Marginalized, Pedagogy, International, Teens, Adults

This is an international literature review of seven studies in which marginalized adults and teens were taught. Ten Elements of Effective Pedagogy (EEP) emerged. The degree to which each study identified, applied, and/or succeeded at the EEPs for marginalized populations is outlined and summarized.

My research question is: “What elements of effective pedagogy are included in seven studies in which marginalized populations are taught?” Goal 4 of The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” (2015). The assessment of progress toward that goal on the website is that it was already too slow before the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 200 million students still expected to be out of school by 2030. Considering the marginalizing effects of illiteracy, a search for solutions seems appropriate.
