Augmented reality (AR) – innovative uses in primary education
No full textThis chapter explains Augmented Reality (AR) and introduces innovative uses of AR in primary education: science is used as an example. One of the main advantages of using AR applications and platforms is the ability to display relevant digital information to support pupils’ learning in real time and through specific contexts. The authors have found, through their research, that augmented reality offers exciting opportunities for pupils to digitally interact in ways traditional teaching methods cannot deliver. The chapter is a summary of ideas from Fearn’s review of published research plus initial findings from his subsequent research
Toilet Talk: problematising and co-constructing school toilet policy and practice.
Get PDFSchool toilets around the world have been problematic historically, as places of shame, bullying, and inadequate facilities. This participatory pupil research project sought to develop political agency with young researchers, by equipping them with research skills to develop a research project about school toilets, to help challenge and shape their school’s policy and practice.
We apply Sara Ahmed’s concepts of willful subjects and complaint (2014, 2021) to data and question who is able to use school toilets as expected. Often fear, disgust, and restrictions encourage, if not force, pupils who are disabled, menstruating, or transgender, to contravene toilet norms, and thus be considered willful. We worked with pupil researchers problematise the world around them. We argue that it is imperative to use this form of feminist pedagogy to challenge toilet policy and practice, with children and young people, if we are to achieve wider social justice in education

In particular, academics should consider the potential benefits of evidence-based practice as part of the experiential reflective learning process in order to encourage the development of key transferable skills and deeper forms of learning that will enable future graduates to become reflective practitioners, with the necessary skillset to regularly engage in continued professional development within industry settings. Further discussion, debate and research on such matters is required within events management literature
