ABSTRACT
This is a report of the work of two linked research projects mounted at the Centre for Applied Research in Education (CARE) of the University of East Anglia during the period October 1972 to September 1975. Their intention was to explore some of the problems and effects of teaching about race relations. One project was supported by a grant from the Social Science Research Council and the other, by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. The programme was directed by Lawrence Stenhouse and involved a team of three researchers in the study of forty schools throughout the country. It combined a measurement programme on a pre-test post-test basis, designed and executed by Gajendra Verma, with a programme of case study, executed primarily by Robert D. Wild. The experimental teaching took place in the spring term of 1974.
