ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the barriers and variables affecting multicultural parent and teacher communication by comparing the relationships between multicultural sensitivity and multicultural teaching efficacy of elementary school teachers. 500 elementary school teachers with schools with a high percentage of students with a culturally diverse background of students were enrolled in the study. A total of 452 surveys were distributed and 414 responses were used for statistical analysis. The current study reported correlations between multicultural sensitivity, multicultural teaching efficacy, and the level and ability of multicultural parent-teacher communication. No direct correlation between multicultural sensitivity and the level and ability of multicultural parent-teacher communication was reported, however, through the mediation of multicultural teaching efficacy, significant improvements were reported on multicultural sensitivity and multicultural parent-teacher communication. To improve multicultural parent and teacher communication, there is a necessity for more systematic education and training courses on multicultural teaching efficacy and multicultural sensitivity to elementary school teachers.
