مستوى التعاطف العرقي لدى أساتذة كلية التربية في جامعة الكويت من وجهة نظر الطلاب المنتمين للعرقين الأفريقي وشرق الآسيوي : منظور أنثروبولوجي تربوي
This study aimed to identify the level of racial empathy among professors at the College of Education at Kuwait University, from the perspective of African and East Asian students, and to examine the impact of students' gender and race on their average responses. This study employed a descriptive correlational method, utilizing a scale with two axes: empathic behavior and expression of empathic feelings. The scale was administered to a sample of 39 male and female students of African and East Asian descent during the first semester of the academic year 2023-2024. The study found that African and East Asian students perceived professors at the College of Education to exhibit a moderate level of racial empathy overall. Professors were seen to engage in empathetic behaviors and display empathetic feelings to a moderate degree. Statistical analysis did not reveal significant differences attributed to students' gender or race in their average responses. However, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between students' perceived level of professors' racial empathy and their academic grades. The study concludes that multicultural university settings require policies and training programs aimed at enhancing professors' cultural competencies, particularly in fostering racial empathy toward students from diverse racial backgrounds.
