“…Transdisciplinary researchers play an important role in meeting the demands of equitable research and embedding methods that support mutual learning prospects that empower researchers and collaborators alike to transcend and assume a dedication to shared knowledge (Winschiers-Theophilus et al, 2012). Recognition that the act of research and knowledge creation itself has impact is essential to avert parachute science, manipulation, and other untrustworthy research practices, where benefit distribution is not deliberated (Maasz et al, 2018).…”

This paper interrogates the concept of transdisciplinarity, both theoretically and practically, from a perspective of early career researchers (ECRs) in transformative ocean governance research. Aiming to advance research methodologies for future complex sustainability challenges, the paper seeks to illuminate some common uncertainties and challenges surrounding transdisciplinarity from a marine science perspective. Following a literature review on transdisciplinary research, workshops, and a series of surveys, we determine that transdisciplinarity appears to be a concept in search of definition, and that there is a need to explore transdisciplinarity specifically from an ocean research perspective. The paper discusses a number of challenges experienced by ECRs in conducting transdisciplinary research and provides recommendations for both ECRs wishing to undertake more equitable transdisciplinary research and for the UN Decade for Ocean Science to support ECRs in this endeavour (Figure 1). Based on our findings, we interrogate the role of non-academic collaborators in transdisciplinary research and argue that future transdisciplinarity will need to address power imbalances in existing research methods to achieve knowledge co-production, as opposed to knowledge integration.

“…These formats could align with cultures that learn from stories and with the ideas of digital storytelling (Robin 2006). There is also an alignment with both the learning involved in citizen science (Kullenberg & Kasperowski 2016) and the preservation and transmission of indigenous knowledge (Maasz et al 2018).…”

Reimagining Digital Learning for Sustainable Development

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Communities of professionals work in a world saturated with information and subject to constant change. They need reliable training, updating and education. This may be based on established, stable and authoritative sources, or they may have to develop it themselves as situations and circumstances evolve. They may learn with conventional educational and training technologies, but most people are familiar with a range of popular social media. This chapter explains how the familiarity with games, their rules and formats, can be incorporated and aligned with other innovative and emerging informal digital learning techniques and implemented on free and familiar systems in order to enable sustainable, flexible, responsive and collaborative digital learning communities.

“…Based on principles of participatory design and action research within a research through design methodology, methods and techniques are adapted within an African epistemology characterized by a quest for justice, truth, and harmony [1] focused on knowledge creation for improvement of human relations [38]. Of significance is, that community research collaborators are not participants or subjects but are codesigners [19]. Considering the differences of expertise, mutual learning throughout the process becomes essential.…”

“…Equally, Alessandro and colleagues [29] have used technology as cultural probes to engage indigenous communities into a dialogue around cultural practices and possible digitization, expanding the engagement into joint coding on country activities [28]. Thus a CBCD approach focuses on enabling communities to learn the necessary skills to design technologies that will ensure digitization in their own terms [19]. This includes taking informed decisions as to the choice of technologies.…”

Indigenous people (IP) living in remote areas, at the margins of mainstream society, are often the last ones to experience emerging technologies and even less to shape those experiences. It could be argued technology exposure and experience is necessary for IP to gain agency in making informed decisions on the rejection or appropriation of novel technologies. In this paper, VR is introduced to a remote San community within a broader community-based research collaboration considering political and ethical perspectives of technology inclusion. The intent was to familiarise the community with the technology through the development and playthrough of a game, to explore future opportunities for joint co-designs of VR applications, meanwhile gauging the barriers for how VR operates outside of its intended setting. The community members expressed their excitement about the experience and the desire to re-create traditional San games in VR. The paper reflects on the community experiences, the setup and use of VR in remote settings, and the choices made to facilitate the familiarization of emerging technology.
