    White teacher attitudes to multi-racial schools in South Africa.
    (2015-03-05) Douglas, Sharon Lesley
    The purpose of this study was to investigate attitudes of White teachers towards multi-racial education and factors affecting these attitudes. The original sample was to consist of English and Afrikaans speaking White teachers in Krugersdorp. However, the Transvaal Education Department denied permission to conduct the stud) and the sample was changed to one-hundred-and-forty teachers doing post gradv.-~e work both at the University of the Witwatersrand and Rand Afrikaans University. Since the new sample for the study consisted of teachers enrolled for postgraduate study, the findings of the study are limited to similar populations. The research design usgd was descriptive. Attitude Towards Segregation scale adapted from Kosenbaum and Zimmerman (19u9) was administered to both groups of teachers. Responses were summarized by calculating the mean and standard deviation to each item. An analysis of variance test was administered because of the multi-variate characteristics of the hypothesis to be tested. When sample cells hum unequal sizes, the corrections were made by the O.L.M. process. Also post hoc comparisons were made by the application of Duncan's multiple range test.
