In a rapidly globalizing world, the pressing challenge for science
and mathematics educators is to develop their transdisciplinary
capabilities for countering the neo-colonial hegemony of the
Western modern worldview that has been embedded historically, like
a Trojan Horse, in the international education export industry.
Research as Transformative Learning for Sustainable Futures
introduces the world to next-generation multi-worldview research
that empowers prospective educational leaders with a vision and
voice for designing 21st century educational policies and practices
that foster sustainable development of the diverse cultural capital
of their multicultural societies. At the heart of this research are
the principles of equity, inclusiveness and social justice. The
book starts with accounts of the editors' extensive experience of
engaging culturally diverse educators in postgraduate research as
transformative learning. A unique aspect of their work is combining
Eastern and Western wisdom traditions. In turn, the chapter authors
- teacher educators from universities across Asia, Southern Africa,
the Middle East, and the Pacific - share their experience of
research that transformed their philosophies of professional
practice. They illustrate the following aspects of their engagement
in research as transformative learning for sustainable futures:
excavating auto|ethnographically their lifeworld experiences of
learning and teaching; developing empowering scholarly perspectives
for analysing critically and reflexively the complex cultural
framings of their professional practices; re-visioning their
cultural and professional identities; articulating transformative
philosophies of professional practice; and enacting transformative
agency on return to their educational institutions. Contributors
