanalytic perspective. With respect to the assessment of student learning in a Multicultural Psychology course, anecdotes and quotes from students were offered in the 2008 article as evidence, noting that there was an absence of empirical data (e.g., measurable learning outcomes). Since that time, there has been an opportunity to collect quantitative data, and this article presents findings related to student learning on a number of themes covered throughout the semester. (Contains 1 table and 3 figures.)
