Teaching about East Asia in North Dakota Secondary Schools.
Peterson, Fredrick E.
The current practice of teaching about East Asia in North Dakota schools was surveyed. From a list of 607 North Dakota social studies teachers, ranging from grades 7 to 12 in both public and private schools, a target sample of 266 teachers was administered a questionnaire. All regions of the states, with at least one teacher form each school, were represented. One hundred sixty-eight teachers (63%) responded, yielding information on the amount of teaching, kinds of materials, types of teaching activities, and teachers' perceptions and opinions on teaching about East Asia in the schools. Detailed, question by question, analyses of the data, with accompanying statistical tables are presented. The findings indicate that teachers in North Dakota secondary schools do discuss or teach about East Asia, most commonly in the history and geography classrooms; China and Japan were more likely to be taught than any other regions in East Asia, with the textoook being the dominant medium utilized. Implications of the findings were discussed. Appendices include the questionnaire, cover letter, and the geographic distribution of responses. (SY)
