Abstract
As academics, we are acutely aware of our responsibility in the design of our
teaching and learning environment to instil principles of ethics, sustainability,
agency and social justice. We are at the crossroad between the
commodification of knowledge versus learning that steeped in well-being and
innovative socio-ecological and or socio-technical transitions. These
complexities prompted a Design-Based Research (DBR) project that
commenced in 2020 to test and refine design principles that can facilitate an
interdisciplinary, collaborative learning environment that exposes students to
future challenges foregrounded in social justice perspectives of local voice,
collaboration and co-design. A conceptual model informed by four
pedagogical propositions of relationality, reflexivity, responsiveness and
recognition is stipulated and nine design principles derived from these
propositions are proposed.
