A Correlational Study on Multicultural and Egalitarian Beliefs of English Teachers

Summary/Abstract: This correlational study aims to investigate the relationship between the demographic variables and beliefs of English teachers regarding multicultural and egalitarian education. The quantitative data were collected with the Teacher Cultural Beliefs Scale adapted into Turkish, while qualitative data were gathered via semi-structured interviews. The study was conducted with 211 English teachers working in public schools in Turkey during the 2023-2024 academic year. The findings revealed that the teachers strongly supported multicultural and egalitarian beliefs, and implemented various materials and activities in their classes. Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference between multicultural and egalitarian beliefs of the participants and their demographic variables (i.e., gender, age, teaching experience, educational level, institution type, pre-service training and in-service training). Further educational implications are discussed.
