“…While personal factors around epistemology, pedagogy and politics influence individual teachers' implementation or otherwise (see Desmarchelier, 2016Desmarchelier, , 2020 for more in-depth analysis), neoliberal external pressures may have also played a role in participants' willingness to change their pedagogical practice. As Davies (2005) explains, individual survival under the influence of neoliberalism trumps the need to act for the collective good; in fact, it becomes risky to act in a way that promotes the liberal and humanist self at work.…”

“…Allen identified Indigenous ways of knowing as different to, but as equally valid as, scientific knowledge; took an approach of learning with his students using critical and constructivist base pedagogies and politically showed a concern for a broadly conceived purpose of education. (For more analysis of the personal attributes in relation to the interacting factors of epistemology, pedagogy and politics influencing implementation see Desmarchelier 2016Desmarchelier , 2020 Despite institutional, epistemological and political challenges, both Allen and Christy successfully (in their own determination) implemented classroom lessons inclusive of the CCP. In Allen's case, he was able to adapt quickly and implement the CCP in the next unit he was teaching on scientific classification systems.…”

Curriculum initiatives with intercultural educative aims are not uncommon in many schools around the world. This paper argues that these initiatives and their classroom implementation by teachers is strongly impacted on, and influenced by, the prevailing neoliberal context of schooling. The findings of a project working with teachers on implementing the Intercultural Understanding General Capability and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures Cross Curriculum Priority of the Australian Curriculum are used to demonstrate the specific ways in which neoliberalism shaped and defined teachers' work. The neoliberal elements of consumption, individual responsibility, individuals being set adrift from values, surveillance and the illusion of autonomy are used to highlight teachers' approaches to understanding and implementing the curriculum elements in their science classrooms.Teachers in the study saw the potential for enacting social justice in terms of intercultural education in their classrooms but were often hampered in their efforts by prevailing neoliberal discourses influencing their own assumptions and actions, as well as those of the schools they worked in. It is only through interrogation of how neoliberalism impacts on intercultural educative aims that openings for counterhegemonic activities can be identified.

“…Ethnoscience is a more technical term than indigenous knowledge, native science, although the term of ethnoscience is still being debated (Zidny & Eilks, 2022). However, indigenous knowledge is influential in education, where a number of countries have integrated indigenous knowledge into the school curriculum, including Africa, United States, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and Canada (Aikenhead & Michell in (Desmarchelier, 2020)). Including indigenous knowledge in the science curriculum is not wrong, because the Indigenous ways of living in nature, has its own culture and it's a theory-laden (Handayani, Wilujeng, & Prasetyo, 2018).…”

Ethnoscience is a learning approach related the actual knowledge of the community to scientific knowledge. This article aims to analyze the study of ethnosciences and their integration with science learning for the last five years published in journals indexed by SCOPUS and SINTA This is qualitative research using a literature review of 20 articles selected based on the paper classification form (PCF). Ethnoscience Learning can be related with culture and local wisdom to the local environment. The results of the paper classification form for research in the field of science, physics, chemistry, and biology. Analysis results show that ethnoscience learning can be integrated with other learning approaches and models, such as contextual, collaborative learning, context-based learning, direct instruction, problem-based learning, and project-based learning. Based on this study, the application of ethnoscience learning can train, improve, and provide a positive effect on competencies in the 21st century, such as critical thinking, creativity, generic science skill, concepts understanding, character, chemical literacy, and scientific literacy
