pedagogy knowledge-based systems information synthesis researchThe Centre for Aboriginal Languages and Culture seeks to deepen its understanding of "Land as pedagogy," a concept that emphasizes the importance of land-based learning in Indigenous education. This project involves conducting a comprehensive literature review to explore existing research, theories, and practices related to this educational approach. The goal is to compile and synthesize information that highlights how land-based learning can be integrated into educational frameworks to support Indigenous knowledge systems and cultural preservation.
