Reconciliation education

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Reconciliation education is a teaching-learning framework for improving participants' attitudes toward other groups of people[1][2] based on classroom action research findings.[3][4] The other group may possess characteristics diverse from participants’ own, such as a different ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, etc.[5] Participants engage in a positive discourse about the other group to counter negative or prejudiced attitudes toward them held by participants and/or wider society.[6][7]

Terminology

Reconciliation education was developed by Dr Adam Paul Heaton based on findings from his 2014 doctorate of philosophy study.[1] The study found that as Australian Grade 8 students engaged in a positive discourse about Aboriginal Australians they developed more positive attitudes toward the other group.[8][9] Points of commonality exist with allophilia[5] and reconciliation[10][11].
