This study examined how the landscape studio has supported scholarly problem-solving pedagogy. Examination was limited to studio-educators’ published pedagogical research on problem-solving topics and on landscape architecture students’ preferences for solving studio-based problems. A unique multi-method research approach was used to assess the scholarly rigor and breadth of 467 academic articles published between 1997 and 2008 in Landscape Journal, Landscape Research, and Landscape Review. Scholarly rigor was assessed using Boyer’s model of scholarship, Cross and Steadman’s multiple scholarships of teaching, Weimer’s scholarly work on teaching and learning, and Groat and Wang’s architectural research methods. Content analysis was used to catalogue the breadth of problem-solving tools, techniques and theories mentioned in the articles. Research questionnaires, one-on-one interviews, focus groups and formal project presentations surveyed students’ problem-solving preferences. Seventy-eight first and final year students at Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland and Washington State University, United States participated. Data were tested to determine whether what studio-educators claimed in the articles were supported by landscape students’ preferences for solving studio-based problems. Results found 56 articles possessed characteristics of scholarly work on teaching and learning and advanced problem-solving knowledge. Twenty-two different problem-solving tools, techniques or theories were mentioned in the articles. Students independently reported a preference for using 20 of the 22 problem-solving approaches. Strongly shared approaches involved cultural awareness and site visits. Approaches recommended by educator-authors, but not preferred by students, involved the environment, teamwork and innovation. Further research may be needed to explain these differences. In conclusion, the landscape studio has supported scholarly problem-solving pedagogy through studio-educators’ pedagogical research published in discipline-based journals and students’ preferences for solving studio-based problems. This study is significant in its use of multi-method approaches to examine scholarly research and teaching. In the future, educator-authors may use information contained in this study to strengthen their teaching and scholarship.

Digital technology has not become commonplace in teaching and learning despite the considerable growth, availability and use in society. Moreover, when digital technology is used in education, the digital technology itself seems to take precedence over pedagogy. In physical education (PE), research shows that there is little knowledge as to how and why teachers in the UK use digital technology in their teaching. Subsequently, the purpose of this thesis is to explore PE teachers understanding and experiences regarding how and why they use digital technology in their practice. Guided by an appreciative inquiry (AI) philosophy, this thesis employs a case study methodology in order to explore how and why PE teachers use digital technology. This study pays particular attention to the teachers perspective and the previously under-considered factors that enable, develop and influence their use of DigiTech, rather than the often-reported barriers and constraints. Data were gathered over a 12-month period, involving four teachers from schools across England. Methods of data gathering include AI interviews, interviews with headteachers, senior leadership team members, PE staff, heads of department and IT Managers, and lesson observations, document analysis and field notes. The collected data were analysed using a constructivist approach to grounded theory and the findings collated into four chapters; each of which explores the views, experiences and uses of digital technology by one of the four teachers. These chapters are structured by the three themes constructed from the data analysis. The first theme, developing an embedded culture , explores the teachers perceptions of developing an individual, department and whole school approach towards how digital technology is used. This theme explores the factors promoting the teachers use of DigiTech and the role of the school in shaping their digital technology use. The second theme, keeping tasks simple , details the simple techniques and practices the teachers used to aid their teaching with digital technology. The third theme, establishing routines , describes the ways in which the teachers sought to develop and sustain their use of digital technology, to ensure regularity of use and confidence with digital technology. Drawing on the work of Casey et al. (2017a), this thesis concludes by suggesting that the three-dimensional categorisation of pedagogy (in the form of teachers and teaching, learners and learning and knowledge in context - Armour, 2011) should be used as a lens for further discussion about digital technology use in PE. By using pedagogy as the starting point, we can begin to unpick and formulate future ways in which digital technology can support teachers delivery of PE.

Keen efforts have been put by Taiwanese government into creative education projects; however, possible paradoxes resulting from adopting the ethos behind the Western theories and practices have not been considered. Questions of how creativity and creative education should be defined in the Taiwanese educational context, how compatible the Taiwanese school cultures are with the objective of enhancing creativity, or how teachers and pupils cherish creativity, have not been asked. Within the reformed curriculum and creative education projects, there is no clear picture of what kind of creative capacity should be developed through education, nor guidelines of what pedagogical strategies to adopt for promoting creativity. In this research the responses of pupils and teachers are investigated through designing and teaching a series of drama lessons based on the school curricula in the two cases under study. The approaches to teaching drama are linked with a framework of creative pedagogy informed by theories of fostering creativity in educational settings. A descriptive case study approach was employed to capture the dynamics, modes of involvements, and subtle relationships of the participants, whose accounts were collected concerning their views of the lessons, the evaluation of the ways of teaching and learning, and the ethos behind the pedagogy. Key issues in adopting creative pedagogy in Taiwan context are discussed, and implications for contextualizing creative pedagogy are proposed. Suggestions for future research in creative pedagogy are also provided.

The research question takes us on the reasons why young people choose to teach. The objective is to understand the profession choices of beginning teachers and also understand the perception they have of the pedagogical work they perform. The identification of conceptions of teaching and pedagogy is another of the objectives that this study aims. A bibliographic and field research methodology was used, in which questionnaires were administered to better understand the options and conceptions of beginning teachers. Among the authors consulted for theoretical reasons can be underline the names of Contreras , Tardiff , Charlot , Selma Pimenta, Paulo Freire , Gatti , Libâneo among others that address the chosen themes of this dissertation and allowed to concluded that the teaching profession maintains some of its attractiveness, although they also highlighted the less attractive aspects of it. The choices made by beginning teachers who collaborated in the study are mostly related to the dreams and aspirations when they were children and the love for teaching. It was still possible to verify that the concepts of Pedagogy and Teaching are mingle, according to the explanations given by the respondents. Although the profession no longer seen with the same perspective, the love to teach and share knowledge and information, help in building the personality of children still remains intact . / Este trabalho teve como base a questão da escolha da profissão docente, a sua atratividade e como ela é percebida pelos professores iniciantes de educação infantil. O problema de pesquisa volta-se ao estudo das razões pelas quais os jovens escolhem ser professores. Objetiva-se compreender as escolhas de profissão dos professores iniciantes e também entender qual a percepção que eles possuem do trabalho pedagógico que desempenham. A identificação das concepções de docência e pedagogia é outro dos objetivos que este trabalho se propôs. Foi usada uma metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e trabalho de campo, onde se aplicaram questionários para melhor entender as opções e concepções dos professores iniciantes. Dentre os autores consultados para a fundamentação teórica salientam-se os nomes de Contreras, Tardiff, Charlot, Selma Pimenta, Paulo Freire, Gatti, Libâneo entre outros que abordam as temáticas escolhidas na elaboração desta dissertação e que permitiram concluir que a profissão docente mantém alguma da sua atratividade, embora também sejam destacados os aspectos menos atrativos da mesma. As escolhas feitas pelos professores iniciantes que colaboraram no estudo estão, na sua maioria, relacionadas com os sonhos e anseios de criança e com o gosto de ensinar. Foi ainda possível verificar que os conceitos de Pedagogia e Docência se confundem, de acordo com as explicações dadas pelos entrevistados. Embora a profissão já não seja vista os mesmos olhos, o gosto de ensinar e partilhar conhecimentos e informação, ajudar na construção da personalidade das crianças ainda se mantém intacta.
