Empathy, Teaching Dispositions, Social Justice and Teacher Education
Bullough, Robert V.
Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, v25 n5 p507-522 2019
Considerable attention over the past several years has been given to empathy as a desirable teacher disposition. Situating empathy in a slice of the research on dispositions, the author identifies and explores several problems surrounding empathy related to expectations, definitions, measurement, inferential accuracy, and the realization of social justice. An argument is made for listening to learn as an alternative to empathy as a teaching disposition and virtue.
