Multicultural Education Through Shared Adventure, Alan N. Wright Jan 1994

Multicultural Education Through Shared Adventure, Alan N. Wright

Research in Outdoor Education

This paper explores a framework for using adventure education methods to achieve the multicultural edu­cation goals of increased understanding of one's own cultural heritage and a reduction in prejudice toward others. A cultural identity self is proposed for self-concept models. Prejudice reduction for shared adven­ture is expected based on the contact hypothesis and cooperative learning research.

The Relationship Of Continuum Scaling Scores And Certainty Scaling Scores On The Outdoor Situational Fear Inventory, Anderson B. Young, Thomas Quinn, Thomas W. Steele

Research in Outdoor Education

This study examined the reliability and relationship of two methods of scaling the Outdoor Situational Fear Inventory-continuum scaling and the more easily scored certainty method of scaling. With either scaling method, the OSFI and its subscales were reliable as measured by Cronbach's alpha. The relation­ships of the two instruments' overall and subscale scores were strong.
