Authors: Zuzovsky, Ruth; Yakir, Ruth
Abstract: This paper reports on an educational programme that aimed to
change prevailing attitudes of student-teachers and their pupils toward regional
collaboration in managing water resources involved in the Israeli-Palestinian
dispute. A curriculum dedicated to this issue was developed and implemented in
five teachers' colleges in Israel: two Arab colleges, two Jewish secular and one
Jewish religious college. The student-teachers subsequently taught different
versions of the new curriculum to junior high school pupils, as part of their
practicum activities. The curriculum was intended to broaden student-teachers'
and pupils' knowledge base concerning water use and management issues. It was
assumed that the new knowledge acquired would support the development of
concomitant belief systems and attitudinal changes regarding issues of peaceful
coexistence. This intervention was based on cognitive theories of attitudinal
change (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1980; Ajzen and Madden, 1986; Fishbein and Ajzen,
1975). Pre- and post intervention knowledge and belief questionnaires were
developed and administered to the student-teacher sample, (133 students) and to
the junior high school pupils they taught (300 pupils). At. the end of the
programme, both Israeli Arabs' and Israeli Jews' perceptions about water were
more realistic. They tended to perceive water as a regional resource that should
be shared and treated cooperatively. However, within the Jewish student-teachers
sample, religious Jewish student--teachers remained high in their separatist
position, whilst secular Jewish student-teachers moved toward preferring
collaboration. The results of our study show that although student perceptions
toward sharing water resources were affected by their national and religious
identity, these perceptions were not immutable. Education can play a role in
preparing the people of our region toward cooperation and peaceful coexistence.1999-01-01T00:00:00ZMediterranean Journal of Educational Studies : Volume 4, Issue 1https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/188542019-05-20T08:17:56Z1999-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Mediterranean Journal of Educational Studies : Volume 4, Issue 1
