Multidisciplinary research on teaching and learning
\"Educational research encompasses different scientific cultures with different tools, practices, views, and languages, which frequently makes communication difficult. This collection indicates how research on teaching and learning from multiple scientific disciplines such as educational science, psychology, and various domain-specific instructional sciences can be successfully pursued by a co-operation between researchers and experienced school teachers. Each chapter aims at process-oriented rather than only outcome-oriented research. The contributors promote analyses from multiple perspectives and adopt different methodological approaches, ranging from field research to laboratory experiments. \"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Ecologizing Education
Ecologizing Education explores
how we can reenvision education to meet the demands of an unjust
and rapidly changing world. Going beyond \"green\" schooling
programs that aim only to shape behavior, Sean Blenkinsop and
Estella Kuchta advance a pedagogical approach that seeks to
instills eco-conscious and socially just change at the cultural
level. Ecologizing education, as this approach is called, involves
identifying and working to overcome anti-ecological features of
contemporary education. This approach, called ecologizing
education, aims to develop a classroom culture in sync with the
more-than-human world where diversity and interdependency are
intrinsic.
Blenkinsop and Kuchta illustrate this educational paradigm shift
through the real-world stories of two public elementary schools
located in British Columbia. They show that this approach to
learning starts with recognizing the environmental and social
injustices that pervade our industrialized societies. By
documenting how ecologizing education helps children create new
relationships with the natural world and move toward mutual
healing, Blenkinsop and Kuchta offer a roadmap for what may be the
most potent chance we have at meaningful change in the face of
myriad climate crises.
Timely, practical, and ultimately inspirational, Ecologizing
Education is vital reading for any parent, caregiver,
environmentalist, or educator looking for wholistic education that
places nature and the environment front and center.

Educational innovations and contemporary technologies : enhancing teaching and learning
\"Through careful selection of contemporary research, this volume demonstrates the different ways in which groups of learners as well as educators go about the complex task of innovatively designing and implementing technologies in education. The book explores a wide range of conceptual, disciplinary, methodological, national and sectoral boundaries and divides educational technologies into three key themes: specialised educational technologies; particular groups of learners; and teacher education. Current developments across Australia, Canada, Asia and the United States are all explained to illustrate the four central issues in innovation: policy and innovation; measuring innovation; sustaining innovation; and diffusing innovation. Throughout this book new understandings of the complex links between innovations and technologies are highlighted in multiple and highly varied educational settings\"-- Provided by publisher.
