Abstract

In this research, the researcher designed a community of inquiry on social media (facebook) for pre-service teachers and launched a course on educational equity and social justice. The aim of the research was to evaluate the impact of community of inquiry (COI) on pre-service teachers’ perception of social justice and equity in education. It also aimed to assess the social presence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence of pre-service teachers in COI.   The participants of this study were the pre-service teachers who are enrolled in the education departments of the Karakorum International University Gilgit Baltistan. Ten participants who showed high participation during the course were selected for an interview through purposive sampling. Teacher education institutions, teacher education, and policymakers can utilize this research to develop COI for different training programs. Future research can be conducted to develop a community of inquiry for the inclusive education curriculum of pre-service teacher education.

Keywords: Community of inquiry, Educational Equity, Pre-service teachers.
