Bridging the divide
Doctoral education has undergone various transformations in recent decades to align with global shifts toward educational inclusivity, equity, and quality. However, western ways of thinking remain privileged, and doctoral students from non-western backgrounds must navigate the intercultural contact zone between their cultural knowledges and dominant western conceptualisations. Undertaking transcultural doctoral work to embrace diverse knowledges …
Between flood vulnerability and watery pedagogies
This critical review explores how child and youth voices have been largely overlooked or “submerged” within existing scholarly literature on floods and education. It considers whether children’s experiences might be recuperated or recovered by including intersectional, decolonial, place-based and child-centred approaches to understanding the confluence of education and climate-induced disasters. We engage a political ecology framework to review l…
Reshaping teaching in higher education through a mandala of creative pedagogies
Enhancing creativity skills and dispositions is one of the many student capabilities academics in higher education are required to promote. Although there are several issues that can hamper academics’ engagement with creativity including demands of performance indicators and limited freedom to experiment with teaching. In this article, we consider the findings from a research project with a group of tertiary academics who explored the complexitie…
Climate change education implementation
Climate change (CC) is the most significant global issue facing humanity, yet research addressing the perspectives of the key players influential in developing and implementing school-based climate change curricula at a cross-country national level is scarce. This study examined the perceptions of educators and educational leaders active in climate change education (CCE) in relation to: CC knowledge, representation in the curriculum, content and …
A cross-country comparison of climate change in middle school science and geography curricula
The challenge of climate change means that school education is more important than ever in preparing young people for an uncertain future. The focus of this research is climate change education and its status in the compulsory middle school years (approximately years 7–10) across six countries (Australia, Israel, Finland, Indonesia, Canada and England). The authors investigated formal published national curriculum documents, specifically science …
Resonances
Drawing on posthumanist and new materialism theorising, we take the concept of resonance for an a/r/tographic ‘walk’ to know, be and do differently, to challenge human-centric separatist ways that have resulted in our current socioecological crises. Beginning with Ingold’s knotty thinking, we identify the notion of resonance as a node for exploring and thinking about interactions in the world. Guided by Barad’s proposition of entangling ethico-on…
Mapping-making philosophy in environmental education
What do walking, weaving, observing, singing, storytelling, drawing and writing have in common? The answer is that they all proceed along lines of
Child-framed video research methodologies
Video-based research methodologies in educational settings have been associated with the perceived user-friendliness of the technology for children, teachers and researchers. Video is considered an appropriate way of capturing the pedagogical complexity of classrooms, and a supportive medium for encouraging children to participate in research activity. In this paper, we present a research methodology that was applied to investigate the relationsh…
