When their teachers are well equipped to foster inclusive and equitable classrooms, students from marginalized communities show higher rates of academic achievement, motivation, self-confidence, and self-efficacy. However, many teachers complete preparation programs feeling underprepared to work in culturally diverse classrooms, making high-quality professional development (PD) in this area crucial. We undertook a meta-ethnographic, systematic literature review of 40 studies of multicultural education–focused PD programs in order to better understand the forms and features of such programs that contribute to teachers’ self-efficacy and success in working with culturally diverse students. We found a small literature base with too much variation across types of programs studied and outcomes analyzed to draw conclusions about the factors that contribute to effectiveness. However, the extant literature does point to important questions and considerations for both providers and researchers of multicultural education PD. One area for future research is how PD providers navigate tensions or challenges arising from resistance to discussions of diversity and equity. Another is locating the balance between providing specific knowledge about students’ cultures and guarding against promoting stereotypes or broad generalizations. Researchers and PD developers should also pay close attention to their underlying theories related to both teacher learning and multicultural education.

多元文化教育专业发展:文献回顾

当他们的老师有能力培养包容和公平的课堂时,来自边缘社区的学生就会表现出更高的学业成绩、积极性、自信和自我效能感。然而,许多教师在完成预科课程后,觉得在多元文化的课堂上工作准备不足,这使得该领域的高质量专业发展 (PD) 变得至关重要。我们对 40 项以多元文化教育为重点的 PD 项目的研究进行了元人种学、系统的文献回顾,以更好地了解这些项目的形式和特征,这些项目有助于教师的自我效能感和与不同文化的学生一起工作的成功。我们发现一个小的文献库在研究的项目类型和结果分析之间存在太多差异,以得出关于影响有效性的因素的结论。然而,现有文献确实为多元文化教育 PD 的提供者和研究人员指出了重要的问题和考虑因素。未来研究的一个领域是 PD 提供者如何应对因拒绝讨论多样性和公平而引起的紧张或挑战。另一个是在提供有关学生文化的具体知识和防止宣传刻板印象或广泛概括之间找到平衡。研究人员和 PD 开发人员还应密切关注他们与教师学习和多元文化教育相关的基本理论。现存的文献确实为多元文化教育 PD 的提供者和研究人员指出了重要的问题和考虑因素。未来研究的一个领域是 PD 提供者如何应对因拒绝讨论多样性和公平而引起的紧张或挑战。另一个是在提供有关学生文化的具体知识和防止宣传刻板印象或广泛概括之间找到平衡。研究人员和 PD 开发人员还应密切关注他们与教师学习和多元文化教育相关的基本理论。现存的文献确实为多元文化教育 PD 的提供者和研究人员指出了重要的问题和考虑因素。未来研究的一个领域是 PD 提供者如何应对因拒绝讨论多样性和公平而引起的紧张或挑战。另一个是在提供有关学生文化的具体知识和防止宣传刻板印象或广泛概括之间找到平衡。研究人员和 PD 开发人员还应密切关注他们与教师学习和多元文化教育相关的基本理论。另一个是在提供有关学生文化的具体知识和防止宣传刻板印象或广泛概括之间找到平衡。研究人员和 PD 开发人员还应密切关注他们与教师学习和多元文化教育相关的基本理论。另一个是在提供有关学生文化的具体知识和防止宣传刻板印象或广泛概括之间找到平衡。研究人员和 PD 开发人员还应密切关注他们与教师学习和多元文化教育相关的基本理论。
