Acquisition of Cultural
Awareness in Pre-Service Teachers
by: Peter W. Kilgour
This journal is about the desire of teacher educators in Australia
that their mandated unit of study on multiculturalism and indigenous studies
produces a cultural awareness in future teachers of the
issues faced by multicultural and indigenous students. The writer reports a study where one cohort of 119 pre-service teachers was surveyed in the first and last lectures of the unit on what they believed would be the factors affecting their teaching in multicultural and indigenous classrooms. Students moved from a perception that physical, religious and language factors
would be the main issues to their belief that prejudice, stereotyping, sensitivity and ethnocentrism
would be the factor they would need to work with. And the writer hope student could understand many point of view of this study and apply it in the classroom. For me this journal really helpful and it can help me to teach in the future.
