| Abstract | Education and communication researchers have not explored sufficiently teacher credibility or the classroom communication and experiences of teachers and professors of color, in particular, teachers and professors belonging to subordinate minority groups. As a result, there are gaps in the literature due to its incomplete status. Qualitative case studies of six professors, three Black and three White, are used to examine the relationship of race and student perceptions of credibility. The findings from interviews with 28 undergraduate students, enrolled in one of 6 courses, indicate that the classroom presents particular challenges for Black professors teaching at a predominantly White post-secondary institution. The findings from these student participants suggest that: (1) the Black professors are held to more stringent credibility standards than White professors; (2) that the challenges to credibility are exacerbated when Black professors teach subject matter that cannot be directly connected with their race; (3) that students possess favorable/fair attitudes toward Black professors once they have successfully established their credibility; and (4) that Black professors are perceived to have worked harder than White professors to earn their educational and professional status. (Contains 3 notes and 35 references; survey forms and questions are attached.) (Author/TB) |
