The responses of 38 preservice teachers enrolled in an education course entitled "Teaching in a Pluralist Society" were obtained through interviews, essays, and survey instruments. The students' responses were analyzed in relation to their knowledge of multicultual education, inter-ethnic experiences and behaviors, and attitudes and feelings about self and others. Three groups of students participated in the study: 25 were volunteers, eight were nonvolunteers, and five were "resistors" (reluctant learners, as identified by the instructor). Preliminary findings are discussed in the areas of: (1) common patterns among students with positive attitudes toward the course; (2) relationships among increased knowledge, changes in attitudes, and feelings toward other ethnic groups; (3) attitude changes between students having frequent previous high quality inter-ethnic experiences and students having infrequent low quality inter-ethnic experiences; (4) attitude changes in students with positive initial attitudes; (5) comparisons between students' initial and final attitudes; and (6) comparison between the initial and final variables of the five students who changed most and the five students who changed least. Tentative conclusions and implications are presented. (FG)
