Global citizenship education in a post-disaster context in Aceh, Indonesia
This article examines how student teachers in a post-disaster context make sense of global citizenship education (GCE) through a combination of Pancasila (an Indigenous philosophy derived from Sanskrit) and citizenship education (together referred to as PPKn) in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This qualitative study involved a group of final-year student teachers (6 male and 2 female) who were undertaking teaching practice as part of their teacher educ…
An examination of the interaction between discourses in a post-lesson mentoring conversation on professional experience
Post-lesson mentoring conversations on professional experience are an important aspect of embodied learning for pre-service teachers. Recent research has identified the five most common types of discursive interactions in post-lesson conversations. This study built on the recent research to examine discursive interactions in one post-lesson mentoring conversation between a pre-service teacher and a mentor in Australia. The analysis found that eva…
How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes
Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young people. Drawing on two cross‐university projects funded by the Future of UK Treescapes programme, in which chi…
Starting with trees
This paper explores learning about environments with a focus on starting with trees. The paper examines children and young people's perceptions of and engagement with trees, as part of a large grant that sought to examine the dis/benefits of trees for children's lives and learning. In this paper, we attempt to move beyond notions of ‘education for sustainability’ in that we start with knowledges generated with trees. We are concerned that current…
Perspectives on teacher standards in the mentoring process
Mentoring programmes are considered a core component of professional learning approaches for early career teachers (ECTs) as they commence in and progress through the first few years in the profession. Mentoring in the contemporary Australian context, however, is situated within a culture of high teacher standardisation, as is the case in numerous countries across the word. The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (“the Standards”), for…
The positioning tensions between early career teachers’ and mentors’ perceptions of the mentor role
Early career teacher (ECT) mentoring has never been so important with escalating levels of attrition reported in numerous countries, including Australia, the US and the UK. However, inconsistent understanding of what a mentor can or should do continues to compromise the ways in which early career teachers experience this support. While previous research has reported on mentors’ differing perspectives on their role, we take a unique approach to th…
Social and genetic diversity in first farmers of central Europe
The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) Neolithic communities were the first to spread farming across large parts of Europe. We report genome-wide data for 250 individuals: 178 individuals from whole-cemetery surveys of the Alföld Linearbankeramik Culture eastern LBK site of Polgár-Ferenci-hát, the western LBK site of Nitra Horné Krškany and the western LBK settlement and massacre site of Asparn-Schletz, as well as 48 LBK individuals from 16 other sites and …
It's a question of balance
In Australia, and internationally, mentoring is proffered as a powerful professional learning experience for both early career teachers (ECTs) and their mentors alike. However, authentically beneficial learning partnerships have proven challenging to achieve. This paper provides a theoretical and practical response to this issue, arguing the criticality of genuine conversations cultivated through balanced, non-hierarchical questioning to position…
