Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
This dissertation provides an examination of pre-service teachers’ attitudes and dispositions toward Culturally Responsive Practices (CRP), as well as reflections on their pre-service teacher education programs. The importance of this study is framed within the context of educational inequities and achievement gaps for diverse learners in K-12 schools in the United States, with the perspective that pre-service teacher education can contribute to the mitigation of these problems as a preventative and foundational measure. A special purpose survey was distributed to pre-service teachers enrolled in their final year at a large Midwestern university. The survey consisted of the Dispositions for Culturally Responsive Pedagogy scale (DCRPS; Whitaker & Valtierra, 2018), as well as questions intended to provide reflections on the culturally responsive preparation attained, as crafted from literature supported strategies. Results indicated that participants generally held very positive dispositions toward CRP and their teacher education programs. Limitations included a small sample size, as well as potential response bias, and issues with validity. Reflections, discussions, and implications for future research and actions are discussed.
