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. Phase one analyzed a one-group pretest-posttest survey of student teachers before and at the end of their first year in an online bachelors degree completion program. Phase two included a case study analysis of course discussions and related content.
