Attitude Levels Towards Multicultural Education in Primary School Teachers from North Lima (Peru)

This quantitative, exploratory, and descriptive study aims to determine the levels of attitude towards multicultural education among primary school teachers in the districts of Los Olivos and Independencia, located in the northern area of Lima Metropolitana (Lima, Peru). The participants comprised 34 teachers (25 women = 73.5%; 9 men = 26.5%), with 73.5% working in public schools and 20.6% in private schools. Data were collected through a Likert-type survey (21 items, four dimensions) and analyzed using IBM SPPS v.25 software. The results indicate that teachers have moderate to low levels of attitude toward multicultural education. Particularly critical were the values obtained in dimensions two (Effects on the Teacher) and three (Work in the Classroom), as in both cases, 50% of the teachers displayed the lowest levels of attitude.
