In the global age, where social, economic, scientific and technological developments accelerate, the relationship and constant interaction of different cultures with each other has also increased. As a result of these developments, the importance of respect and tolerance for differences becomes more important. Reflecting the differences in the educational environment and meeting them with respect and tolerance can be achieved through multicultural education. From this perspective, the importance of this subject and the number of studies on this subject are increasing. One of the most important benefits of postgraduate studies to the literature is that it presents solutions to researchers by presenting current developments, practices or deficiencies.
