Most teacher candidates have shaped their identity according to a set of mainstream values and beliefs that has denigrated cultural difference.

Participants were 62 undergraduate students from Edith Cowan University. A series of 40 pictures, five to a slide, were shown by overhead projector at the rate of 20 seconds per slide. There were …
