Abstract:
Higher education can be a powerful tool for advancing social justice. As online programs expand it is imperative that we understand the potential impact of coursework on students attitudes towards advancing equity and how to increase the potential for positive change in this area.This mixed-methods study examines the impact of online asynchronous coursework designed with the Community of Inquiry Framework (CoI) on early childhood student teachers beliefs, dispositions, and self-efficacy toward advancing social justice. Findings suggest student self-efficacy and beliefs about social justice shifted over the year. Analysis revealed the role of critical transformative learning practices in supporting student growth.
