• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The main aim of this study was to explore the influence of the Western teachers' values and cultures on the Emirati students' character and moral development in the international schools from Emirati parents' point of view. A mixed method study in which a survey was answered by parents, in addition to ten Emirati parents were interviewed in semi structured interviews to get deeper insights. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) programme was used to analyse the quantitative data, while the thematic interpretive approach was used to analyse the responses of the interviewees. Analysing the data revealed that according to the Emirati parents, the Western teachers who act as role models for their children have impacted their children positively as well as negatively. The results also demonstrated that there is a gap in the Western teachers' knowledge about the UAE culture as their Western values and cultures are completely different from those in the UAE.
