Abstract

This research explores enhancing equity and inclusion in teacher training through integrating social justice education into microteaching. Using a quantitative approach, prospective teachers were divided into experimental and control groups to compare outcomes. Results show significant improvements in equity and inclusiveness among trainees who received social justice education. Teacher training models and readiness also impact this integration. Integrating social justice education in microteaching is deemed practical for fostering inclusive teaching practices, emphasizing the need for its widespread integration in training curricula. Additionally, attention to teacher readiness is crucial for effective implementation. This study contributes significantly to advancing inclusive teaching practices. © 2024, Adam Marszalek Publishing House. All rights reserved.
