Απόψεις των εκπαιδευτικών για τις επιμορφωτικές τους ανάγκες και τη γονεϊκή συμμετοχή στο σύγχρονο πολυπολιτισμικό σχολείο

Περίληψη

The formative influences of multicultural ism on Greek society found the teachers almost unprepared to cope with the difficulties emerging in the verse classrooms. Further training seminars on multicultural education are, thus, expected to counterbalance the noticeable lack of undergraduate knowledge about school diversity. The present questionnaire-based survey aims at ascertaining the attitudes of Secondary Education teachers towards undergraduate and postgraduate multicultural education. Teachers evaluate the adequacy and functionality of their undergraduate knowledge, define the teaching dexterities needed in linguistically/culturally diverse classrooms, put forward suggestions about the improvement of postgraduate training courses and the development of respect for diversity, and examine the role of parents and school cooperation in the establishment of sound in-classroom relations in a multicultural society.
