This study examined the relationship between four variables identified with Multicultural Education (MCE) among elementary school certificated personnel. The variables were self-assessed preparation in MCE, formal exposure to MCE learning opportunities, informal exposure to MCE learning opportunities, and stages of ethnic awareness |
|
Two instruments were specifically developed for this study. The Multicultural Education Preparedness (MEP) instrument is a self-assessment inventory of skills and knowledge associated with MCE in the literature and by an expert panel using a modified delphi process. The Multicultural Learning Opportunities (MLO) instrument is a self-assessment inventory of formal and informal previous MCE learning opportunities. As with the MEP, the MLO items were derived from MCE literature and an expert panel using a modified delphi process. A third instrument, the Teacher-Student Interaction (TSI) instrument designed to classify respondents into stages of awareness corresponding to Banks' (1977) typology, was used with permission |

The study sample consisted of 315 elementary school certificated personnel from a medium size suburban school district in the Pacific Northwest. To test for correlation between variables, Pearson product moment correlations were calculated. While five of fifteen hypotheses were statistically significant, only two of five r's had practical significance in accordance with Marascuilo's (1971) guidelines for interpreting r('2). Respondents who feel more prepared in MCE also tend to have more informal MCE learning opportunities; and not surprisingly, the older the respondent, the more years of K-12 experience. The three instruments, MEP, MLO, and TSI had high reliability coefficients of .94, .87 and .94, respectively. For all three instruments, the indices of discrimination were positive |
