Abstract: | The paper reports results of one aspect (assessment of racial prejudice) of a large-scale British curriculum research project concerned with the problems and effects of exposure to three different race-oriented teaching strategies. Over 1,500 14–16 year olds from 39 British schools of varying multiracial composition participated in this research which was also concerned with gaining some insight into the relevance of teaching about race relations in schools. The conclusions point to the possible benefit of such teaching but also draw attention to the constraints operating against curriculum innovation in this area and to the need to consider other contributory factors before definitive answers can be given. |
