Save the Bees and Save Ourselves: Young People’s Cli-Fi as Normative Myths of the Future
We co-designed a bee sequence with a specialist primary science teacher at an Australian government school. Year 6 students learned about European honeybees and Australian native bees, including through Cli-Fi. In this paper, we explore the pedagogical power of providing students with opportunities to create Cli-Fi about bee futures in the Anthropocene. We present and thematically analyse examples of students’ bee Cli-Fi to argue that they genera…

Real possibilities: Innovative and Responsive Curriculum Enactment Enabling Impactful Inquiry in Primary Science
The goal of the Beyond 2000 report (Millar & Osborne, 1998) to prepare young people for uncertain futures is arguably more crucial than ever. Current educational policies and curricula emphasise STEAM, twenty-first-century skills, and citizenship perspectives for solution generation to address global challenges. However, generative enactment in primary science requires ongoing attention, which is the focus of this paper. Conducted during the COVI…
Eco-anxiety and a Desire for Hope: A Composite Article on the Impacts of Climate Change in Environmental Education
Responding to increasing concerns regarding human-induced climate change and shared commitment as environmental educators to support climate action, we crafted this article as a composite piece — an emerging method of inquiry. We are eleven contributors: the Editorial Executive of the Australian Journal of Environmental Education and two colleagues who each respond to prompts concerning our experience of climate change and our practices of climat…
Learning to Live-with Climate Change through Film: The Arche-Cinema of Gummo as Climating and Becoming-Climate
I am a cinematic being of the Anthropocene. As a concerned citizen and environmental educator, I immerse myself in film. Gummo is a 1997 film by Harmony Korine that deeply resonates with me as a testament to the capacity and desire for humanity to realise the potential to rise from the epochal fall of the Anthropocene. I propose that my relationship with Gummo as arche-cinema is not just a process of watching and interpreting Korine’s cinematic w…
Science education in the Anthropocene: The aesthetics of climate change education in an epoch of uncertainty
We have a responsibility as science educators to work with young people to enact education that enables collective rebalancing of relationships between humans and more-than-humans that are disturbed by human-induced climate change. However, to date, climate change education has not been prioritized in school science at a policy, curricula, classroom and community level, due to an aesthetic which does not sufficiently value climate science or reco…
Using Systems Maps to Visualize Chemistry Processes: Practitioner and Student Insights
Discussing socio-scientific issues in a secondary chemistry classroom poses a challenge to traditional classroom practice because students and teachers need to think more broadly about chemical processes. Allowing students to create open-ended maps to generate and represent their understanding of socio-scientific issues while also learning chemistry theory can develop Systems Thinking capacity in students. This manuscript presents three vignettes…
The role of aesthetics in the teaching and learning of data modelling
Reporting on a Grade 4 teaching and learning sequence, we highlight foundational constructs of measurement and data modelling which are fundamental to competence development in both science and mathematics. The sequence involved students generating and representing measures of their teacher’s arm-span, with a focus on the invention and refinement of data representations characteristic of STEM epistemic practices. We undertook a micro-ethnographic…
Addressing methodological challenges in research on aesthetic dimensions to classroom science inquiry
There has been longstanding interest in students’ aesthetic feelings in engaging with school science, but new multimodal accounts of meaning-making, and changing curricular goals where science is integrated with other subjects, pose new methodological challenges for researching these feelings. In this paper, we aim to synthesise relevant literature as the bases for proposing methodological practices to address these new research challenges. We dr…
The role of aesthetics in learning science in an art-science lesson
In this paper, we analyse results from one classroom session within an 8-week program in which Year 10 students constructed ‘trash’ puppets of endangered Australian animals. In making the puppets and using them as part of a ‘theatre in a suitcase’ performance at Melbourne Zoo, students were expected to integrate both scientific and artistic goals to demonstrate knowledge of specific endangered species. In this process, students needed to learn ho…
School strikers enacting politics for climate justice: Daring to think differently about education
Two school strikers − Niamh and Harriet − come together with two environmental education academics − Peta and Joseph − to explore what it means to be young people enacting politics for the environment in Australia, and what this might mean for re-imagining education. Niamh and Harriet are leaders of, and were integral to initiating, the highly effective School Strike 4 Climate − Australia (SS4C) movement, enacting ‘principled disobedience’. Peta …
Exploring opportunities to incorporate systems thinking into secondary and tertiary chemistry education through practitioner perspectives
Recently, the chemistry education community has focused considerable effort on incorporating systems thinking into chemistry education as a means to address global challenges such as sustainability. In this project, a series of exploratory workshops was held with secondary educators (N = 12) and tertiary educators and researchers (N = 16), introducing the participants to systems thinking in chemistry education (STICE). Following the workshops, sm…
Revisiting Peirce’s account of scientific creativity to inform classroom practice
Peirce made repeated attempts to clarify what he understood as abduction or creative reasoning in scientific discoveries. In this article, we draw on past and recent scholarship on Peirce’s later accounts of abduction to put a case for how teachers can apply his ideas productively to elicit and guide student creative reasoning in the science classroom. We focus on (a) his rationale for abduction, (b) conditions he recognised as necessary to suppo…
Students are not inferential-misfits: Naturalising logic in the science classroom
Currently, there is a focus in science education on preparing students for lives as innovative and resilient citizens of the twenty-first century. Key to this is providing students with opportunities, mainly through inquiry processes, for discovery making and developing their creative reasoning by bringing school science closer to authentic science. I propose, building on the work of Woods, Magnani and the authors of a 2005 special issue of Educa…

Japanese-Russian Relations, 1907-2007: 1907-2007
This book provides a comprehensive survey of Japanese-Russian relations from the end of the Russo-Japanese War until the present. Based on extensive original research in both Japanese and Russian sources, it traces the development of relations from the tumultuous pre-war period, through the Second World War, Cold War and post-Cold War periods. Considering the wider international situation, domestic influences and ideological factors throughout, i…
