Prejudice Reduction in Public Schools: A Dialogic Approach
Gonzalez, Maru; Kokozos, Michael J.
Journal of Educational Research and Practice, v9 n1 p340-348 2019
Increasingly, students are facing hostility and violence as a result of one or more of their social group memberships. Such prejudicial attitudes and actions contribute to antagonistic intergroup relationships in public schools (i.e., K-12). This article examines dialogic approaches to prejudice reduction, with a specific emphasis on intergroup dialogue in public K-12 schools. Evidence-based steps and strategies that educators can use to develop intergroup dialogue competencies and cultivate a more dialogic environment in their schools and classrooms are also introduced.
