abstract = "Introduction: Cultural competencies, as a set of values, knowledge,
attitudes and skills needed for understanding and respecting culturally
different individuals, and establishing positive and constructive relations
with them, are considered an important aspect of the professional
development of teachers in the framework of intercultural education.
Aim: An insight into the level of cultural competencies of high school
teachers – in the domains of cultural awareness, knowledge and skills,
while looking at the influence of gender and age of respondents on the
results of self-assessment.
Method: The sample consisted of 254 teachers (78.7% female), aged 23
to 63 (M = 45.7; SD = 9.11), from eight Belgrade high schools. Data were
collected with the Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist, which
consists of 36 items on a four-point Likert-type scale (α = .95), grouped
into three subscales: cultural awareness (α = .77), cultural knowledge (α =
.91) and cultural skills (α = .92).
Results: High school teachers report a satisfactory level of cultural
competence (M = 3.13; SD = .47), whereby they have the most cultural
knowledge (M = 3.38; SD = .52), followed by cultural skills (M = 3.10; SD
= .59) and, finally, cultural awareness (M = 2.88; SD = .49). Younger and
female teachers estimate their own level of overall cultural competence
higher than older (r = 0.21, p < 0.01) and male teachers (t(214) = -2.26, p
< 0.05). The most significant differences, when it comes to the teacher’s
gender, are recorded at the level of cultural skills (t(240) = -3.24, p < 0.01),
while in relation to age, the differences are most pronounced in the
domain of cultural knowledge (r = 0.23, p < 0.01).
Conclusion: Although teachers rate their cultural competence at a
relatively high level, there is room for improvement. It would be desirable
to implement professional development programs that, through the
strengthening of cultural awareness, knowledge and skills of teachers,
would contribute to democratic culture, intercultural education and
culturally competent practice in educational work., Uvod: Kulturalne kompetencije, kao skup vrednosti, znanja, stavova
i veština potrebnih za razumevanje i poštovanje kulturalno različitih
pojedinaca, te uspostavljanje pozitivnih i konstruktivnih odnosa sa
njima, smatraju se važnim aspektom profesionalnog razvoja nastavnika u
okvirima interkulturalnog obrazovanja.
Cilj: Uvid u nivo razvijenosti kulturalnih kompetencija nastavnika srednje
škole – u domenima kulturalne svesnosti, znanja i veština, uz sagledavanje
uticaja pola i starosti ispitanika na rezultate samoprocene.
Metode: Uzorak je činilo 254 nastavnika (78,7% ženskog pola), starosti od
23 do 63 godine (M = 45,7; SD = 9,11), iz osam beogradskih srednjih škola.
Podaci su prikupljeni Kontrolnom listom za samoprocenu kulturalne
kompetencije (Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist), koju čini
36 stavki na četvorostepenoj skali Likertovog tipa (α = .95), grupisanih u
tri podskale: kulturalna svesnost (α = .77), kulturalno znanje (α = .91) i
kulturalne veštine (α = .92).
Rezultati: Nastavnici srednje škole poseduju zadovoljavajući nivo
kulturalnih kompetencija (M = 3,13; SD = .47), pri čemu u najvećoj meri
raspolažu kulturalnim znanjem (M = 3,38; SD = .52), zatim kulturalnim
veštinama (M = 3,10; SD = .59) i, na kraju, kulturalnom svesnošću (M =
2,88; SD = .49). Mlađi i nastavnici ženskog pola procenjuju sopstveni nivo
ukupnih kulturalnih kompetencija višim u odnosu na starije (r = 0,21, p
< 0.01) i nastavnike muškog pola (t(214) = -2,26, p < 0,05). Najznačajnije
razlike, kada je u pitanju pol nastavnika, beleže se na nivou kulturalnih
veština (t(240) = -3,24, p < 0,01), dok su u odnosu na starost, razlike
najizraženije u domenu kulturalnog znanja (r = 0,23, p < 0,01).
Zaključak: Iako nastavnici svoje kulturalne kompetencije ocenjuju na
relativno visokom nivou, prostor za njihovo unapređivanje postoji.
Opravdano bi bilo implementirati programe stručnog usavršavanja
koji bi, kroz jačanje kulturalne svesnosti, znanja i veština nastavnika,
doprineli demokratskoj kulturi, interkulturalnom obrazovanju i kulturalno
kompetentnoj praksi u obrazovnom radu.",
