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.
