Abstract

Addressing the educational needs of racially diverse math learners is crucial for all students. Educators must continually engage in dismantling racial injustice. Research highlights dehumanizing teaching practices towards racially marginalized students. Thus, preparing preservice teachers (PSTs) to recognize and acknowledge these practices and explore rehumanization becomes vital. This qualitative dual case study aimed to investigate PSTs' perceptions of Rehumanizing Mathematics (RM) during clinical field experiences with cooperating teachers. The study's primary question was: How do PSTs perceive RM through observing their CTs?
