The Relationships between Situated Cognition and Rural Preservice Teachers' Knowledge and Understanding of Diversity.
Powell, Richard R.; Sobel, Donna; Hess, Robyn S.; Verdi, Michael
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v17 n2 p71-83 Fall 2001
A study examined the influence of situated knowledge embedded in 17 rural preservice teachers' autobiographies on their perspectives on diversity and future classroom practices. Four themes emerged in interviews: situative cognition in rural contexts; cultural groups being together but existing apart; understanding group similarities and differences; and desire to teach in a small rural school.
