YarnPod: Indigenous Knowledges in Science Education: Two-way learning and inquiry-based approaches with Torres Webb and Dr Anne Forbes

Description

Dr Anne Forbes from Macquarie University and proud Far North Queenslander and Indigenous man from the Torres Strait, Torres Webb from CSIRO co-created this YarnPod to share their stories and perspectives related to science education.

In this Yarnpod, Torres and Anne explore how Indigenous and Western science knowledges can be used together in science education, and why inquiry-based approaches and practices are important in learning and teaching.

They delve into the ecosystems through which Torres participates in the world, and unearth how 2-way learning participation involves coming in with no preconceived ideas and using 'listening to understand'.

We hope that you find the YarnPod to be a useful and interesting way to engage with science this week and beyond.
