Abstract

An academic focus on Socially Oriented Education (SOE) has been proposed to accomplish the call of the United Nations to transform educational systems due to the dynamics of contemporary society. This work aims to map the SOE-related literature, providing an overview of the 21st-century approaches to answer the questions: (i) How is SOE defined, and what other concepts are related to it? (ii) Are there any theories involved in developing SOE? (iii) What would be the different study areas that involve SOE? SOE has been used in the academic literature to refer to educational approaches that prioritize social and ethical development, civic engagement, and social justice. Now, it should expand its reach to address pressing issues such as climate change and inequality. It should also shift toward a more student-centered approach, emphasizing student agency and empowerment. SOE should prioritize promoting intercultural competence and preparing students for a globalized world. Technology can be integrated with state-owned enterprises to create innovative learning experiences. The main function of SOE is to solve current societal problems using education as a powerful tool for transformation. There is still much to learn about the effectiveness of SOE, and future research could help advance this field.
