A Systematic Review of Humanising Pedagogy

Given the recent emphasis on the need for educational reform in the rapidly changing global context the researcher chose to establish the current state of knowledge and research regarding humanising pedagogy. Both national and international journal articles on qualitative and quantitative research studies, as well as unpublished reports, doctoral theses, and conference papers that were published between 1st January 2003 and 31st December 2013 were included in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the relevant research literature. The methodology used to identify, organise, synthesise, and describe the published literature employed a combined integrative and contextual focus which provided a comprehensive description, analysis, and evaluation of the present state of knowledge regarding humanising pedagogy. The study identified that no randomised, controlled or experimental studies had been conducted and only a limited number of mainly conceptual articles had been published during this period. As a result, it is recommended that further research be conducted to advance the knowledge and research profile in this field. The limitations of the study are likewise discussed briefly.
