ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF EDUCATION IN OVERCOMING ETHNIC PREJUDICES IN POLAND

 

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to give information on the results of the study on prejudice, particularly to gives an overview of the forms of ethnocentrism as conceptualized and operationalized during the research on ethnic attitudes. In Part I of the paper, various forms of attitudes toward ethnic minorities among Polish youth in relation to stereotypes are being studied through a nationwide survey of a representative sample of 1002 secondary school students. The central variables are ethnocentrism and anti-Semitism. In the discussion attention will be paid to differentiating results by sex, parents education, type of school and geographic location.

The content and structure of ethnocentric and anti-Semitic beliefs in the context of attitudes toward minorities are being studied as well.

In Part II the paper will present the results of a longitudinal study dealing with three experimental educational programs of secondary schools. Consideration will be given to the effects of educational programs on attitudes change. Three quasi-experimental high school classes were chosen for comparison of their attitudes with the attitudes of control groups - classes from the same school but not under the influence of special educational approaches. The classes in this study were all tenth grades, from the VIII Lyceum (= general high school) in Cracow, the LXIV Lyceum in Warsaw, and the I Lyceum in Łomża.

The evaluation was intended to determine whether the goals of particular projects have been achieved, related to the personal development of the pupils, development of their attitudes and skills. Since personal development is very difficult to measure, attitudes toward minorities and skills of communication were investigated at the beginning of the evaluation, for comparison a year and a half later. For evaluation of educational programs the following techniques were introduced: Focus Group Interview, direct interviewing of teachers, and projective techniques: complete-the-sentence test, drawings, and survey. Each student from the experimental and control classes drew a self-portrait, factors influencing him or her as a member of a particular ethnic group, a Jew, and a Gypsy (altogether 648 pictures). Analysis of the data related to evaluation of three experimental programs confirmed a preliminary hypothesis that education makes a difference. Students from classes with alternative programs scored better on tests, although not in all dimensions and not at every lyceum where the study was done.

School solidifies what divides rather than what connects us, and does little to create open attitudes or a positive image of human diversity. Although this idea is not new, as it is familiar from my own experience in school, presented study, undertaken twenty years later (and ten years after the fall of Communism), has confirmed that Polish education is changing much more slowly than political and economic structures are.

System of work

In Part I of the research, various forms of attitudes toward ethnic minorities among Polish youth in relation to stereotypes are being studied through a nationwide survey of a representative sample of 1002 secondary school students. The central variables are ethnocentrism and anti-Semitism. Among the independent variables are acceptance of others, parental acceptance, acceptability to others, self-esteem, region of Poland, knowledge about minorities, willingness to learn about minorities, contacts with minorities, religiousness, parent's education, and type of school. The authoritarian personality as a variable was not included since there are numerous studies which confirm the correlation found in the famous study by Adorno et al. The content and structure of ethnocentric and anti-Semitic beliefs in the context of attitudes toward minorities are being studied as well.

In Part II the research will present the results of a longitudinal study dealing with three experimental educational programs of secondary schools. Parts I and II are being conducted simultaneously.

It seems that a classical survey is not sufficient to understand issues related to ethnocentric attitudes, although it allows a preliminary description. A qualitative study was planned in order to complete the knowledge obtained in the quantitative study, to investigate the mechanism and process of ethnocentric attitudes. How are images of minorities created? What is the motivation to express certain attitudes?

Three quasi-experimental high school classes were chosen for comparison of their attitudes with the attitudes of control groups - classes from the same school but not under the influence of special educational approaches. The classes in this study were all tenth grades, from the VIII Lyceum (= general high school) in Cracow, the LXIV Lyceum in Warsaw, and the I Lyceum in Łomża.

