ABSTRACT How do preservice teachers (PSTs) understand social justice within the context of education-focused study abroad programs? How might traveling across cultural borders facilitate PSTs'™ development of a social justice mindset? Drawing on previous studies and examples from an ongoing study of 6 annual, short-term study abroad programs, this article explores how PSTs reported experiences related to social justice and suggests implications for study abroad programs in teacher education. We propose that the context, curriculum, and co-curricular activities of a study abroad program have the potential to impact how PSTs conceptualize social justice and that an intentional focus on context-specific issues of social justice from a critical perspective has the potential to both broaden and deepen their conceptualizations. We suggest approaches from the programs that provided opportunities for PSTs to develop nuanced understandings of social justice in education and showed promise for preparing PSTs with global competency to serve diverse students.

出国留学背景下职前教师对社会正义的理解

摘要 在以教育为重点的留学项目的背景下，职前教师 (PST) 如何理解社会正义？跨越文化边界旅行如何促进 PSTs™ 社会正义心态的发展？本文借鉴之前的研究和正在进行的 6 个年度短期留学项目的研究实例，探讨了 PST 如何报告与社会正义相关的经验，并提出对教师教育留学项目的影响。我们建议出国留学计划的背景、课程和课外活动有可能影响 PST 如何概念化社会正义，并且从批判的角度有意关注特定背景的社会正义问题有可能拓宽和深化他们的概念。
