Developing Sustainable Education in Regional Australia

About this book

This book challenges current thinking about education by emphasising the importance of an educational approach capable of taking account of the background and learning experiences of both the student and educator. Learning, it is argued, needs to be interdisciplinary and holistic. It needs to take place within personalised learning environments. And it needs to take account of the particular nature of rural and regional knowledge, and knowledge requirements. Sections of Developing Sustainable Education examine, in turn, university, secondary school and Indigenous education.
