Abstract

In research we ask questions to which we do not know the answers. However, we may find answers to some questions and, in collaboration with others, better understand other things. Using the change-maker framework (Robinson, 2020) this presentation suggests that research and teaching are two sides of the same coin. Can teaching and learning focus on asking questions and shared meaningmaking? And if so, how can we nurture students to co-create meaning and thus become change-makers for a better future?
