The Impact of Selected Personality Skills on Intercultural Interaction and Communication of Students of Social Pedagogy in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper focuses on the issue of intercultural competencies of university students who are preparing to work in assisting professions. In recent years, the Czech Republic has become a significant destination for many people from different cultural environments, and there is a growing need for workers in assisting professions to be able to respond flexibly and adequately to the changing living conditions of multicultural coexistence. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the preparedness of students in assisting professions for intercultural competencies. Intercultural competences include several essential skills for working successfully with diversity. Taking into account the primary objective of this research, a pilot study was conducted among students of Social Pedagogy at the Faculty of Humanities at Tomas Bata University in Zlín in the academic year 2017/2018. The research sample consisted of 116 students. To obtain the data, we used the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI) by Kelley and Meyers. The inventory maps strengths and weaknesses in 4 skill areas: Emotional Resilience, Flexibility / Openness, Perceptual Acuity and Personal Autonomy. This inventory also examines individual ability to succeed in intercultural interaction and communication. The results obtained from the survey were statistically processed and analyzed using the relevant statistical methods. The results of the survey point to the fact that students of Social Pedagogy achieve average to below average results in individual skill areas. At the same time, significant differences have been detected among the students with work experience in a multicultural environment and those with no experience.
