- W152392543 abstract "Introduction As population of United States becomes more diverse, (Banks, 2006; Irvine, 2003) both challenges and opportunities are created for educational system. The gap that currently exists between predominantly White, middle class, female teaching workforce and an increasingly heterogeneous population of students is one of key factors that shapes these challenges. In an attempt to address this gap and better serve needs of all children, Banks (2006) has advocated that every level of education should be substantially reformed and educators must acquire new knowledge and skills (p. xvii). The efforts of teacher education programs in this endeavor are critical to any hope for successful change. It stands to reason, however, that if majority of teacher educators come from positions within teaching, then they are likely to be more similar to those currently entering teaching workforce than to students occupying seats in classrooms (Melnick & Zeichner, 1998). With this in mind, it is imperative for doctoral programs in education to follow lead of multicultural teacher education literature and help future teacher educators cultivate strategies and habits of mind necessary for preparing culturally responsive teachers. The research reported here examines experiences of students in doctoral seminar in critical pedagogy that attempts to foster multicultural knowledge and dispositions by providing future teacher educators with opportunities to examine their sociocultural identities while critically exploring current system of education in United States. Specifically, focus is to understand impact course had on participants' personal and professional beliefs and practices. Additionally, researchers were interested in features of seminar that explained its impact on participants. Insights from study have implications for transforming teacher educators and are therefore relevant to successful multicultural teacher education. Literature Review For close to two decades educational scholars have called for changes in teacher education programs to prepare for increasingly diverse student population in America's schools (Banks, 2006; Ladson-Billings, 2000; Villegas & Lucas, 2002). As result, significant body of literature has accumulated to support development of culturally relevant pedagogy for future and practicing teachers. As backdrop for this paper, we provide brief synthesis of teacher education literature on strategies for developing sociocultural awareness. In addition, we review limited literature that addresses role of teacher educators in preparing preservice teachers to work with diverse students. We situate literature and our research within framework of Mezirow's (2000) theory of adult transformative learning. Influenced by concepts of paradigm (Kuhn, 1962), constructed consciousness, conscientization (Freire, 1970), hegemony (Gramsci, 1971), and Habermas's (1984) notions of role of discourse and reflection in learning and examining assumptions, Mezirow (2000) has written extensively on concept of transformative learning which he defines as the process by which we transform our taken-for-granted frames of reference (p. 6). He asserts that transformation takes place through process of critical reflection that is facilitated by open dialogue in safe setting. In conjunction with this reflection and dialogue, Transformation Theory's focus is on how we learn to negotiate and act on our own purposes, values, feelings, and meanings rather than those we have uncritically assimilated from others (Mezirow, 2000, p. 8). This addition of individual agency in transformative learning is critical as Paprock (1992) writes that, a mindful transformative learning experience requires that learner make an informed and reflective decision to act on his or her reflective insight (p. …" @default.
