This paper reports two activities: (1) a US state-mandated program to decrease prejudicial attitudes among pre-licensure prospective teachers and (2) an assessment activity using the Bogardus Social Distance Scale to measure the effects of that program. The paper offers strong evidence both of the effectiveness of the program and the usefulness of the Social Distance Scale as an assessment instrument.
Many programs and activities have been introduced by educators and others in attempts to encourage people, in Rodney King’s words, “…to just get along.” These are worthy causes but too frequently designers and facilitators have failed to assess the effectiveness of these efforts. The Bogardus Social Distance Scale is a tried and trustworthy instrument to measure peoples’ attitudes towards those they perceive as others. The Social Distance Scale has been validated though numerous research studies and has shown itself to be reliable and adaptable across a wide variety of settings and across societies and as suitable as a powerful assessment tool.
