A REVIEW OF THE FEMINIST PEDAGOGY LITERATURE - THE NEGLECTED CHILD OFFEMINIST PSYCHOLOGY

Feminist psychologists have introduced feminist values, critiques, and methods into the science and practice of psychology. On the topic of teaching, feminist psychologists have done a thorough job of addressin g curricula issues, but they have been involved marginally in developi ng the literature on feminist pedagogy. A comprehensive review of the feminist pedagogy literature was compiled based on a review of 60 arti cles, 25 chapters from books, 10 books, and 4 bibliographies. The revi ew covers major aspects of the legacy of patriarchy in schools as well as feminist transformations of traditional educational practice. Expl anations are posed for the minimal involvement of feminist psychologis ts in the development of the feminist pedagogy literature. Reciprocal benefits are identified for both the field of psychology and the femin ist pedagogy scholars if more bridges an built between the two.
