Abstract

With the advent of a relatively newly recognized social phenomenon, human trafficking, there are dozens of agencies providing awareness and training materials on the subject. Many of these materials are available online through these agencies and are free to use. However, little is known about the effectiveness of these training and public-awareness materials, their pedagogical application, or if knowledge about human trafficking is increased because of these media. This study conducted a systematic review of publically available online human-trafficking training and public-awareness videos using Bloom’s (1956) pedagogical framework to assess the potential for knowledge transference. Findings from this study suggest that most of the videos did not appear to use Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning to convey knowledge, and as such the potential for knowledge transference is statistically significant. Authors provide potential practice and research implications. © 2016, © 2016 Taylor & Francis.
