Making marks: Handlability in landscape and learning

Wood-Willems, Christine (2019) Making marks: Handlability in landscape and learning. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Drawing together Steiner philosophy, Landscape Architecture, and Visual Art, this Master of Design (Research) thesis explores and redefines a pedagogical practice which maintains the Steiner philosophy of 'Head, Heart and Hand', but which simultaneously enhances awareness and embraces contemporary notions of sustainability in this educational setting. Utilising a qualitative, action research methodology, this research explores how educators might rethink, reimagine and refit a sense of place and outdoor learning, by cultivating a framework of sustainable practice. The resulting model — Culture for Renewal — may be extrapolated to apply to the wider pedagogical context, awakening a consciousness, crucial for the times in which we live.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
