Introduction
No full textBook synopsis: This important new book offers a state-of-the-art examination of political ecology, its evolution as an academic subject, and how environmental knowledge is used in the realm of global international politics. Focusing on the development of environmental knowledge with particular regard to the developing world, the book above all explores the discrepancies between environmental policies implemented by domineering international bodies, and perceptions of issues found in more local contexts.
Split into three sections, the book explores firstly the relationship between science and environmentalism, before moving on to discuss the political ecology of a major area of current concern - water management. The final section provides a well-documented analysis of the often discordant environmental power relations seen at international and local level. Written by a team of international experts, this volume encapsulates the whole range of approaches that currently characterise the burgeoning field of political ecology

Using a lens of awareness in phenomenographic research: an example from early mathematics education research
No full textThis paper aims to contribute to the advancement of methodological practice for phenomenographic research by introducing the notion of a lens of awareness, as a device that can enable researchers to zoom into the detail of the research process (the parts of the whole) and out again to the related context of a phenomenographic study (the whole). The lens enables researchers to embrace a reflexive stance to bracket prior assumptions, allowing critical inspection of the whole research process and a thorough retrospective and transparent account of the approaches used. We use a lens of awareness to communicate the component parts of a study that examined preschool children’s understandings of the use of numerals in everyday environments. Through an analytical documentation of processes and decisions, we examine challenges, the powerful affordances and application of a phenomenographic approach to research with young children. We discuss four strands of researcher awareness that we argue are important in the application of phenomenography: the nature of the phenomenon; the operationalization of phenomenographic theoretical notions; the researcher’s versus the participant’s experience of the phenomenon and the applied research processes. The paper closes with explorative strategies that may enhance transparency and trustworthiness in phenomenographic research.</p

Comparison of conditioning impairments in children with Down syndrome, autistic spectrum disorders and mental age-matched controls
No full textBACKGROUND: This study investigated the relative ease of learning across four tasks suggested by an adaptation of Thomas's hierarchy of learning in children with Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders and mental age-matched controls.
METHODS: Learning trials were carried out to investigate observational learning, instrumental learning, reversal learning and conditional discrimination.
RESULTS: The sample with autism spectrum disorders performed worse than the other two groups on the observational learning and conditional discrimination tasks, while the Down syndrome sample performed worse on the instrumental learning task.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings are discussed in terms of there implications for reward-based educational intervention programmes
