Abstract

Although decolonisation is a pressing goal for many front-line instructors, there are few pedagogical resources for how to do this in the online environment. This article provides a set of strategic approaches that can help combat dominant power dynamics in the classroom and open opportunities for transformative learning. The research draws on instructor focus groups and student surveys from the synchronous, online Master of Development Practice programme at Regis University, USA. Six pedagogical approaches are described in light of their successes and remaining challenges: building community, learning from each other and co-creating knowledge, opening spaces for participation, de-centring Western voices and epistemologies, focusing on the critical thinking, reflection and action cycle and creating connection in virtual spaces.
非殖民化发展实践教学法:同步在线课堂的前进道路和持续挑战
尽管去殖民化是许多一线教师的紧迫目标,但如何在网络环境中实现这一目标的教学资源却很少。本文提供了一套战略方法,可以帮助对抗课堂上的主导权力动态,并为变革学习打开机会。这项研究利用了美国里吉斯大学(Regis University)同步在线发展实践硕士项目的教师焦点小组和学生调查。根据他们的成功和仍然存在的挑战,描述了六种教学方法:建立社区,相互学习和共同创造知识,开放参与空间,去中心化西方的声音和认识论,关注批判性思维,反思和行动周期以及在虚拟空间中建立联系。
