- Description
- This chapter argues for a critical perspective on the use of lo-cal knowledge and practices in teaching and learning, present-ing some pedagogical thinking tools for reviewing intergenera-tional teaching and learning processes. The chapter highlights five relational elements in teaching and learning processes, including the relationship between individual and community, social and historic contexts, school-based actions and local practices, local and regional/national/global concerns, and fi-nally between local knowledge and abstract school knowledge. These relational elements of learning illustrate how it is possi-ble to mitigate against conservative, over-simplistic or idealistic responses to environmental concerns. This argument is illus-trated through reference to a lesson designed and implement-ed by a school teacher participating in a Rhodes University ac-credited teacher professional development course–the Schools and Sustainability course. This teacher depended substantially on intergenerational communication for her les-son, which supported Grade 1 pupils to research the use of wild vegetables historically in their community and plant these vegetables in their school garden with the support of knowledgeable community members.