Methods

The work gives an overview of the forms of ethnocentrism as conceptualized and operationalized during the research on ethnic attitudes. It will be tested whether forms of ethnocentrism can be distinguished empirically. Attitudes are multidimensional phenomena. They consist of three components: cognitive or belief-related, affective or emotive, and conative or behavior-oriented. Social researchers consider stereotypes as cognitive components of intergroup attitudes. In this research the operationalization of ethnic attitudes was restricted to the cognitive level with the exception of two items related to measuring behavioral intentions. Emotional or affective responses were not measured, nor were behavior in an interethnic context, except for the open-ended Q53 in which self-reported statements related to emotional reactions toward 14 representatives of national and ethnic representatives were requested.

In social studies it is impossible to rely on one method (technique) of research. The approach taken in this paper is innovative compared to previous work on ethnic attitudes in that it combines quantitative and qualitative methods, and also uses verbal (Focus Group Interview, survey, face-to-face interviews, complete-the-sentence test) and non-verbal (drawings) techniques to study attitudes.

For Part I a self-reported questionnaire was administered to a representative sample of Polish youth from the tenth grade (16-17 years old) to learn about the distribution of their attitudes and beliefs concerning ethnic minorities. In the nationwide survey, respondents were asked to indicate whether they agree or disagree with statements about ethnic minorities or whether they favor or disfavor contact with members of these groups.

Despite many obstacles in applying the methodology of the physical sciences to social reality, the panel study is an attractive way to study the direction of the educational process and the interdependence of different factors.

The evaluation was intended to determine whether the goals of particular projects have been achieved, related to the personal development of the pupils, development of their attitudes and skills. Since personal development is very difficult to measure, attitudes toward minorities and skills of communication were investigated at the beginning of the evaluation, for comparison a year and a half later. For evaluation of educational programs the following techniques were introduced: Focus Group Interview, direct interviewing of teachers, and projective techniques: complete-the-sentence test, drawings, and survey. Each student from the experimental and control classes drew a self-portrait, factors influencing him or her as a member of a particular ethnic group, a Jew, and a Gypsy.

Altogether the students drew 648 pictures which were scanned and printed in a form allowing analysis of possible correlations.

Preliminary hypotheses

The project was aimed at assessing the level of ethnic prejudices and determining the results of educational programs introduced already. The question was whether and how the extent of tolerance and cultural openness changes under the influence of elements purposely included in the curriculum during a set period of time. The effect of these special curricula developed for high school students will be examined.

Several hypotheses were formulated:

  1. that Polish students generally are not familiar with concepts of minorities, do not know much about minorities living currently in Poland, and are not aware of problems between the majority and minorities occurring in different parts of the Polish socio-political landscape
  2. that ethnic prejudices exist among adolescents. The level of prejudice, measured on a social distance scale (modification of Bogartus) will correlate with general acceptance of others, openness, self-acceptance, contacts with minorities, knowledge about minorities, willingness to learn about minorities, and a supportive pattern of parenting.
  3. that educational programs will make a difference in attitudes of students toward minorities and can reduce ethnocentric and anti-Semitic attitudes.
  4. that students with high self-esteem scores will also tend to accept others, to feel accepted by others, and are likely to be less ethnocentric and anti-Semitic than students with low self-esteem score.

Preliminary findings of the survey

The sample consisted of 1002 students (43.6% girls, 56.4% boys). 52.9% of them were age 16, 41.5% age 17, 5.2% age 18, and .3% age 19. 24% of the respondents live in villages, 16.5% in towns of 10,000-50,000 inhabitants, 11.9% in cities of 50,000-100,000, and 46.7% lives in cities of over 100,000. 91.4% of the respondents declare themselves to be Catholics.

The most important finding was that students' attitudes toward minorities are polarized. For example, 24% strongly agree with cliché "Poland for the Poles," and the same percentage strongly disagrees with the statement; 19% of students rather agree, and 16.5% rather disagree. 16.9% of the sample confirm that "It is important to know if someone is of foreign birth or not" (Q2), 23.5% rather agree with the statement, 26.2% rather disagree, and 24.8%.

Anti-Semitic attitudes are present among the surveyed youth. More students (22.2% strongly and 20.5% rather) agree with cliché "On account of their origins, Jews never were and never will be true Poles (Q38) than disagree (18% rather, 13.8% strongly). As many as 53.4% object to Jews being in our government (Q40), as compared to 23.9% who do not object.

