ABSTRACT

Graduate programs for inservice teachers seeking additional credentialing often include a mandatory diversity course. One aim of these types of courses is to help teachers recognize and dismantle their racial biases in hopes that this self-reflection process will enable teachers to use antiracist teaching approaches and create classroom communities where all students feel safe, respected, and justly included in the classroom. We, two practitioner-researchers, both taught separate sections of one such mandatory graduate diversity course for inservice teachers. Instructor photos revealing our race (Author 1: Black, Author 2: White) were the only differences in the fully online, asynchronous course sections. After experiencing/witnessing graduate students’ racial bias towards the Black instructor captured via informal communication posted to the ‘Ask the Instructor’ board, we investigated whether students’ racial bias would be captured in graded coursework. Using both Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) we compared students’ work samples from each course section and found that students’ racial biases were not captured. Our findings help us problematize diversity courses hinged on broad-stroke equity frameworks. Thus, we use CRT to posit course revisions aimed at helping students develop post-racist mindsets and commit to anti-racist practices.

伪装成公平:利用白人教师的种族主义交流来指导多样性课程修订

摘要

寻求额外认证的在职教师的研究生课程通常包括强制性的多元化课程。这些类型课程的一个目的是帮助教师认识和消除他们的种族偏见,希望这种自我反省过程将使教师能够使用反种族主义的教学方法,并创建课堂社区,让所有学生都感到安全、受到尊重并被公正地纳入课堂。我们,两位从业研究人员,都为在职教师教授了一门此类强制性研究生多元化课程的不同部分。揭示我们种族的教练照片(作者 1:黑人,作者 2:白人)是完全在线的异步课程部分的唯一区别。在经历/目睹研究生对黑人教师的种族偏见通过发布到“询问教师”委员会的非正式交流中捕获后,我们调查了学生的种族偏见是否会在分级课程中被捕获。使用文化历史活动理论 (CHAT) 和批判种族理论 (CRT),我们比较了每个课程部分的学生工作样本,发现没有捕捉到学生的种族偏见。我们的发现帮助我们解决了依赖于广泛公平框架的多样性课程。因此,我们使用 CRT 进行课程修订,旨在帮助学生培养后种族主义心态并致力于反种族主义实践。使用文化历史活动理论 (CHAT) 和批判种族理论 (CRT),我们比较了每个课程部分的学生工作样本,发现没有捕捉到学生的种族偏见。我们的发现帮助我们解决了依赖于广泛公平框架的多样性课程。因此,我们使用 CRT 进行课程修订,旨在帮助学生培养后种族主义心态并致力于反种族主义实践。使用文化历史活动理论 (CHAT) 和批判种族理论 (CRT),我们比较了每个课程部分的学生工作样本,发现没有捕捉到学生的种族偏见。我们的发现帮助我们解决了依赖于广泛公平框架的多样性课程。因此,我们使用 CRT 进行课程修订,旨在帮助学生培养后种族主义心态并致力于反种族主义实践。
