| Summary: | ABSTRACT: Multiculturalism is the ideology that ascribes special value to communities
comprising people of varied nationalities, cultural backgrounds and religious leanings.
The challenges facing a multicultural society are familiar in Canada but relatively
new to Scandinavia. The question arises, How do multicultural societies deal with
challenges posed by their diversity? More particularly what are the multicultural
teaching practices by which these societies seek to incorporate students into a unified
yet diverse community which encourages the preservation of the ethnic, cultural and
religious values. The object of the present research, conducted in Manitoba (Canada),
Norway, and Iceland, was to examine selected teachers’ preparation for teaching culturally
diverse learners, their ability to meet the individual needs of students, and their
perceptions of how their culturally diverse learners adapt to a new cultural community.
