Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to summarise the author's perspective on the need for reimagining responsive pedagogies. The book is written at a time of immense global change that has disrupted and rewritten new moments in global histories, institutions, and societies. The author draws from extensive experience as an educator and researcher to illustrate how education can creatively respond to ongoing issues and challenges. The preceding chapters emphasise the need for educators to capitalize on opportunities to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to transact and negotiate digital and learning landscapes and create new imaginings. Anecdotal scenarios are instructive for demonstrating how disruption offers possibilities for new reconfigurations of learning spaces, including social and spatial practices considered impossible to change.

Theorising And Imagining New Ways Of Learning

With Chapters 1 to 4 contextualising shifts in thinking about teacher-student identities, pedagogy, curriculum and theory, Chapter 5 locates these topics in contemporary educational landscapes in the digital age. Powerful voices from business and the corporate worlds promote technological solutions for social and environmental issues including education, work, leisure, culture and media. Propositions of seamlessness, interchangeability, decommissioning of boundaries, and virtual experiences in technologically designed realities are difficult to resist. In comparison, educational institutions appear to be lagging behind and not capitalizing on the pedagogical possibilities that digital technology and applications offer.
