| Abstract | Culturally responsive pedagogy and authentic teacher care are designed to help teachers improve the educational experiences and outcomes of students of color. To understand how culturally responsive pedagogy and authentic teacher care are used in the classroom, this study addressed the following research question: How do teachers use culturally responsive pedagogy and an ethic of authentic teacher care to create meaningful academic learning opportunities for students of color from historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups? Conceptualizing meaningful learning according to constructivist and sociocultural learning theories, this multi‐case study examined the classroom interactions, instructional practices, and curricula of two high school teachers and one of each teacher's classes. The data for this qualitative study included teacher interviews, classroom observations, teacher and student created documents, and focus group interviews of Black and Latino students from each class. The findings from the data revealed that the teachers' epistemology and ontology interfered with each teacher's ability to provide culturally responsive pedagogy and an ethic of authentic teacher care that equips teachers with the ability to create the type of learning environments and instructional activities students of color need to have in place in order for meaningful learning to occur. Made visible through this study are the ways culturally responsive pedagogy and authentic teacher care align with constructivist and sociocultural learning theories. This dissertation highlights the need for teachers to embed their practice in constructivism and socioculturalism that will align their practice with cultural responsiveness and teacher care. |
