Programi indirektnog kontakta između učenika i njihovih vršnjaka sa Daunovim sindromom (The programs of indirect contact between students and their peers with Down syndrome)

This is the first book in the Serbian language in which are included all programs of indirect contact, with relevant theoretical backgrounds, between students and their peers with Down syndrome.

Programs of indirect contact are based on the theoretical postulates of the contact hypothesis (Allport, 1954) and the theory of social identity (Tajfel & Turner, 1986). Birt and Crisp (2012) and Cameron et al. (2011) suggest that the programs of indirect contact include programs of Extended Contact (Wright et al., 1997), and the programs of Imagined Contact (Crisp & Turner, 2009; Crisp et al., 2009). The programs of Extended Contact include: A Model of Desegregation (Brewer & Miller, 1984), A Model of Intergroup Contact (Hewstone & Brown, 1986), The Common Ingroup Identity Model (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000) and The Dual Identity Model (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2005; Dovidio et al., 2009).

The book consists of five chapters in which describe positive interactions, in interesting environments, between students and their peers with Down syndrome. In the first four chapters are presented illustrated stories followed by a discussion and worksheets delivered in accordance with the theoretical postulates of the expanded programs by models: Desegregation, Common Ingroup Identity, Intergroup Contact and Dual Identity, while the fifth chapter presents materials for implementing the Imagined Contact.
