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:
- 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
- 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.
- that educational programs will make a difference in attitudes of
students toward minorities and can reduce ethnocentric and
anti-Semitic attitudes.
- 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.
