This project investigates the challenges posed by cultural diversity in multicultural schools. It will focus specifically on students from Arabic-speaking background (ASB) attending secondary schools in the Northern and Western regions of Melbourne. The study will assess whether individual students' attitudes and the schools' structures and pedagogical ideology impact upon ASB students' achievements. In using focus group discussions and attitudinal surveys, the study will also test the cultural appropriateness of such methodological procedures. The study's proposed multi-dimensional model will be tested in order to determine the optimal social environments and inter-ethnic relations needed to successfully fulfil the potential of multicultural education.

该项目调查多文化学校中文化多样性所带来的挑战。它将特别关注墨尔本北部和西部地区中学的阿拉伯语背景(ASB)学生。这项研究将评估个别学生的态度、学校的结构和教学理念是否会影响ASB学生的成绩。在使用焦点小组讨论和态度调查时，这项研究还将测试这种方法程序的文化适当性。将对该研究提出的多层面模式进行测试，以确定成功发挥多元文化教育潜力所需的最佳社会环境和族裔间关系。
