- Abstract
This study explored the influence of residency status (outsider) and prior cross-cultural experiences on how the neighborhoods of students are perceived by future teachers. The study participants consisted of 18 graduate teacher education mentors and their 18 high school mentees. The data sources included 820 black and white photographs and 82 photo captions generated by the study participants, mentee/mentor group discussions, and the graduate students’ weekly reflective journals, bi-weekly facilitated discussions and peer debriefings. The study found that subconscious realities based on prior cross-cultural experiences (or the lack thereof) are more significant factors than residency status when making value judgment about the neighborhoods of “others.”
