Given the meaningful influence of positive multicultural attitude on cultural sensitivity and significant mediator effect of self efficacy as a school nurse between the two variables, the strategies to cultivate a positive multicultural attitude and enhance school nurses' self efficacy in their unique role should be considered in a training program. School nurses' health care services will benefit from the improvement of cultural sensitivity toward young children from multicultural families.

While a growing number of research studies on diversity in higher educational institutions provide a broad evidence for the positive influence that workforce diversity has on performance, this study drawn from one American (n = 539) and one middle eastern (n = 145) university revealed that cultural diversity and equality and diversity were positively related to organisational performance in both universities. Our hypothesised relationship between multicultural diversity and performance was not supported in the middle eastern university; this is due to the fact that even when non-western universities use the US model, they still confront many challenges resulting from the lack of completely not partially integrating the US model in the whole strategy of the university.

“…When the national and international literature related to the scales in the field of multicultural education is examined, it is seen that from the beginning of the 1990's, there has been a transition from scales which aimed at measuring the sensitivity, attitudes and opinions of prospective teachers (Multicultural Beliefs Scale, Reiff & Cannella, 1992;Multicultural Teaching Concerns Survey, Marshall, 1992; Teacher Multicultural Attitude Survey, Ponterotto et al, 1998; Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale, Neville et al, 2000; Multicultural Personality Questionnaire, Van der Zee & Van Oudenhoven, 2003;Attitude Scale Towards Multicultural Education For Prospective Teachers, Yavuz ve Anıl, 2010;Multicultural Attitude Scale, Damgaci, 2013), to scales which aimed at measuring the multicultural competencies of teachers.…”

The purpose of this study is to develop a scale in order to identify the critical mutlicultural education competencies of teachers. For this reason, first of all, drawing on the knowledge in the literature, a new conceptual framework was created with deductive method based on critical theory, critical race theory and critical multicultural education theory, which includes dimensions of awareness, knowledge, attitude and skill. In accordance with this framework, experimental form consisting of 56 items was submitted to experts for consideration. In accordance with the responses of the experts, content validity rate of the items was identified and the items which were below. 80 level were excluded from the study. The pilot study form consisting of 45 items, was applied to teachers who work preschools, primary and secondary school and the data which was obtained from 421 teachers in total were analyzed. Through the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), a structure consisting of "Awareness", "Attitude'', "Knowledge" and "Skill" and 42 items was reached. The relationship between sub-dimensions of the scale was examined and it was observed that the factors were positively and significantly correlated with each other. In this case, it was concluded that scale supports the theory. After the analysis, it was confirmed that the sub-dimensions were the components of a structure called critical multicultural education competency and that together they form a higher structure. It was determined that the goodness of fit index of the model is quite high. Confirmatory Factor Analysis also confirmed the results of EFA. The internal coefficient of concordance was determined as .845 for the whole scale.
