Emily Nelson; Bronwen Cowie – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Student agency theorising traditionally positions individuals as sovereign and under-theorises the role non-human material elements play in enacting agency. We recognise the role of the material but to honour our research participants and context we adopt an asymmetrical view of the agency of the material non-human in relation to the human in…

Jessica Sickler; Michelle Lentzner; Lynn T. Goldsmith; Lauren Brase; Randall Kochevar – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The need for data literacy is an increasingly pressing priority in society, but most of the work in data-centred education has focused on developing skills at the middle school, secondary, and post-secondary levels, with little attention on the potential for engaging elementary-aged students in reasoning with and about data. This paper reports…

Rufo, David – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2020
In the spring of 2011, a teacher allowed his fourth and fifth grade students to draw and write on their classroom tables.

Fulton, Lori; Paek, Seungoh; Taoka, Mari – Science and Children, 2017
Students of today are digital natives who for the most part come to school with experiences that may surpass those of their teachers. They use tablet computers and other devices in their personal lives and are eager to use them in the classroom. For teachers, this means they must integrate technology in ways that allow their students to learn with…
