Most college majors have a required course in research methods that teach critical skills in reading and interpreting research in the field. Students often fear these classes or see them as irrelevant to their future work, and instructors have often not been trained in effective pedagogies to engage and motivate students, particularly those from marginalized communities. Social Justice Pedagogy Plus is a model for blending critical theories, democratic and inclusive strategies, stereotype threat and other academic success techniques to create a welcoming and inclusive classroom that focuses on student success and even encourages students to consider graduate education. The book blends literature reviews in many areas of student success with practical and concrete reflections and activities to transform the undergraduate research methods course, but has application to other types of college courses as well. Any course that critically examines research in any health or social sciences field may benefit from this model.
