Abstract

Ways for students to think and process subject matter content has always been in the forefront of pedagogy. While “critical thinking,” “design thinking,” and “scientific reasoning” have transcended into cross-curricular application, the need for social justice thinking – Metacognitive Social Justice – is needed as well. Using Metacognitive Social Justice to guide our pedagogy allows for true integration of social justice into any class, developing a learner that embodies an awareness of others while they learn any subject matter content.
