Limited empirical research has been carried out to understand how multiculturalism has played a role in Macau\u2019s education. Under the impact of globalization, cultural diversity is restructuring the aim of education, the experience of teaching and learning, and teacher\u2019s training in many ways. Given the colonial history, multiculturalism has and continues to characterize educational provision in Macau. Increasing regional and international significance of Macau\u2019s tourist industry further raise the need of educating labor with multi-cultural skills. A significant number of non-local students and teachers, on the one hand, provides a good environment for cultural diversity education; on the other hand, brings new challenges to teachers\u2019 culturally responsive teaching (CRT) ability. This research is a quantitative study looking at pre-service and in-service teachers\u2019 awareness towards the relation between culture and students\u2019 learning experience and results, as well as teachers\u2019 practice of culturally respective skills in their classroom management and curriculum design. This study adopts a convenient sampling strategy. Students enrolled in the Post Graduate Diploma of Education programme in AY2018\/2019 were surveyed. A bilingual anonymous questionnaire survey was given to the students with front page instruction of the study and data usage information. In total 130 students have completed the questionnaire. Research findings contribute to exiting literature on diversity education by shedding light on factors affecting teacher\u2019s attitudes and practices of culturally responsive teaching. Policy makers can use research findings to improving teacher\u2019s training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
