Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions and competencies of secondary school science teachers in Turkey regarding multicultural education. The study was conducted with the explanatory design of mixed methods. Quantitative data were collected with the Multicultural Competence Perceptions Scale and the Multicultural Education Perceptions Scale to determine science teachers' perceptions and competencies regarding multicultural education, and 204 science teachers with different demographic characteristics participated in the study. According to the analysis, science teachers who were older in terms of age and experience had higher perceptions of multicultural education and competencies than other teachers. In addition, the findings suggest that as teachers gain knowledge about multicultural education, their competencies related to multicultural education can be supported.
