Cultivating Cultural Competence and Meaningful Bonds in the Virtual Classroom Using a Narrative Approach
It refers to the emotional or psychological reactions and responses that an educator may experience in response to a student's verbal or written expressions, behaviors, comments, or circumstances. It is a concept that originates from psychotherapy and counseling (Gait & Hailwood, 2019 AU64: The in-text citation "Gait & Hailwood, 2019" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ) but can also apply to the teaching and learning environment ( Sherry et al., 2021 ). In an online learning environment, countertransference might manifest when educators unconsciously projects their own unresolved issues, biases, or emotions onto a student. For example, if a student's experiences or comments trigger strong emotional reactions in the educator, such as frustration, anger, stress, sympathy, or discomfort, this could be a sign of countertransference.
