The purpose of this study was to investigate attitudes of
White teachers towards multi-racial education and factors
affecting these attitudes. The original sample was to
consist of English and Afrikaans speaking White teachers
in Krugersdorp. However, the Transvaal Education
Department denied permission to conduct the stud) and the
sample was changed to one-hundred-and-forty teachers
doing post gradv.-~e work both at the University of the
Witwatersrand and Rand Afrikaans University. Since the
new sample for the study consisted of teachers enrolled
for postgraduate study, the findings of the study are
limited to similar populations. The research design usgd
was descriptive. Attitude Towards Segregation scale
adapted from Kosenbaum and Zimmerman (19u9) was
administered to both groups of teachers. Responses were
summarized by calculating the mean and standard deviation
to each item. An analysis of variance test was
administered because of the multi-variate characteristics
of the hypothesis to be tested. When sample cells hum
unequal sizes, the corrections were made by the O.L.M.
process. Also post hoc comparisons were made by the
application of Duncan's multiple range test.
