Teachers' Attitudes towards Racism and Xenophobia in Pre-School Education
Online Submission, Innovare Journal of Education v12 n4 2024
This study aims to research the phenomena of Racism and Xenophobia in pre-school education in the context of Greek reality through the attitudes and views of teachers who are the communicators of educational practice. The radical change in the racial and religious homogeneity of Greek education in recent decades as a result of globalization and the high mobility of populations has created significant challenges in the educational scene, giving rise to the need to investigate the phenomenon. For the study, we employed a qualitative methodology. The teachers stated that issues such as xenophobia, religious differences, and the economic hardship in which many families have fallen due to the economic crisis make the phenomenon difficult, making the predictions for its development ominous.
