Children's Conceptualization of Ethnic Diversity : A Study of Anglophone Students in Rural Québec.
|
| Abstract |
The author mapped the range of conceptualization of ethnic diversity for twenty Anglophone grade seven students attending a school in rural Quebec. Individual phenomenographic interviews centered around semi-projective stimuli were conducted with each participant. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed in two stages. Utterances related to the concept of ethnic diversity were first identified and subsequently clustered into four categories of description. These are discussed under the headings: Not Just Us Canadians; It's their Culture; Everybody Should Be Treated the Same; and Canada is a Multicultural Country. The author compares the results with those of other studies conducted in New Brunswick and England. Generally, participants demonstrated understandings of ethnic diversity similar to those found in the New Brunswick studies. One key area of difference was that the Quebec students were far more positive about accommodating diversity. It is hypothesized that this may be related to their understanding of themselves as members of a minority group.
