Abstract | This chapter examines the influence of an international immersion program in Solomon Islands on Australian pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) notions of global equity and justice. Mezirow’s (Transformative dimensions of adult learning. Jossey-Bass, San Francisco, 1991) Transformative Learning Theory was utilised to investigate changes in PSTs’ sense of equity and justice through reflections written immediately post-experience and a focus-group interview 12-months later. Thematic analysis enabling comparison between data sets indicated the program’s transformative and lasting program influences on PSTs’ social justice understandings, actions and intentions. Findings highlight the potential of such programs to develop attitudes, intentions and capabilities for a socially just form of global citizenship amongst PSTs. |
