Advancing social justice as a part of educational leadership development

Abstract

We discuss beneficial uses of imaging technologies in higher education that advance social justice. Misuse and ineffectiveness of shared decision making, specifically as related to power relationships and the redistribution of decisionmaking authority, are addressed through the development of technologically delivered experiential simulations (ES). We outline ways in which ES can change higher education preparation programs to meet and adapt to the challenges of the future. ES entails using computer technology to modify a person's appearance and thereby evoking an atypical response from an audience. The key to our proposal, however, is having the person with the modified persona learn lessons pertinent to democratic cultures and social justice from their experience of immersion in that response.

Simulaciones de Liderazgo Escolar: Una Visión Panorámica de sus Publicaciones y Evolución

“…Luego siguen las simulaciones que buscan mejorar la percepción de la autoeficacia (N=11; 23 %), tanto en relación a liderar comunidades de aprendizaje profesional (Gilbert et al, 2018;Voelkel et al, 2016), o que buscan mejorar la percepción de la autoeficacia en el manejo del derecho escolar y las normas legales que rigen a las escuelas (Gilbert, 2017a(Gilbert, , 2017bStorey y Cox, 2015), en la promoción de la justicia social (Brunner et al, 2002), del liderazgo colaborativo (Howard et al, 2014), y la autoeficacia en habilidades de relaciones interpersonales (Ata, 2018;Voelkel et al, 2016).…”

Cycles of Fear

“…In addition, computer-mediated communication has the potential to expand the participant base, increase open participation, and enhance the robustness of discussions (Burnett & Buerkle, 2004; Flanagin, Tityaamornwong, O’Connnor, & Seibold, 2002; Online Identity, 2006). Ultimately, a specific virtual delivery system and research tool (Brunner, Hitchon, & Brown, 2002) provided the setting for this safe, secure study. 6…”

“… 6. Experiential simulations is a safe research process designed by Brunner et al (2002) to provide comprehensive anonymity for participants. The technologically delivered safe-virtual laboratory allowed participants to interact anonymously with each other and the researchers through the use of three technology tools that were altered to maintain identity nondisclosure.…”
