Eliyahu-Levi, Dolly
Pedagogies: An International Journal, v18 n4 p691-709 2023
When dialogue between colleagues from diverse cultures is painted in ethnocultural colors, it is possible to express aspects related to religious, ideological, and ethnic characteristics and acquire intercultural abilities. This qualitative-interpretive study examined (1) ethnocultural aspects revealed during a course that brought together students from different countries and enabled a dialogue between colleagues that reveals the other's perspective on socio-cultural issues, (2) how ethnocultural dialogue pedagogy helps cultivate competence Intercultural between diverse groups. Eighty-seven colleagues from Israel and the United States participated in the study, and two research tools were documentation and interviews. The study's findings revealed two categories: (1) cultural-national aspects; (2) Ethnic aspects. Research findings help understand the relationship between direct and personal ethnic dialogue and terms of culture, nationality, gender, and religion. They demonstrate that peer dialogue has a significant positive impact on fostering intercultural competence, developing social skills, and promoting positive emotional attitudes towards diverse groups. This study also indicates that participants broadened their socio-cultural perspective and formulated an inclusive value concept that expresses openness and holistic observation of various narratives while legitimizing differences in the customs and traditions of each group. The findings have practical implications in shaping pedagogical principles for fostering intercultural competence.
