Contextualising teaching and learning

Curriculum is an ongoing social process comprised of interactions among students, instructors, and with the environment where they live. The consideration of context in curriculum revision is related to using real life examples, drawing cases from current climate change issues, and local materials/examples. Contextualising learning may help to break down the barriers between the different learning environments (university-community) and thus create a context more conducive to learning.

Exploring current case studies, and discussing local climate change and sustainability policy events through peer interaction, debate and dialogue is of critical importance to contextualising teaching and learning towards CLIMASP. Such a practice can bring theory to real world, and provide the motivation necessary to inspire deep learning.
