“…According to Quay (2013a) and Wickman (2006), it is difficult to estimate the impact of immediate emotional experiences on students' meaning-making processes. From the examples presented in this case study the emotional experiences were important for students' progression through the processes of meaning-making as they became complicating events (turning points) in a transformative process.…”

a department of science and mathematics Education, umeå university, umeå, sweden; b department of applied Educational sciences, umeå university, umeå, sweden ABSTRACTWith an interest in the role of emotions and values in students' meaningmaking in Environmental and Sustainability Education a case study was carried out in a Swedish school-class with students, 12 years of age. During a six-week thematic group-work focusing environmental and sustainability issues related to food, the students were observed and interviewed in their daily school practice. The results are presented here through narrative reporting, and analysed with the use of Dewey's theoretical perspectives on experience, distinguishing three phases in a process: a start, an activity phase and a closure. Martha Nussbaum's theory of emotions is used to assist in the understanding of emotions and values. The study reports on active and independent meaning-making processes in students' group work. The results provide examples of students' meaning-making experiences and the role of emotions and values in them, indicating that more of values are formed and expressed in the concluding phase.

“…These critical approaches can be said to rely on a relational understanding of the world where elements and parts interact in complex ways. Further to this, critical approaches highlighting a phenomenological understanding of the world, where experiences of 'being' and 'dwelling' are prioritized, have attempted to dispel dualisms and understand outdoor experiences in the 'natural' world (Bonnett, 2013;Payne & Wattchow, 2010;Quay, 2013;Wattchow, 2004). In these approaches, 'place' is often highlighted, with some arguing that notions of place should be considered above ecological emplacement in systems (Bonnett, 2012).…”

Becoming animate in education: immanent materiality and outdoor learning for sustainabilityDavid A. G. Clarke & Jamie Mcphie AbstractOutdoor environmental education has long postulated a link between experiences outdoors in 'natural' environments and environmental concern. This paper suggests a straightforward relationship is problematic due to its implicit assumption of a nature/ culture divide. Critical outdoor education has sought to overcome this dualism by describing a relational understanding of the world emphasizing ecological systems and highlighting humanity's 'connection' to the environment. This relational approach aims to tackle the 'crisis of perception', argued to be the root cause of anthropogenic planetary degradation. We draw from the philosophical work of Deleuze and Guattari to suggest that relational ontologies, as currently conceived, may reinforce a static conception of the world by emphasizing 'points of being' (subject and object). Deleuze and Guattari proffer immanent materiality, where points of being are dispelled by movement and 'becoming'. We then describe 'animism' as a mode of living where the world is understood to be immanent and constantly becoming. The consequences of animism are explored with regards to conceptions of 'nature', 'place' and 'outdoor' learning for sustainability. Creative practices to tackle the 'crisis of perception' are suggested as approaches that circumvent static conceptions of the world implied by points in relations and prevailing conceptions of nature as 'other'.

“…Recently, for instance, pluralistic conceptions of reality and phenomenological practices have been offered (Nicol 2014;Quay 2013) and pre-given notions of space and place contested (Hill and Brown 2014;Nakagawa and Payne 2014). The popularity of approaches to sustainability education which promote ecological literacy or systems thinking demonstrate a move away from an essentialist understanding of the environment in environmental education.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to explore what thinking with a philosophy of 'becoming' might produce in terms of conceptualising Learning for Sustainability (LfS), a recent development in Scottish educational policy. The paper posits that animism and the immanent materiality of a philosophy of becoming have important ramifications for contemporary approaches to sustainability education. 'Becoming' is described and its relationship to prevailing 'systemic' approaches to sustainability education explained. LfS is then described and conceptualised with a philosophy of becoming by examining its implications for Education for Global Citizenship and Outdoor Learning. The concepts of communication as expression; the subject undone (as haecceity); the distinction of 'nature' as 'other'; and the centrality of a storied world are discussed as important elements of LfS becoming. Lastly, teaching materials and interviews with two initial teacher educators help create a rhizomatic assemblage of teacher education practice and LfS as becoming. This assemblage creates lines of flight for considering practice, including making explicit the expressivity of communication in course descriptor/teaching/learning relationships; highlighting the place/becoming assemblages of 'indoor' and 'outdoor' learning environments; and storying the world with learners through haecceity description/experimentation.
