Abstract

Equity-centered preparation builds novice teachers’ capacity to make meaningful instruction accessible to all students, particularly those historically excluded from high-quality learning experiences. Drawing on social learning theory, we examined Teacher Study Groups as a model for supporting preservice special educators’ development of equity-centered practices. We examined 60 preservice teachers’ instruction prior to and following study group participation, embedded in a fieldwork support course, alongside related artifacts shared during weekly sessions. Using a convergent mixed-methods approach, we analyzed quantitative and qualitative data separately and then integrated findings using joint display analysis; in doing so, we generated meta-inferences regarding how teachers’ attitudes mediated growth in practice. We uncovered salient participatory experiences that influenced—and hindered—professional growth. Our findings have implications for programs interested in structuring professional learning in a manner that builds foundations for an equity-centered practice.

发展以公平为中心的实践:保护环境下的教师研究小组
以公平为中心的备课培养了新教师的能力,使所有学生,特别是那些历史上被排除在高质量学习体验之外的学生,都能获得有意义的教学。利用社会学习理论,我们考察了教师研究小组作为支持职前特殊教育者发展以公平为中心的实践的模型。我们检查了60名职前教师在参加研究小组之前和之后的指导,嵌入在实地工作支持课程中,以及在每周会议中分享的相关文物。我们采用融合混合方法,分别分析定量和定性数据,然后使用联合显示分析将结果整合;在这样做的过程中,我们产生了关于教师的态度如何在实践中中介成长的元推论。我们发现了影响和阻碍专业成长的显著参与性经验。我们的研究结果对那些有兴趣构建以公平为中心的实践为基础的专业学习的项目具有启示意义。

期刊介绍: The mission of the Journal of Teacher Education, the flagship journal of AACTE, is to serve as a research forum for a diverse group of scholars who are invested in the preparation and continued support of teachers and who can have a significant voice in discussions and decision-making around issues of teacher education. One of the fundamental goals of the journal is the use of evidence from rigorous investigation to identify and address the increasingly complex issues confronting teacher education at the national and global levels. These issues include but are not limited to preparing teachers to effectively address the needs of marginalized youth, their families and communities; program design and impact; selection, recruitment and retention of teachers from underrepresented groups; local and national policy; accountability; and routes to certification. JTE does not publish book reviews, program evaluations or articles solely describing programs, program components, courses or personal experiences. In addition, JTE does not accept manuscripts that are solely about the development or validation of an instrument unless the use of that instrument yields data providing new insights into issues of relevance to teacher education (MSU, February 2016).
