在一个日益全球化的世界里，至关重要的是，副教授必须具备一系列与多样性和差异有关的教学知识、理解和实践。本文报告了澳大利亚一所大学的教师准备倡议的实施和学习成果，该倡议名为难民行动支持，旨在发展和提高这种意识。该倡议在识字和算术教学的重要领域为小学教师提供有针对性的培训，具体目标是使他们做好准备，在澳大利亚西悉尼的高中辅导人道主义难民学生。借鉴学术服务学习的主要原则，该计划促进了互惠学习的背景下，年轻学生在他们的学术技能和社会文化理解的发展，而同时，兼职教师获得与教学，学生和多样性的复杂动态的赞赏。
In a world increasingly globalised, it is crucial that preservice teachers are equipped with a range of pedagogical knowledges, understandings and practices related to diversity and difference. This paper reports on the implementation and learning outcomes of a teacher preparation initiative in an Australian university called Refugee Action Support, which seeks to develop and enhance such awareness. The initiative provides targeted training to preservice teachers in the vital areas of literacy and numeracy tuition, with the specific aim of preparing them to tutor humanitarian refugee students in high schools in Western Sydney, Australia. Drawing on key principles of academic service learning, the program promotes a context for reciprocal learning where young students are supported in their development of academic skills and sociocultural understandings while, simultaneously, preservice teachers gain an appreciation of the complex dynamics related to teaching, students and diversity.
