Purpose: This research aims to determine the relationship between the
perceptions of teacher candidates towards the cultural effect of
globalization and their attitudes towards multicultural education. Research Methods: The sample group consisted of 213 teacher
candidates. In the study’s personal information form, the scale of attitude
towards multicultural education and the scale of perceptions of the cultural
effect of globalization were used. Teacher candidates’ attitudes towards
multicultural education and their perceptions of the cultural effect of
globalization indicated a difference according to some variables, which was
analyzed with Mann-Whitney U (MWU) and Kruskall-Wallis H (KWH) tests. In
order to examine the relationship between teacher candidates’ perceptions of
the cultural effect of globalization and their attitudes towards
multicultural education, the Pearson correlation coefficient technique was
carried out. In addition, a hierarchic regression technique was utilized in
the examination of the relations between variables. Findings: A significant positive relationship was confirmed between the
perceptions regarding cultural effect of globalization and their attitudes
towards multicultural education. It is seen that there is a significant
difference in accordance with the variable of what kind of high school the
teacher candidates graduated from within the perceptions regarding the
cultural effect of globalization. Implications
for Research and Practice: It is seen that teachers’ perceptions of the
cultural effect of globalization has an effect on their attitudes regarding
multicultural education. Multiculturalism and globalization should be added
to class content at every level of the teacher training program. |
