摘要:The first-year students’ attitudes related to teaching are necessary teleological landmarks for choosing this career. This study has two. The main objectives of this study were to determine the level of cultural intelligence of teachers and to examine which variables could be considered as predictors of cultural intelligence. The study involved 107 elementary school teachers (86.9% female and 13.1% male) from four towns in Serbia. The results show that teachers demonstrate a high level of cultural intelligence and that significant predictors of teachers’ cultural intelligence are enjoyment of intercultural communication, experiencing multicultural classes as a challenge, openness to cultural learning and contacts with people from other cultures. The implications of these results for teachers’ education are presented.
