The notion of diversity in the context of education was presented as individual differences between students based on race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, abilities, sexual orientation and social class. The results indicate that teachers show different levels of openness towards certain aspects of diversity in the domains of both personal and professional beliefs, but that their personal beliefs are statistically more positive than their professional beliefs. Differences in teachers’ beliefs with respect to years of work experience, previous education and professional position were also examined. Statistically significant differences were established only regarding professional position and only in the segment of professional beliefs. The results indicate that there is a need for further research in this area, that is, research that primarily investigates the factors that influence teachers’ professional beliefs.  \nKeywords: diversity, inclusive education, multicultural education, primary school, teachers’ beliefs  \n1 Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia; [ze.knezevic@gmail.com](ze.knezevic@gmail.com).  \n214 primary school teachers’ personal and professional beliefs on diversity  \nOsebna in poklicna prepričanja osnovnošolskih učiteljevglede raznolikosti  \nŽeljka Knežević  \n• V prispevku je predstavljena raziskava, opravljena med hrvaškimi osnovnošolskimi učitelji razrednega in predmetnega pouka, o njihovihosebnih in poklicnih prepričanjih glede raznolikosti. Pojem raznolikosti v kontekstu izobraževanja je bil predstavljen kot individualne razlike med učenci na podlagi rase, etnične pripadnosti, verskih prepričanj, spola, zmožnosti, spolne usmerjenosti in družbenega razreda. Izsledki kažejo, da učitelji na področju osebnih in poklicnih prepričanj kažejorazlične stopnje odprtosti do nekaterih vidikov raznolikosti, vendar sonjihova osebna prepričanja – statistično gledano – bolj pozitivna kot poklicna prepričanja. Preučene so bile tudi razlike v prepričanjih učiteljev glede na leta delovnih izkušenj, predhodno izobrazbo in poklicni položaj. Statistično značilne razlike so bile ugotovljene le glede poklicnega položaja in le v segmentu poklicnih prepričanj. Rezultati kažejo, da so na tem področju potrebne nadaljnje raziskave, z drugimi besedamiraziskave, ki bi preučevale predvsem dejavnike, ki vplivajo na poklicna prepričanja učiteljev.  \nKljučne besede: raznolikost, inkluzivno izobraževanje, multikulturnoizobraževanje, osnovna šola, prepričanja učiteljev  \nIntroduction  \nProcesses such as globalisation, migration and increased individual mobility make nations around the world culturally more diverse. In this respect, numerous countries have been recording larger shares of immigrants. The result of this global trend is increased diversity in society, which is directly reflected in education and creates, above all, a challenge for teachers to successfully respond to the needs of their students.  \nDiversity is a very complex and layered notion. In the scientific literature, it is viewed from various perspectives and defined in various ways (Puttick[et. al](et. al)., 2021). Regardless of the various perspectives, diversity, at its core, implies the understanding that individuals can differ from others they live with based on their characteristics (e.g., Arnesen et al., 2010; Mazziotta et al., 2016) . In the field of education, diversity is defined as a wide range of differences in students’characteristics and needs (OECD, 2019), which can “affect the specific ways in which developmental potential and learning are realised”(Burns & ShadoianGersing, 2010","cbCaiutuL6zELhDU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiutuL6zELhDU","pdf",244820,23,"English","# Introduction\n## Diversity in education\n## Challenges and opportunities\n## Multicultural education","[{\"question\":\"How does the paper define diversity in the educational context?\",\"answer\":\"Diversity is defined as a broad range of differences in students’ characteristics and needs, including race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, abilities, sexual orientation, and social class.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results show about teachers’ personal vs. professional beliefs?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers show different openness levels across diversity aspects, but their personal beliefs are statistically more positive than their professional beliefs.\"},{\"question\":\"Which teacher characteristics are linked to differences in beliefs?\",\"answer\":\"Differences are examined across years of experience, previous education, and professional position; statistically significant differences are found only regarding professional position within professional beliefs.\"}]","Primary School Teachers’ Personal and Professional Beliefs on Diversity | PDF",1792086935,58]
