One way to preserve culture in education is through ethnoscience-based learning, especially in chemical materials linked to various fields of science in life, including social and cultural. Ethnoscience is a process of reconstructing indigenous science knowledge with scientific science. This research aims to explore trends in ethnoscience-based…

This mixed-methods study taps into the salient features of knowledge mobilization and sociocultural conditions that shape postsecondary international student experiences with Indigenous cultures and commitment to allyship--a consistent gap identified in the literature. In the qualitative phase, international students from a Canadian university…

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…

Indigenous languages are reciprocal caretakers of culture, holding and carrying the foundation of knowledge and being throughout generations (Hermes, Bang, and Marin 2012; Jacob 2013). Language and culture work together both to form and to sustain a unique worldview, one that Indigenous children have inherent rights to acquire and fully enjoy…

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 intersection of Indigeneity and English Language Teaching (ELT) remains critically underexplored in ELT/TESOL. This article examines how two Indigenous Miskitu teachers of English in Honduras draw upon their Indigeneity to inform their professional identities and pedagogical practices. Grounded in "turi aisa ya", an Indigenous…

In the last few years, Chilean educational policies have emphasized the participation of indigenous communities in intercultural preschools. However, recent research has shown that the alliances between indigenous communities and these preschools are still weak. Thus, we focus on the perspective of Mapuche organizations -- in Chile -- regarding…

Many educators highly recommend integrating science learning with the themes of local wisdom. Orientation to indigenous knowledge and Western science is believed to facilitate students in connecting science learning with the actual condition of their surroundings. The applied curriculum yet widely provided an opportunity for such local integration…

Culture plays an essential role in the emergence and development of mathematics; hence, both are inseparable. Mathematics emerges from the daily activities of a group of people, and although its concepts have been applied traditionally since time immemorial, it has not reached the level of formal usage. One cultural activity involving mathematical…

This article offers Ancestral Computing for Sustainability (ACS) to dismantle the logics of settler colonialism that affect accessibility, identities, and epistemologies of computer science education (CSE). ACS centers Indigenous epistemologies in researching CSE across four public universities in the United States. This paper describes Ancestral…

Research involving and impacting Indigenous Peoples is often of little or no benefit to the communities involved and, in many cases, causes harm. Ensuring that Indigenous research is not only ethical but also of benefit to the communities involved is a long-standing problem that requires fundamental changes in higher education. To address this…

This paper examines the determinant factors motivating language choice in churches in coastal Accra, an area characterized by a high degree of urbanization and multilingualism. As this region is also ethnically Gã, we survey the attitudes of Gã congregants to the use of other languages in their churches, bearing in mind the pressure faced by Gã…

Expanding globalization and the recent nationalistic backlash in the West presents a pedagogical threshold of opportunity for inquiry and transformation. We explore how these movements are pedagogical from the philosophical perspective of feminist pragmatism informed by the logic of home, a Native philosophical and political perspective. This…

Western science largely controls what is learned, funded, studied, and published, yet few scientists are aware of the particular ontological, epistemological, and axiological assumptions that form the foundation of the Western scientific worldview. Western science is not universal, acultural, or objective, and only the privilege and power of…
