Description

This book provides a practical philosophy for promoting students' sophisticated thinking from Early Childhood to PhD in ways that explicitly interconnect across the years of education. It will help teachers, academics and the broader learning and teaching community to understand and implement these connections by introducing a conceptual framework, the Models of Engaged Learning and Teaching (MELT). By covering the nature, philosophy, practice and implications of MELT for teachers and students alike, the book will help teachers to facilitate students’ awareness of, and increasing responsibility for, the thinking demanded by subject and discipline-specific learning as well as interdisciplinary learning, whether face to face, online or in blended modes. The book will also provide educators with ways to effectively engage with complex, and sometimes conflicting, contemporary educational concepts, and with a diverse variety of colleagues involved in the learning and teaching enterprise.


The book provides guidance that allows curriculum improvement, teacher action research and larger-scale research to be reported on from a common perspective, bridging the gap between those readers focused on research and those focused on teaching. The book shares valuable insights and ways of addressing the contemporary issue of discipline-based learning versus transdisciplinary learning, reducing the dichotomy and enabling the two approaches to complement each other.

Dr John Willison is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, School of Education and a National Senior Teaching Fellow. From 2004 to 2014, he coordinated a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education for academics from all disciplines. Currently he coordinates Initial Teacher Education courses and is Program Director of the Bachelor of Teaching (Middle Years). His PhD (2000) focused on the scientific literacy of Year 8 students who were engaged in laboratory experiments, and from that work’s fusion of competing epistemologies (positivism, personal constructivism, social constructivism), he formed the underlying theory for the practice-oriented Models of Engaged Learning and Teaching (MELT) approach.
