摘要:This study, aiming to determine the competency perceptions of teachers
regarding multiculturalism of teachers working at the secondary schools
in Tokat province, Turkey, employed a descriptive survey model. The
study population was 341 teachers working at secondary education
institutions in Tokat province in the 2014-2015 school year. Data was
collected using a questionnaire consisting of seven questions to collect
personal information, the “Multicultural Competency Perceptions Scale”
developed by Başkaya & Kağnıcı (2011), and an open-ended question.
Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS 20 program, and qualitative
data was analyzed using content analysis technique. From the analyses,
the scores regarding the multiculturalism competency perceptions of
teachers were found to be positive and above the mean score. While the
multiculturalism competency perceptions of teachers did not differentiate
according to gender, workplace, faculty of graduation, age, or seniority,
they differed according to the residential area, and subject. The findings
obtained through the qualitative data showed that although teachers had
positive perception of their competency regarding multiculturalism, this
was not reflected to any great extent in the classroom.
