Abstract
Abstract
The research investigated whether there are statistically significant
differences in teachers’ intercultural sensitivity levels according to gender. In
search of the answer to this question two hypotheses were raised: there is no
statistically significant difference in the level of ethnocentrism of teachers
according to gender; there is no statistically significant difference in the level
of ethnorelativism of teachers according to gender. The Intercultural
Sensitivity Index (ISI) was applied to 217 primary school teachers in
multiethnic regions in the Republic of North Macedonia. Respondents rated
themselves on a 5 point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were used to
measure levels of intercultural sensitivity. Hypothesis testing was performed
through t-test. The research results showed that both male and female
teachers in the DMIS ethnocentrism stage show middling level of
ethnocentrism and are positioned in the minimization stage. Male teachers
show statistically lower level of ethnocentrism (M = 2.65, SD = .831, p <.05)
than female teachers (M = 2.92, SD = .600, p <.05). Both female and male
teachers show a high level of intercultural sensitivity in the DMIS
ethnorelativism stage. There is no statistically significant difference in the
level of ethnorelativism between teachers of both genders. Teachers are
"moving" from the minimization stage to the acceptance stage.
