Using Immersion Experiences to Shake Up Preservice Teachers' Views about Cultural Differences.
Wiest, Lynda R.
Journal of Teacher Education, v49 n5 p358-65 Nov-Dec 1998
A cultural-immersion project helped preservice teachers at the University of Nevada gain knowledge about other cultures and insight into how it feels to be part of a minority culture. Data from students' writeups of the projects indicate that students gained much from the experience (e.g., new information about specific cultures, challenged beliefs, and enhanced personal and professional skills).
