Description¶

The article recommends that for race-reimaging to occur, the critical social-cultural-historical/racial theory and the educational psychology theory must be merged, viewing "every component of the original educational theory from a racial lens". The first step is engaging in race-focused readings to enhance critical consciousness. Race must be considered at all stages: critical literature, congruent research design, race-centered research questions, participant selection, data collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Merge a critical social-cultural-historical/racial theory with the traditional educational psychology theory
• Consider social-cultural-historical contexts when merging the theories
• Disseminate findings in a manner that highlights the emphasis on race

Constraints¶

• The authors acknowledge that not providing a template may have created challenges, and the field could benefit from clearer guidelines for engaging in race-reimaging

Target Learners¶

• Educational psychology researchers
• Graduate students learning culturally relevant methodologies

Target Learning Goals¶

• Reconceptualizing race-neutral constructs
• Designing race-centered studies

Affordances¶

• Race-reimaging ultimately transforms a race-less construct into a race-focused construct [+W]

Claims¶

• Race-reimaging ultimately transforms a race-less construct into a race-focused construct [+W]
