Justice Pedagogy: A Framework for Active Citizen Education

Abstract

This chapter will describe the Justice Pedagogy framework, based on the conceptual parallels outlined above. For each of the six features of Justice Pedagogy, this chapter will link back to Justice Citizens as an exemplar, but also comment on what that means for civics and citizenship educators. This will be presented in a framework that will be described and discussed. It will focus on these three key themes

• Emergent Learning: school–community partnerships, experiential learning

• Self-organising systems: action-oriented learning, student-led learning

• Distributed decision-making: critical literacy, advocacy for systemic change.

The chapter will finish with a discussion about the efficacy of using the Justice Pedagogy framework in schools.
