Emerging Approaches to Educational Research: Tracing the Socio-Material
by Richard Edwards Tara Fenwick Peter SawchukThe last fifteen years have seen much conceptual and methodological innovation in research on education and learning across the lifecourse, bringing both fresh insights and new dilemmas. This innovation was initially fuelled by the growing influence of conceptual framings often named as either post-structural or postmodern. The works of Foucault, Derrida and Lyotard have variously found their way into the canons of educational research, and in more recent years, the influence of the work of Deleuze and Guattari has also grown. This work has proved controversial both in the challenges it has raised for the purposes and practices of education and training but also over the assumptions underpinning such work. As part of and also in response to the influence of post-structuralism and postmodernism in the social sciences, there have emerged and developed a further range of conceptual and methodological framings which are more relational, system and practice-focussed. Several of these framings work with a non-linear understanding of causality and embrace unpredictability in the world and undecidability in our understanding of it. They also challenge any notion of a strong boundary between the social and natural sciences. This book explores the most significant four of these framings, how they are being taken up in research in education and learning across the lifecourse, as well as their possibilities and limitations: complexity science cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) actor-network theory (ANT) spatiality theories. Illustrated throughout with examples drawn from educational contexts across the life courses, including schooling, post-compulsory education and training, educational policy, workplace and community-based education in North America, the UK, and Australia this vital guide to understanding fresh ways of conducting and understanding educational research will prove essential reading for everyone undertaking educational research in the modern world.
Emerging Biology in the Early Years: How Young Children Learn About the Living World
by Sue Dale TunnicliffeThis inspiring text celebrates young children as 'emergent biologists' and explains how their natural inquisitiveness and curiosity can be harnessed to increase early understanding of scientific concepts, and so lay the foundations for future learning about the living world.

Emerging Geosustainability Transformations in India (Advances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences)
by Subhash Anand Virendra Nagarale Rajesh Kumar AbhayThis book presents the emerging sustainability concerns for India to achieve holistic development. India is densely populated with scattered natural resources and is engaged in developing technology and its infrastructure. However, India’s sustainability is questioned from the viewpoints of environment, society, economy and politics. As the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to achieve a sustainable world by 2030, India has to relook at its current development approaches and make effective policy measures. Geography is an interdisciplinary branch of social science that focuses on the interrelationships among population, natural resources, social linkages, governments and public policy. Within this interdisciplinary concept, the book presents a collection of studies from scholars in India. We ask questions such as, (1) what major geographical approaches and perspectives exist related to sustainability, (2) how socioeconomic and political factors affects sustainability and SDGs, (3) what approach is the most effective from the sustainability perspective, and (4) how we address sustainability issues. The book serves as a valuable reference for those who are concerned with the progress of sustainability in India.

Emerging Perspectives from Social Realism on Knowledge and Education: Curricula, Pedagogy, Identity, and Equity (Routledge Research in the Sociology of Education)
by Graham McPhail Leesa Wheelahan Richard PountneyThis book brings the key ideas and concepts of social realism to bear on current debates in the fields of knowledge and curriculum.The key concern of this collection is to highlight matters related to knowledge and the influence these dimensions have on the formation of curricula, pedagogy, identity, and equity in educational contexts. Presenting new perspectives on the place of various types and forms of knowledge in contemporary education, this book explores two central questions, ‘what type of knowledge is most important to include in a curriculum?’ and ‘what is meant by disciplinary knowledge?’ The chapters use empirical examples to illustrate how the issues play out on a global stage, interweaving the social justice concern of equitable access to disciplinary knowledge throughout. In particular, the authors address the emerging theorisation of issues related to the decolonisation of curricula, the recontextualisation of ‘non-traditional’ knowledge into the curriculum, and teacher education.Offering new philosophical and theoretical perspectives, this book will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and students examining the fields of knowledge and curriculum, and the sociology of education more broadly.
Emerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy: Accommodating an Uncertain Future (Routledge Focus on Design Pedagogy)
by Sally Stone Laura SandersonEmerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy explores the emergent techniques in architectural education that are helping to bridge the gap between the institutional setting and working practice. It demonstrates how teaching and learning can, and should, be directed towards tackling the real-world problems that students will encounter within their professional careers. Architectural and design practitioners are becoming less specialised, they are embracing cross-disciplinary connections and practical problem-solving. Architecture and design schools must align their teaching to reflect this changing world, and evolve from a fact-based acquisition process to a participatory method of learning. This book uses an extended case-study format to examine large-scale issues. Each chapter represents a specific mode of practice, which is linked to the wider debate on architectural and design pedagogy; this includes collaborative workshops and interventions, issues connected to sustainability and climate change, responses to rapid urbanisation, and, the creation of collaborative relationships across disciplines. The book has an international perspective, with contributions from the United Kingdom, United States of America, and Singapore, and includes a timely discussion on teaching in a remote climate. This book will be an invaluable resource for engaged academics and teaching practitioners interested in playing a key role in the future development of the architectural profession.
Emerging Practices in Scholarship of Learning and Teaching in a Digital Era
by Tak Lam Wong Siu Cheung Kong Min Yang Cheuk Fai Chow Ka Ho TseIn this book, we put forward a holistic conceptual framework for implementing Scholarship of Learning and Teaching (SoLT) in higher education. Unlike previous SoLT studies, which usually focus on a specific aspect, here various aspects are integrated into a holistic framework. Further, it identifies three main stakeholders, namely, the higher education institution, teaching staff, and students. These stakeholders are in turn connected by four interlocking themes: staff professional development, enhancement of student learning experiences, assessment, and digital technologies. Presenting chapters that address these four themes, this book supports the advancement of SoLT in higher education in relation to existing theories and emerging practices. By helping academics and leaders in higher education to implement SoLT for the improvement of student learning and teaching practices, it also makes a valuable contribution to the field of teacher education.
