Too frequently science teachers either pose questions that target predefined answers or simply lecture through lessons, a major concern from a sociocultural perspective. This…

Schultz, Katherine – Teachers College Press, 2009

Levine, Glenn S. – Multilingual Matters, 2011

Brown, Mike; Fraser, Deborah – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2009
Risk is positioned as a distinguishing feature of outdoor adventure education (OAE) pedagogy.

The taken-for-granted centrality of risk continues to have currency due to the thrill and allure of adventurous outdoor activities. This paper…
