Abstract
The contribution is devoted to presenting multicultural education, which reflects influence of increasing diversity at schools. Competences of a teacher in given area are considered incredibly important, especially in attitude towards Roma ethnic. Negative attitudes, difficulties in bonding within social space under the influence of globalisation trend can unfavourably affect educational process of a pedagogue, as well as an assistant for Roma community. Therefore we focused our research study to findings of semantic space of identity forming notions, and also notions, which shows bonding of observed dimensions. Participants consisting of future teachers (N=215) and future assistant teachers for Roma community (N=164) expressed to notions, namely by choosing and assigning pictures by using the method the Test of semantic selection (Doležal). Final findings showed certain similarities as well as differences in semantic space, which was attributed to observed notions by future teachers and assistant teachers for Roma community. Particularly stereotypes represented by higher rate were shown with both observed groups. Higher rate of fear from the notion Roma was shown by future teachers on contrary to future assistants of Roma community.
