Details

The 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. Learners will apply their research skills to identify key themes, gaps, and potential applications of land as a pedagogical tool. This project will provide valuable insights that can inform future educational initiatives and support the Centre's mission to promote Indigenous languages and culture.
