Pathways to Kairos - Exploring the Ontological, Pedagogical, and Ecological Implications of Escaping the Clutches of Chronos
This article examines how clock-time, or the time of chronos, not only dominates proceedings in mainstream classrooms of industrialised societies but also contrives to help sever children from the more-than-human world. It is argued that a strict conformity and compliance to the ways of chronos demands a narrow way of being whilst also suppressing ways of knowing that can be experienced through the perspective of kairos. Kairos is a time when int…
New place-based educational initiatives in the Welsh curriculum and some legacies of the Canadian experience
In this article, we examine aspects of new placed-based educational initiatives in the Welsh curriculum, and parallels with similar Canadian initiatives. The article grew out of an email exchange between its two authors, emerging from discussions of these matters—both at the level of philosophical underpinnings, and in light of the classroom and school experiences of those participating—in the context of a Welsh graduate class. The new national c…
An exploration of how the disruption of mainstream schooling during the Covid-19 crisis provided opportunities that we can learn from so that we may improve our future relationship with the more-than-…
The COVID-19 crisis forced educators globally to reassess delivery of their curricula and educational priorities. Already the worsening climate crisis amid human beings’ deleterious relationship with the more-than-human world has caused many educators to demand radical reconsiderations as to the purpose and meaning of education. We ask: how did the disruption of mainstream schooling, during the COVID-19 crisis, provide opportunities that we can l…
Other knowings and experiencing otherness
This research study explored the experiences of children (aged 9–10 years), from four different primary schools, playing a hunting game in a nature reserve. Previous research shows that children’s play in green spaces can provide a number of benefits to children. However, there is a lack of research into children’s experiences of playing in bio-diverse environments. This study sought to find out how children (aged 9–10 years) “playing” the role o…
Enhancing Nature Connection and Positive Affect in Children through Mindful Engagement with Natural Environments
Nature connection, which describes a positive relationship between humans and the rest of nature, has been recognised as a worthwhile goal of all education. Given its association with wellbeing, as well as the fact that it can predict ecological behaviours in children, there have been several calls for it to become central to environmental education, and an important tool in tackling climate change. Previous research has reported the success of s…
Oh no, the stick keeps falling!’
It is widely accepted that play and ‘free play’ in particular, is beneficial to young children’s holistic development. However, there is a lack of evidence of the role that the natural environment can have in relation to young children’s play. This study examined the elements of ‘free play’ of children aged 4–5 years within a woodland university campus setting. The children chose to wear camera glasses which recorded both the gaze and speech of t…
Spiritual moments making music in nature. A study exploring the experiences of children making music outdoors, surrounded by nature
Outdoor learning is recognised internationally as an essential part of a child’s holistic education and children’s wellbeing can be improved when being outdoors surrounded by nature. However, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests children are becoming disconnected from nature. This study investigated the experiences of six classes of children aged 7–11 years from six primary schools making music outdoors in rural locations in Wales ov…
Sound and Performance in Public Archaeology
This paper explores a community archaeology project which took place at Tinkinswood chambered tomb and its surrounding landscape in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The project formed the school outreach element of the Tinkinswood Community Archaeology Project which included the excavation of three particular areas – two possible fallen burial chambers and the possible quarry for the 40-ton capstone used at Tinkinswood. The schools engaged in the pr…
