Abstract

The paper investigated through which subjects intercultural education
can best be applied in the primary school curriculum. Teachers' attitudes were
investigated through 5 variables such as school cultural structure, gender, seniority,
teacher’s prior intercultural education and teacher’s education degree. A 5 point
Likert scale consisting of 6 items was used for data collection. This scale was
applied to 217 primary school teachers in the Republic of North Macedonia. The
ranking of subjects through which intercultural education is implemented was done
through descriptive statistics. Differences in teachers' attitudes on subject ranking
were tested through t-test and One Way ANOVA. The research results showed
that teachers require another form of implementation of intercultural education
(M=3.55) in addition to implementation through extracurricular activities (M=3.46).
Teachers working in a multicultural school think that intercultural education should
be implemented through an another form, while teachers working in a monocultural
school think that intercultural education should be implemented in homeroom
class. Teachers with "combined" intercultural education think that this education
should be implemented through extracurricular activities, while teachers who have
independently studied intercultural think that intercultural education should be
implemented through an another form
