Abstract | This study was designed to ascertain whether the self-acceptance of second grade Chicano children could be improved by incorporating into the curriculum selected activities which reflected characteristics of each child to himself and by adding a supplementary language experience approach to reading. Subjects included 91 children from two elementary schools; the experimental group was composed of 50 percent Chicano students, while the control group was composed of approximately 30 percent Chicano students. Activities which were added to the experimental group's curriculum included (1) a Polaroid camera with which the children could take pictures of each other; (2) bar graphs to record the height and weight gain of each child; (3) cassette tape recorder and tapes; (4) a collection of books about Chicano children with pre-recorded tapes of some of them; (5) videotape recordings for each child; (6) tracings of each child's body; (7) dark-skinned puppets, taped stories and songs, books and posters with the central theme of "I am the only me in the world," and (8) a blank book in which each child could write and read stories about himself. Findings indicated no significant differences between the groups due to method. There was, however, a teacher effect on self-acceptance and reading attitude. (Author/HOD) |
