Honduran Culture Assimilator

Abstract

This represents a short but compact course in Honduran culture by means of a special kind of programmed instruction called "a culture assimilator." The culture assimilator is designed to increase the effectiveness of social interaction when people from different cultures are involved. It does not merely provide the learner with facts about the culture he is studying. Instead, along with some pertinent facts, the learner is given the opportunity to learn the culture by participating in significant situations which he is asked to consider, analyze, interpret, and respond to in various ways. Then the learner is given evaluative feedback about his responses, which help him to see the effect that his interpretation of and response to the situation might have had in actual cross-cultural interaction. The burden of the learning is, of course, on the student.
