This paper examines the teaching of Human Relations (HR) in secondary schools. It concludes with a comprehensive HR course that could be used at years 9, 10 or 11 in a secondary school. The paper defines HR, discusses the content of HR courses (through a survey undertaken by the author) and stresses the importance of the correct classroom climate in teaching HR. An integrated approach to teaching is shown to be the most appropriate for HR courses. An integrated approach is one where the course crosses over subject boundaries and does not restrict itself to remaining within one discipline. Expectations of the community in regards to schooling in general and HR teaching in particular are also examined. The paper also shows how to introduce an HR course to a school. The pitfalls, physical requirements and ways of evaluating the effectiveness of the course are shown, mainly through action research. This method is discussed in detail with particular emphasis on how this research method allows the HR course to be continually updated in response to student demands. The concluding section of the paper brings together the earlier material and produces an HR course. As well as directions for the students, there are notes for the teacher concerning assessment, problems with training teachers to teach the course, the reasons for the content within the HR course, discipline approaches and the emphasis on games as group building tools.
