- Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the perceptions of academics working at the Faculties of Education on Critical Multicultural Education -Teacher Competencies. The study group in this descriptive study consisted of 328 academics who worked at Faculties of Education of 93 universities in the 2016-2017 academic year in Turkey. The data were collected using the "Critical Multicultural Education Teacher Competencies Scale" (CMETCS). The Critical Multicultural Education Teacher Competencies Scale consists of 4 sub-dimensions as awareness, knowledge, skill, and attitude. Cronbach Alpha consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated as .85. Reliability analysis which was performed to determine the appropriateness of the scale for this study demonstrated that reliability coefficients of the subdimensions ranged between (a) 0,724 and 0,896, and the reliability coefficient for the whole scale was 0,815. The findings revealed that the academics perceived themselves as competent regarding the general scale, and partially competent in terms of knowledge and awareness dimensions. This study demonstrated that variables, such as gender, age, ethnic origin, and mother language variables, caused significant differences in the perceptions of the academics.
