Lewin’s 3-Step Model for Social Change as a Framework for Assessing Equity in Course Design and Technology Integration

 

Abstract

This paper discusses the application of Lewin’s 3-step model for social change to digitally
enhanced course design. It argues that to maintain the social purpose with which it was
conceived, Lewin’s model should be applied to the teacher’s reflective practice and to integrating
technologies to deliberately address educational inequities. This paper also suggests the relative
value this model offers to guide educational change in larger institutional contexts during the
covid era.