Projective tests

Total results of experimental groups from Cracow and Warsaw (B1+B2) compared to results of control groups (A1+A2) in all four investigated social attitudes:

  • there are significant positive differences in the experimental classes. In groups B1 and B2 more students expressed a "positive attitude toward people" and "readiness to cooperate"
  • the majority of students of experimental classes did not reveal two other features: "isolation" and "negative attitude toward people." In the experimental classes there were fewer students with a clear "negative attitude toward people," in relation to both "Jew" and "Gypsy"
  • on the other hand, the results from the experimental class in Łomża do not confirm this tendency. Some variables tend in the opposite direction. In the experimental class there are fewer students with a "positive attitude toward people" in relation to both "Jew" and "Gypsy"

For "mood" (cheerful, sad, aggressive), where the mood is interpreted as an emotional attitude toward Jews and Gypsies:

  • in all experimental groups there were significantly more positive emotional attitudes toward Jews and Gypsies compared to the control classes - more drawings with a cheerful mood
  • there were positive differences in two other categories - fewer sad and aggressive drawings in the experimental classes in relation to both ethnic groups
  • the only exception was that group B3 (Łomża) had slightly worse results for "sad" and "aggressive" in relation to Gypsies
  • comparing the results of all A (A1+A2+A3) to all B (B1+B2+B3+) groups, we see positive tendencies in all valuations of mood

Colors - One-color versus multicolor drawings

  • no positive tendencies in the experimental groups versus the control groups were determined
  • the opposite tendency was also noted - more one-color drawings, for example: in Warsaw group A2 there were 40% one-color drawings, while B2 had 60% (topic "Jew")

New ideas the project brought to me

Taking into account that Polish youth have limited knowledge of minorities living currently in our country and that problems of minorities are peripheral to their awareness, I did not expect students to be unaware that in the past our country was multiethnic and multicultural, and that it provided refuge to people of different religions, persecuted elsewhere. Asked which statements of the questionnaire were the most difficult for them, students answered that those dealing with the topic of minorities, and Q56. Asked to give names of great Poles whose ancestors belonged to other nations (Q56), they evidently had a problem with the answer. This finding, based on the nationwide survey, indicates that the Polish education system changed insufficiently after 1989.

The preliminary analysis of EIDE also shows that the identity of most young Poles is built around traditional, "national" values such as the Church, victories over national enemies, and national heroes taken from history textbooks. A national identity with a multicultural perspective remains wishful thinking at the moment. At the same time it calls for attention from educational policy makers, particularly now, when the Polish educational system is undergoing reform (in September 1999 a middle school called "gymnasium" will be introduced, with a system of teaching in thematic blocks, and a curriculum giving much more freedom to teachers).

Unfortunately, the number of Poles completing higher education is low, so the worldview of our citizenry is constructed largely at home. So far school does not correct the misinformation or attitudes brought from home. Relations between neighboring countries are seen as hostile rather than friendly. School solidifies what divides rather than what connects us, and does little to create open attitudes or a positive image of human diversity. Although this idea is not new, as it is familiar from my own experience in school, this study, undertaken twenty years later (and ten years after the fall of Communism), has confirmed that Polish education is changing much more slowly than political and economic structures are.

In previous research on ethnic prejudice, the respondents did not agree with prejudiced statements but showed prejudiced behavior in certain manipulated contexts. It can be hypothesized that the more subtle the form of racism is, the more subtle the operationalization must be to measure the phenomenon. In many research projects the respondents are asked how they will behave toward ethnic groups in the future, or they are asked to recall past behavior. Only in a few cases do researchers register actual interethnic behavior (Kleinpenning, 145). As a tool of evaluation of educational programs, simulation techniques or drama in an interethnic context, confronted with the quantitative data of surveys and results of analysis of projective techniques, could shed more light on the topic of prejudice.
