A quantitative research study was employed to examine the extents personal and professional beliefs about diversity were most influential in predicting multicultural teaching competence of elementary and middle-school teachers. A stratified random sample of 103 teachers in Grades 3 through 8 in a school district in the southern region of the United States were recruited and asked to complete the Personal and Professional Beliefs about Diversity Scales and Multicultural Teaching Competency Scale. Multiple regressions were used to test the study hypotheses that teachers' personal and professional beliefs about diversity and teacher demographics (i.e., age, sex, and race) predicted multicultural teaching competence. The statistical results of the model indicated that the combination of predictor variables explained 11% of the variation in the extent diversity beliefs influenced perceptions of multicultural teaching competence. The results obtained from the different categories pertaining to the items in the Personal Beliefs about Diversity Scale and the Professional Beliefs about Diversity Scale showed a high sensitivity towards cultural, linguistic, and social diversity, both personally and professionally ( M = 26.42, SD = 3.72; M = 50.94, SD = 6.87) and high sensitivity towards gender, both personally and professionally (M = 14.32, SD =1.86; M = 8.90, SD = 1.88). Based on the results of the multiple regression analyses, the null hypothesis was rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. The results of the data analysis showed professional beliefs about diversity had a higher relationship with the perception of multicultural teaching competence of elementary and middle-school teachers ( p = .04). Teacher training and updating multicultural teaching strategies and practices were recommended.
