“…To assess the cultural competence of the students in the two groups, cultural competence survey (Chiang, 2013) was utilized. The content validity of this questionnaire had been established by Chiang (2013) via content validity study by a panel of experts, and a pilot test of the questionnaire was conducted to test the reliability of this instrument. An internal consistency study had also been conducted (Chiang, 2013) to assess the reliability of questions measured on an interval/ratio scale.…”

“…To reestablish the reliability of the Cultural Competence Survey (Chiang, 2013) due to the time-lapse, Cronbach's Alpha which is commonly used as a measure of internal consistency was utilized to indicate consistency among the variables in a summated scale (Hair, 2010). The rationale for internal consistency for a Likert scale survey is that the individual items or indicators of the scale should all be measuring the same construct, and thus should be highly intercorrelated (Hair, 2010).…”

For the past decade, schools at all grade levels in United States continue to consist of students who belong to different culture, and hence the need for culturally competent teachers to address the culturally diverse needs of the students is at its highest peak. One of the ways to impart the attributes of cultural competency to preservice teachers, who will become future teachers, to focus on culturally relevant coursework. This study was carried out via an undergraduate multicultural education course which focused on imparting cultural attitude awareness and cultural knowledge attributes of cultural competency to the students. The influence of this course on these attributes of the students was investigated through a Cultural Competence Survey. The results of this study indicate that experiential and practical aspect of multicultural education has a positive impact on increasing the cultural attitude awareness of the students. It is, hence, a focused, experiential, and practical multicultural education coursework to train culturally competent next generation of teachers.
