Педагогическа мултикултурна осъзнатост. Апробиране на скала за изследване на учителски нагласи спрямо етнически различните деца в образованието
Pedagogical Multicultural Awareness. Approbation of a Scale for Teachers’ Attitudes towards Students from Different Ethnic Backgrounds in the Educational System

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to explore whether pedagogical multicultural awareness and teacher’s multicultural attitudes differ in terms of variables such as demographic factors (gender and age) and professional factors (pedagogical experience and ethnic diversity of their classes). For the aim of the present research Teacher Multicultural Attitude Survey (TMAS) was adapted. The scale was developed by Ponterotto, Baluch, Greig и Rivera and examines the pedagogical multicultural awareness and teachers’ attitudes towards children of different ethnic minorities in the educational system. The study was attended by 146 teachers from different parts of Bulgaria. The statistical analyze proved a good value for internal consistency of the scale (Cronbach’s alfa = 0,77). The results confirmed both hypotheses and indicated significant differences in teacher attitudes toward multicultural education according to gender and age variables and pedagogical experience and ethnic diversity of their classes
