Similarities and Differences: A Malaysian and Australian Research Study

Allan Leslie White, Khar Thoe Ng

Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

An educational and cultural tour will reveal many differences and similarities between the visitors and the hosts. The reactions by both parties can be positive or negative. A negative reaction by either party seeks to emphasise the differences between visitors and host by using the language of exclusion, to create a position of power or prestige for a few to reject or disparage the many. While, a positive reaction by either or both parties is more inclusive and regards the similarities between host and visitors as an opportunity for mutual understanding and the differences as an opportunity for the enrichment and completion of all. This research study will detail the success or failure of the 2011 School Educational and Cultural Program for Australian Pre-service Teachers to produce a positive reaction.
