Teacher and student attitudes towards multicultural issues

<p>The purposes of this research were to (a) measure the multicultural attitudes of teachers in a secondary setting, grades 9-12 (<em>n</em>=6); (b) measure the multicultural attitudes of the students in those teachers' classes (<em>n</em>=92); and (c) determine whether these samples of students and teachers have statistically similar multicultural attitudes that indicate a positive relationship. Teachers and students demonstrated largely positive attitudes towards multicultural issues. A series of t-tests revealed the attitudes of the two groups were statistically similar on 12 of the 13 questionnaire items regarding multicultural issues. Implications for schools, teachers, and multicultural education in general are discussed.</p>
