This article seeks to put two pedagogical orientations, one influenced by "friluftsliv" and the other wild pedagogies, into dialogue. The theoretical section focuses on three key components: childhood, knowledge, and nature. Next, we frame "friluftsliv" and wild pedagogies and connect them to contemporary early childhood…

Following the American Civil War, several school music series were published to serve the needs of graded schools. These gradually became more popular than the single-volume songbooks previously used in public schools.

Purpose: The educational community -- particularly higher education -- should contribute to the new generation's understanding of what sustainability entails. To do this, teachers must be aware of the need for education for sustainability. However, little is known about how university teachers understand or represent sustainability. This study…

STEM education and research has gained popularity internationally over the last decade. However, there is a lack in specifications in existing K-12 STEM classroom observation protocols of how features of an integrated STEM experience/lesson would lead to desired outcomes and how those outcomes should be measured. To bridge this gap, we propose the…

Autonomy-supportive teachers energize students' agency and initiative. However, few studies consider whether agentically engaged students energize more autonomy-supporting teachers. We asked 2,908 middle and high school students in physical education courses to report their agentic engagement and the autonomy supportiveness of their teachers. Data…

Children's early understanding of mathematics provides a foundation for later success in school. Identifying ways to enhance mathematical instruction is crucial to understanding the ideal ways to promote academic success. Previous work has identified mathematical language (i.e., the words and concepts related to early mathematical development such…
