Public Pedagogy
Definition- Forms and sites of learning/education that occur outside of traditional schooling. This includes citizenship writing and beyond schools, popular culture, public spaces, dominant cultural discourses and social activism.
Apply- Public pedagogy aligns well with social work ethics of valuing community knowledge. The theory specifically states that knowledge and learning can be located outside of traditional structures. This is critical to building knowledge and power that challenge the hegemonic discourse present in dominant educational systems.
Adapt- Social Science research could adapt the idea of public pedagogy. So much social science knowledge in created in labs, which may or may not reflect the true nature of an issue due to the constraints of space, time and the institutions in which these labs function. Utilizing public spaces and non-traditional education may yield more relevant results in social science.
