The effects of cross-cultural training on the attributions and attitudes of preservice teachers

The Hispanic population in the United States is well on its way of becoming the largest minority group. It is also known that a great number of Hispanics have difficulty functioning in the school environment. Since schools institutionalize the dominant Anglo-American culture code, it may well be that intercultural conflicts are the root of the problem. Ignorance of other cultures can produce misinterpretation of behavior and may lead to cultural conflict. Cross-cultural training may help teachers identify and define cultural patterns of Hispanic students.
