Abstract

The digital era is increasingly stimulating student differences in terms of culture, language, race, and background knowledge. This happens because students from various backgrounds can access the same class with the help of technology. In this context, education must be concerned with inclusivity, equality, and diversity. Culturally Responsive Teaching encourages educators, including pre-service teachers, to design learning by seeing diversity as a strength, not a barrier. Meanwhile, learning in the digital era is claimed to be able to provide a more inclusive learning experience through personalized learning. This study aims to explore culturally responsive teaching practices in online learning conducted by pre-service teachers. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research involving 265 pre-service teachers. Data was collected from the portfolio document of the pre-service teacher’s teaching implementation in the form of lesson plans, assessment documents, and self-reflection. The documents are analyzed qualitatively using the theoretical coding method. The results show that pre-service teachers use various strategies to get to know their students and build effective communication. Pre-service teachers also seek to make significant and contextual learning. However, several features of Culturally Responsive Teaching, including incorporating student culture into the curriculum and helping students question hegemony have not appeared yet.
