The research is conceptual, introducing a synthetic picture of the teacher-student relationship with the environment in which they develop throughout their lives. Starting from the conception of cognitive and social constructivism (Piaget, 1952; Vîgotsky, 1978) and the alternative Reggio Emilia pedagogy (Hewitt, 2001; Moss, 2019), we use the TPACK…

A science, technology, society, and environmental (STSE) impact assignment framework was developed that bridges the gap between analytical chemistry education and broader societal and environmental contexts. Over the course of [approximately]8 weeks, students were provided with the opportunity to engage in a self-directed learning opportunity to…

In this article I explore Serres' idea of science and how it impacted his overall work. This approach to understanding Serres' idea of science is much like working with Nietzsche. I look at the areas Serres viewed as the dangers of science including what he referred to as a tsunami of data and the primary focus on methods. I end with Serres third…

A relational approach focusses on connections between things, assuming that all things exist in relatedness. In this article, attention is given to the relationship between innovative learning environments (ILE) as described in literature, and elements of the field of Pacific education. In order to investigate this relationship, I take a layered…

Conventional approaches to assessment involve teachers and examiners judging the quality of learners work by reference to lists of criteria or other 'outcome' statements. This paper explores a quite different method of assessment using 'Adaptive Comparative Judgement' (ACJ) that was developed within a research project at Goldsmiths University of…
