Michie, Michael; Rioux, Joël; Hogue, Michelle – Teaching Science, 2021
We suggest that two interpretations of time -- linear time and cyclical time -- that complement each other when planning lessons, can be used in both Western and Indigenous science. The idea of time in the Australian Curriculum: Science is examined and seen to be primarily associated with the Western science tradition, so it is suggested that the…

Farenga, Stephen J.; Ness, Daniel; Hutchinson, Michael – Science Scope, 2008
Given the commonness of pets in communities throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia, among other countries, pet stewardship should be a natural topic of study for the integration of science, mathematics, and technology. Therefore, the term "stewardship" will be examined by applying observation and research to shape our…

Yelland, Nicola; Cope, Bill; Kalantzis, Mary – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2008
In this paper we present a new theoretical framework for effective teaching and learning in the twenty-first century. We focus on learning activities that exemplify pedagogy as knowing in action and consider the ways in which this enables a transformation of learning in schools. We provide examples of the ways in which this can be designed and…
