A Study of Changes in Self-Report Concerning Cultural Bias and Openness Toward Change Among Desegregation Workshop Participants

Abstract

The sixty five teachers who attended a desegregation workshop were administered two instruments which attempted to measure cultural bias and openness toward change. Upon factor analysis the Curriculum Change Measure yielded 14 factors. Comparisons of pre-test and post-test results showed that small changes had occurred in the desired direction, as measured by the Cultural Differentiation Measure and the Curriculum Change Measure.
