Relationships between Prospective Teachers' Multicultural Education Attitudes and Classroom Management Styles
International Journal of Progressive Education, v16 n2 p111-122 2020
This correlation study investigates the relationships between prospective teachers' multicultural education attitudes and classroom management styles. The participants were 495 prospective teachers majoring in different departments of education faculties at two state universities in Turkey. "Democracy and Multicultural Education Attitude Scale" and "Classroom Management Style Scale" were used as data collection tools. Correlation and regression analyses were performed for data analysis by using SPSS 23.0 software. The results of descriptive analyses showed that most of the participants adopted authoritative style in terms of classroom management. Also, they had positive attitudes towards multicultural and democracy education. According to correlation analysis, there were significant relationships between the variables. Specifically, authoritative style was a powerful predictor of the attitude towards democracy and multicultural education. The prospective teachers with more authoritarian and indifferent styles had more biases towards multicultural education. Moreover, it is estimated that discussion and educational implications will shed light on teacher education.
