Feeling Dysconscious After All: A Post-Qualitative Account of Critical Consciousness Coursework

• In Event: 15.023 - But Before You Teach, Unlearn: Deconstructing Preservice Teacher Beliefs

Abstract

Our study uses post-qualitative methods to create vignettes of critical consciousness or dysconsciousness of five white, pre-service teachers (two featured here). These vignettes help us reevaluate the effectiveness of critical conscious-building pedagogy as well as our methods for assessing critical consciousness (or dysconsciousness) at a predominantly white Southern institution.
