Purpose

The Open for Antiracism program supports faculty to change their teaching practices to be antiracist through the affordances of open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy. This study aims to raise questions about how professional development impacts student outcomes, and how faculty perceive the utility of OER and open pedagogy to support antiracist teaching and learning.

Design/methodology/approach

An evaluation plan examined how faculty participants perceived the effectiveness of OER and open pedagogy to make their classes antiracist. Students compared their experiences in treated classes with those in other classes. Participating faculty completed pre- and post-surveys and a subset sat for interviews.

Findings

Faculty participants felt prepared to implement antiracist practices using OER and open pedagogy. Eighty-seven percent reported they were highly likely to recommend the program and 80% plan to continue using open pedagogy. Eighty percent of students reported they were more active or engaged than in other classes and that they examined biases of the discipline.

Originality/value

This study raises the question of how antiracist teaching approaches impact student outcomes over a longer term. Further, how can changes to teaching strategies impact institutions? Do teams of instructors offer support in ways that lead to a greater voice within an institution?

开放反种族主义：支持教育工作者使用开放教育进行反种族主义教学

目的

Open for Antiracism 计划支持教师通过提供开放教育资源 (OER) 和开放教学法来改变他们的教学实践，使其成为反种族主义者。本研究旨在提出有关专业发展如何影响学生成绩的问题，以及教师如何看待开放教育资源和开放教学法在支持反种族主义教学和学习方面的效用。

设计/方法/方法

一项评估计划检查了教师参与者如何看待 OER 和开放教学法的有效性，以使他们的班级成为反种族主义者。学生们将他们在治疗班的经历与其他班的经历进行了比较。参与的教师完成了前后调查，一部分人参加了面试。

发现

教师参与者感到准备好使用开放教育资源和开放教学法实施反种族主义做法。87% 的人表示他们极有可能推荐该项目，80% 的人计划继续使用开放式教学法。80% 的学生报告说他们比其他班级更活跃或更投入，并且他们检查了学科的偏见。

原创性/价值

这项研究提出了一个问题，即反种族主义教学方法如何长期影响学生的学习成果。此外，教学策略的变化如何影响机构？教师团队是否提供支持以在机构内产生更大的声音？
