| Abstract | Wide variation in approaches to teaching about Asia in the schools suggests a need for categorizing those approaches so that a teacher might see his approach in some relationship with others of differing persuasions. The following evolutionary levels of conceptualization are suggested; Asia as (1) a setting for Western history, where Western events take place under foreign and exotic skies; (2) a problem in American foreign policy, recognized because of its potential effect on our lives; (3) a Westernzing area, as opposed to stereotyped concepts of the exotic and impoverished East; (4) comprised of our brothers, or the "we are all human approach"; (5) studied with the comparative social science process approach to country; (6) an area with cultural uniqueness; (7) a region with forms, patterns, and outlooks to be ingested into our own system of thought and behavior. An evolutionary framework--from nonrecognition of Asia to acceptance on Western terms and finally to learning how to think from an Asian point of view--allows the teacher to take himself and his students from one level to the next, starting from whichever level is appropriate. Viewed as a process of consciousness raising, teaching about Asia provides room for growth for both student and teacher. (JH) |
