Abstract

The understanding of sustainability issues and preparedness to take action towards a sustainable future involves abilities to navigate between past, present, and future. This paper explores how the use of imaginary transitions in time – in the form of historying, and futuring in process drama – may afford student understanding of the wicked problem of plastics. The study draws on a design-based research study on process drama in upper-secondary school chemistry teaching which was conducted in collaboration with two teachers. During the process drama, the students and teachers travel in time to explore the uses of plastic; the motives and needs for using plastic as well as the consequences of plastic use in the form of plastic pollution today and in the future. The collected data consist of video- and audio recordings, which were analysed through qualitative content analysis that discerned how the students connected the temporalities, and which dimensions of the plastic problem were made visible in the temporal movements in the process drama. Our findings indicate that the temporal transitions made visible several dimensions of the plastic issue, and contributed to adding layers of complexity to the issue of plastics.
在一部关于塑料污染的过程剧中穿越时间——关于邪恶问题复杂性的教学中的时间性
对可持续发展问题的理解和对可持续发展的未来采取行动的准备包括在过去,现在和未来之间导航的能力。本文探讨了如何使用想象的时间过渡——以历史和未来的形式在过程戏剧中——可以让学生理解塑料的邪恶问题。本研究借鉴了与两位教师合作进行的基于设计的高中化学教学过程戏剧研究。在过程剧中,师生穿越时空,探索塑料的用途;使用塑料的动机和需要,以及塑料在今天和未来以塑料污染的形式使用的后果。收集到的数据包括视频和音频记录,这些数据通过定性内容分析进行分析,以识别学生如何将暂时性联系起来,以及在过程戏剧的时间运动中可以看到塑性问题的哪些维度。我们的研究结果表明,时间的转变使塑料问题的几个维度可见,并有助于增加塑料问题的复杂性。
