“…This means focusing not only on towards global futures. Creating environments for this kind of learning implies designing spaces in which students and educators are encouraged to be present as human beings and join in holistic learning experiences [8,9] with co-owned objectives, shared meanings, and a joint, self-determined plan of action [9] between teacher and learner.…”

The Use of Reflective Pedagogies in Sustainability Leadership Education—A Case Study

2020

This study aims to examine the use of reflective pedagogies in sustainability leadership education by investigating two specific pedagogical tools—the Portfolio and Pod—employed by the Master’s in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability (MSLS) program at Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden. The study analyzed data gathered from student surveys, teacher interviews, and staff reflections to determine the benefits and challenges faced by students and staff in implementing and engaging with these pedagogical tools. Benefits include the provision of distinct structures to guide student reflection towards individual skill development and the use of collective reflection to encourage generative dialogue between students and staff. This holds benefits for collaboration, self-awareness, understanding of multiple perspectives, and creating self-directed graduates. Staff and students also, however, suggest a number of challenges. These include the ‘constrictive’ nature of guided reflection and the emotional and mental load faced by staff in hosting and holding students through often challenging personal reflective processes. For the potential of reflective pedagogies to be truly realized for Education for Sustainable Development in higher education institutions need to develop an understanding of the impacts that reflective pedagogies have on students and teachers and create institutional structures to support them.

“…Bodinet asserts,Focusing on an educational paradigm rooted in critical pedagogy, the Socratic method, futures studies, and peace education, this essay takes the position that classrooms of the future should be transformed into safe harbours where students are afforded the opportunity to explore, deconstruct and share knowledge of themselves, their experiences, and the world in which they live.

PurposeThe study explored the impact of the King and Queen of Mathematics Initiative (KQMI) in promoting students’ interest in learning mathematics and improving their achievement. The specific objectives of the study focused on the impact of the initiative in promoting interest in mathematics, assessing the contribution of the initiative to students’ achievements and investigating challenges encountered by the initiative.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a case study design with a mixed-method approach. One ward secondary school was involved. The sample size was N = 79, where 77 were grade three students in a science class and two teachers. Data collection involved documentary review, observation and interviews. Data analysis employed both content analysis and a dependent t-test to determine the effect size of the initiative.FindingsThe findings revealed that KQMI had a significant impact on improving performance in mathematics among students (t (71) = −7.917, p < 0.05). The study also showed that male students improved their performance more than their counterparts throughout the KQMI. The mathematics teacher revealed that students still need assistance to solve mathematical questions with different techniques to develop the expected competencies.Research limitations/implicationsThe initiative was conducted only in one school, limiting the findings’ generalization. Also, the innovation faced different challenges, such as accessing adequate resources and students with little knowledge of mathematics, which the initiative aimed to address.Practical implicationsPedagogical innovations enhance the promotion of students’ interest in learning mathematics and hence improve their performance. Also, through pedagogical innovations, teachers improve their teaching skills and practices from students’ feedback.Originality/valueThe KQMI is a new pedagogical innovation modified from the existing innovations such as game-based method, task design, mobile learning and mathematics island.

“…The time-honored teaching method, the lecture, needs to disappear immediately (Bajak, 2014;Cederquist & Golüke, 2016). This method must morph into a hotbed of discussion, enthusiasm, and significant engagement (Barzilai & Blau, 2014;Bodinet, 2016;Kim et al, 2009). Learning is a human game.…”

The article situates the challenges that higher education faces before the onset of COVID-19. A future that situates disruptive and immediate transformation for higher education curricula is described to save global universities from the ravages of the "stay-at-home" policies. The move to a totally online environment took place overnight, and most institutions of higher education were totally unprepared. Yet, a future of possibilities could be adopted in the coming five years, one, in particular, being game-based learning, an andragogy based upon experiential education. "Four thousand volumes of metaphysics will not teach us what the soul [spirit] is." Voltaire
