The inclusion of these culturally diverse groups in the education system makes it necessary to evaluate teachers' perspectives and experiences on differences. The purpose of the study is to examine the strengths and weaknesses of cultural diversity as well as the opportunities and threats that cultural diversity poses to teachers. The research is designed as a qualitative phenomenological study to reveal the perceptions of the participants about the cultural diversity that exists in schools. In this study, teachers were reached by using the snowball sampling method of the purposive sampling approach.  \n118 teachers who are still teaching in Türkiye’s various regions during the 2021-2022 academic year voluntarily filled out the online form. The data obtained were transferred to the MAXQDA package program and similar expressions were gathered under four main themes: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The main themes were created to consist of the steps of the SWOT analysis. Then, content analysis was applied to the data categorized according to the SWOT analysis steps. According to the findings, the strengths of cultural diversity in the classroom mostly gathered around “knowledge construction” and “supporting creativity”. The findings also indicated that teachers' views on the weaknesses of cultural diversity mostly gathered around “difficulty addressing all differences” and “lack of communication”, and teachers’ views on the threats against cultural diversity mostly gathered around “cultural conflict” and “cultural insensitivity”. Finally, teachers also believe that “learning cultural components” and gaining new experiences” are the most important opportunities for cultural diversity.  \nKeywords: Cultural Diversity, Multiculturalism, SWOT Analysis, Qualitative Research  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2022.478.3  \nSubmitted: 14 June 2022 Accepted: 16 November 2022 Published: 05 December 2022  \n1Assistant Prof. Dr., Faculty of Education, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Türkiye, ORCID: 0000-0003-0802-4536  \n[Correspondence](Correspondence: yahyahan@gmail.com)[: yahyahan@gmail.com](Correspondence: yahyahan@gmail.com)  \nIntroduction  \nThe migration of people with different cultural backgrounds from the areas where they live to different regions enriches the cultural diversity of the countries (Berry, 2016; Dandy & Pe-Pua, 2010; Hurn & Tomalin, 2013; Karakaş & Erbaş, 2018; Sides & Citrin, 2007; Schwartz, 2004) . It is a wellknown fact that there have been great human migrations all over the world, especially in the last 20 years. According to United Nations Data (2018), more than 250 million individuals, or approximately one out of every 30 people, including all voluntary and forced migrations, are defined as international migrants. Another well-known fact is that Türkiye is one of the countries that is most affected by these migration movements and hosts a great deal of cultural diversity (Erbaş, 2021) . Depending on various migration movements, the demographic structure of the Republic of Türkiye is constantly changing (Bülbül & Köse, 2010; Yılmaz, 2014) . When we examine these data specific to Türkiye, we see that human mobility has reached large numbers. According to the data of the General Directorate of Migration Management (2022), the number of Syrians under temporary protection in our country is more than 3.6 million, which indicates that one out of every 25 people living in the country is Syrian. Changes due to migration also directly affect diverse student populations in schools (Figen, 2015) . For instance, based on the data gathered from the General Directorate of Migration Management (2022), 1.7 million children of migrant families are of school age (between 5 and 18 years old) .
