This integrative review seeks to provide effective teaching and learning strategies for teaching about racism and advancing health equity.
Most faculty preparation remains devoid of an exploration of racism and the skills to critique how historical events and socialization create and reinforce the biases that influence how we teach and provide care. It is difficult to teach what we do not know.
Using Whittmore and Knafl's approach, we conducted an integrative review of multidisciplinary literature from 2009 to 2021 to uncover best practices for teaching about racism. Seven databases yielded 55 relevant articles from 18 disciplines.
Four themes emerged illuminating effective strategies for teaching and learning about systemic racism: encounter education, reflection, discussion, and activism.
Findings of this review align with Mezirow's transformative learning theory and highlight the importance of not just "doing" antiracist activities in a course but "becoming" an antiracist educator.
本综合性综述旨在提供关于种族主义教学及促进健康公平的有效教学策略。
大多数教师培训仍未涉及对种族主义的探讨,也缺乏批判历史事件和社会化如何塑造并强化影响我们教学与护理方式的偏见的技能。我们很难教授自己不了解的内容。
采用惠特莫尔和克纳夫的方法,我们对2009年至2021年的多学科文献进行了综合性综述,以揭示种族主义教学的最佳实践。七个数据库产生了来自18个学科的55篇相关文章。
出现了四个主题,阐明了关于系统性种族主义教学与学习的有效策略:接触教育、反思、讨论和行动主义。
本综述的结果与梅齐罗的变革性学习理论一致,并强调了不仅要在课程中“开展”反种族主义活动,更要“成为”一名反种族主义教育者的重要性。
