Beskrivelse

Abstract: The EU-Erasmus project 'Ocean Connections' aims to develop approaches to teaching Ocean Literacy through combining key ideas and practices from research streams in creative pedagogies and in the use of digital technologies, namely Augmented and Virtual Realities (AR and VR). The project identified some core educative principles derived from the research literature which were then explored in practice within 6 pilot projects, 2 each in England, Spain and Denmark. At the heart of the Ocean Connections project is a material-dialogic theoretical perspective that draws on new materialist theory to understand learning about the Ocean as a relational, emergent process. We present this theoretical framework and our rationale for its use; and the educative principles on which the pilot projects were based. We then present findings from our mixed-methods analysis, drawing on questionnaires, interviews with pupils and teachers, and field observations to illuminate how the educative principles manifested during the projects. Findings show that some key practices such as modelling, and student-led learning/production of and with technology can aid the enactment of a combination of digital and creative pedagogies for teaching ocean literacy. It also showed the potentially important role of creative pedagogies in fostering ethical, activist dimensions of ocean literacy.
