  1. Eco-Rational Education An Educational Response to Environmental Crisis.Simone Thornton - 2024 - New York: Routledge.
    Eco-Rational Education proposes an educational response to climate change, environmental degradation, and desctructive human relations to ecology through the delivery of critical land-responsive environmental education. -/- The book argues that education is a powerful vehicle for both social change and cultural reproduction.

  • Why am I here? The challenges of exploring children's existential questions in the community of inquiry.Luca Zanetti - 2020 - Childhood and Philosophy 16 (36):01-26.

  • Inquiry and growth: The dance of teaching and learning.Winifred Wing Han Lamb - 2018 - Journal of Philosophy in Schools 5 (2):35-52.
    The notions of ‘growth’ and ‘inquiry’ are central in the Philosophy for Children movement. Phil Cam’s writings on these concepts clearly map their close connection and, in the process, raise further questions for teachers of philosophy on curriculum content and the management of inquiry itself. With reference to the senior secondary context, I show how Cam’s exposition points to the teacher’s significant role, not only in the management of inquiry, but also in his or her participation as a learner in (...)
