This paper is part of the special issue on Teacher Learning and Practice within Organizational Contexts. Shifting instructional practices in elementary schools to include more equitable, reform-based pedagogies is imperative for supporting students' development as science learners. Teachers need high quality professional development (PD) to learn…

This article addresses the intersection of genocide studies, climate change, and peace education. It does so by examining the state of these connections, and proposes a fresh concept for considering the entanglements of contemporary violence in the Anthropocene. A notion of postgenocide sees the elements of geopolitical order, warlordism, climate…

The increasing interest in climate change and environmental education has highlighted the importance of strategies to enhance the adoption, implementation, and sustainability of these initiatives. However, the field of environmental education has not extensively explored implementation strategies, despite the existence of frameworks and…

This qualitative case study evaluates the impact of the 1.5 MAX initiative on Climate Change Education (CCE) in Malawian secondary schools through the dual lens of Education for Sustainable Development and decolonial theory. Malawi's curricula prioritize Western agricultural models over Indigenous knowledge, resulting in fragmented implementation…

In this study, the direct effect of school climate on teacher job satisfaction and self-efficacy, and the indirect effect of school climate on job satisfaction through the mediation of self-efficacy were examined. The data was collected through a questionnaire from a randomly selected 833 teachers who teach at elementary, middle, and secondary…

Climate education at the high school level involves teaching about Earth's climate system and global climate change (GCC; Next Generation Science Standards Lead States, 2013). Integrating data-rich technologies is crucial for educators and scientists alike. Teacher professional development programs (PDPs) offer teachers access to these resources,…

There is a mismatch between established practice in Learning Design and the increasingly complex nature of the challenges the world is facing. This article connects Learning Design to complexity science so learners can be better equipped to create a thriving future. Learning Design methods have traditionally leant heavily upon the reduction of…

The authors argue that playable fictions and analog game design can be an effective way to engage students in discussions about climate change and related scientific areas of exploration. They offer the example of a middle school climate science education unit grounded in the design, analysis, and play of board games and card games based on a…

This report investigates the relationship between climate change education (CCE) and pro-environmental behaviour (PEB), with a specific focus on what prompts children and young people aged 3-19 to act on their climate knowledge. Through a structured review of recent peer-reviewed literature, the review identifies the characteristics of effective…

Purpose: This study concentrated on creating an awareness campaign for the community using a participatory research model that involved environmental experts, community representatives and undergraduates. This study aims to explore the impact of the undergraduates' involvement in the awareness campaign project in the context of their environmental…

Background: A better understanding of departmental climate and its relationship to engineering identity is needed to diversify engineering and improve marginalized students' experiences. Purpose/Hypothesis: We investigated whether undergraduate engineering students from 16 social identity groups perceived departmental climate differently from one…

This article reviews critical pedagogy challenges, opportunities, and limitations in paying attention to environmental issues and crises. Pre-disaster efforts in preventing and overcoming environmental damage and crime can be pursued through environmental education at all levels, from primary education to higher education. There is a need to…

Purpose: This study aims to describe the process leading the climate emergency declaration (CED) at the University of Salamanca. In contrast to similar initiatives, this was achieved with the participation of students on the social movement Fridays For Future Salamanca. Design/methodology/approach: The context of the CED is described. Statements…

Individuals increasingly rely on digital media technologies to learn about and access new information. Yet, despite the dramatic rise in electronic media use among youth and adults, our understanding of its impact, opportunities, and challenges within environmental education remains limited, especially in home contexts. Using a learning ecology…

Years ago, it became established that the severity and length of the Great Depression were due largely to misguided Federal Reserve monetary policy and the resulting catastrophic bank failures. This result is confirmed by surveys of scholars in the area and books specifically written on economic history. Yet the leading textbooks used in high…
