Social Justice and Teacher Education: A Systematic Review of Empirical Work in the Field
Mills, Carmen; Ballantyne, Julie
Journal of Teacher Education, v67 n4 p263-276 Sep-Oct 2016
Teachers play a crucial role in promoting more equitable educational outcomes for marginalized students from low socio-economic backgrounds. Correspondingly, there is a clear warrant for preservice teacher education to work toward the development of teachers who are socially just in their beliefs and practices. This article comprises a systematic review locating empirical research at the intersection of social justice--as it is variously defined within the literature--and teacher education published in peer-reviewed journals within the last 10 years. We explore the focus, design, and findings of the research identified as a basis for recommending future research in the field. By taking stock of the current state of the field and articulating questions that remain under-researched and research approaches under-utilized, we are better placed to move beyond revisiting familiar research terrain.
