Democracy and social justice education in the information age[electronic resource] /by Angelo J. Letizia. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xvi, 222 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Citizenship in the Information Age -- Chapter 2: Locate-Evaluate-Activate -- Chapter 3: Dialogue for Democracy -- Chapter 4: STEM and Democracy -- Chapter 5: Discourse for Democracy -- Chapter 6: Meaningful Democracy -- Chapter 7: Justice for Democracy -- Chapter 8: Leadership in a Democracy -- Chapter 9: Writing for Democracy -- Chapter 10: The Wider Picture.

This book presents educators with research-based strategies to promote civic education in their classrooms. Going beyond theory and measures of achievement, these methods focus on information location, evaluation and activation, dialogue in the classroom, understandings of discourse in popular culture and policymaking, and understanding the role of STEM disciplines in democracy. The author also furthers considerations of how the political process can provide meaning and new visions of justice in a globalized world, and advance student leadership and academic writing in the information age. As the world faces unprecedented levels of poverty, wealth disparity, environmental destruction, and ethical questions regarding biotechnology, the United States needs knowledgeable citizens to effectively deal with these issues. Letizia provides teachers and teacher educators with the needed methods to foster these types of democratic considerations.
