    The document summarizes the key principles of social reconstructionism in education. Social reconstructionism aims to critically examine and reform institutions in order to address social problems and work towards creating a just democratic society. The purpose of schooling within this framework is to teach students to question the status quo and work as agents of social change. Curricula would emphasize civic education and real-world problem solving while instructional methods focus on active and community-based learning. Assessment would oppose standardized testing and the classroom environment would promote analysis of social issues.
