Reflexive Approaches to Development Education: "Knowledge Based Advocacy"

Son C. Gyoh

2011
EADI

Abstract: This paper relates to current concerns in Development Education (DE) around the nature of public understanding and engagement with global justice issues in the UK, beyond the increase in public awareness. It relates enthusiasm and activism to the (revision of) prevailing worldview of the learner and examines approaches and processes to knowledge and learning that enable the active involvement of the learner in both processes. The paper has its origins in a doctorate thesis in which I apply Social Learning theories in building a conceptual link between formal educational approaches to DE and NGDO advocacy as a practice domain for Social Learning. It develops a concept of knowledge based advocacy framed on nongovernmental development organisation (NGDO) advocacy activity as domains for generating new knowledge, a space for making meaning and building alliances for social action.
