AbstractSocial practices are assumed to play an important role in the evolution of new teaching and learning methods. Teachers internalize knowledge developed in their communities through interactions with peers and experts while solving problems or co-creating materials. However, these social practices and their influence on teachers’ adoption of new pedagogical practices are notoriously hard to study, given their implicit and informal nature. In this paper, we apply the Knowledge Appropriation Model (KAM) to trace how different social practices relate to the implementation of pedagogical innovations in the classroom, through the analysis of more than 40,000 learning designs created within Graasp, an online authoring tool to support inquiry-based learning, used by more than 35,000 teachers. Our results show how different practices of knowledge appropriation, maturation and scaffolding seem to be related, to a varying degree, to teachers’ increased classroom implementation of learning designs. Our study also provides insights into how we can use traces from digital co-creation platforms to better understand the social dimension of professional learning, knowledge creation and the adoption of new practices.

The role of faculty in higher education as knowledge disseminators within the knowledge and digital society can be completely redefined. This paper presents results from a video-based flipped classroom approach combined with a project-oriented learning arrangement. I show that videos combined with a project-based learning setting can be a powerful tool to facilitate the shift from knowledge dissemination to knowledge appropriation. Besides, results show a high level of student's satisfaction and achievement during the course. The competences obtained by the students during the course reach far beyond those possible in a similar course with a traditional teaching approach.

O turismo enquanto vetor do desenvolvimento de sociedades requer um cuidado em relação à qualidade da experiência e da profissionalização, nesse sentido o turismo pedagógico pode contribuir de modo contundente à formação de profissionais com olhar diferenciado para a responsabilidade social. O Grupo de Pesquisa em Patrimônio Cultural – UFMA, vinculado ao Departamento de Turismo e Hotelaria, desenvolve entre suas linhas de atuação trabalhos que buscam apropriar-se das demandas do turismo na região Nordeste. Partindo das temáticas do turismo pedagógico, da educação patrimonial e da sustentabilidade, as autoras, enquanto participantes desse grupo, desenvolveram uma pesquisa oriunda de um trabalho prático-pedagógico realizada no estado de Pernambuco com futuros guias de turismo do estado do Piauí, buscando analisar os efeitos decorrentes da sua participação em atividades práticas no âmbito do turismo, com fins a otimizar a compreensão, o entendimento e a formação desses futuros profissionais no que tange à questões sensíveis tanto ao ambiente, quanto ao ser humano. A metodologia utilizada foi no sentido de identificar as práticas do turismo pedagógico na eficácia do aprendizado e na absorção do conhecimento produzido em sala de aula, para tanto utilizou-se FREINET, AB’SABER, SANTOS, PERINOTTO como norteadores dessa elucidação. Foi possível perceber que a partir da utilização de ferramentas educacionais, mediantes a apropriação previa do conhecimento por parte dos alunos e a experimentação in loco da atividade turística, a importância do deslocamento sócio espacial para a ampliação de entendimentos necessários na formação de profissionais mais conscientes do seu lugar enquanto agente da transformação. Experiencing the knowledge: educational tourism as a tool for teaching and learning ABSTRACT Tourism as a vector of corporate development requires careful about the quality of the experience and professionalism in this regard, educational tourism can contribute powerfully to the formation of professionals with a different aspect of social responsibility. The Research Group on Cultural Heritage - UFMA, linked to the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality, develops among its lines of action studies that attempt to hijack the demands of tourism in the Northeast. Based on the issues of educational tourism, heritage education and sustainability, the authors and participants of this group developed a search derived from a job practical pedagogical conducted in the state of Pernambuco with the future state tour guides of Piauí, trying to analyze the effects of their participation in practical activities in the field of tourism, in order to optimize understanding, understanding and training of these future professionals regarding sensitive issues for both the medium environment, such as humans. The methodology used was to identify pedagogical practices tourism in the effectiveness of learning and absorbing knowledge acquired in the classroom, therefore FREINET, AB'SABER, SANTOS, PERINOTTO was used as guide this clarification. It was observed that from the use of educational tools, through the knowledge appropriation provided by students and experimentation in place of tourist activity, the importance of socio-spatial change to the expansion of knowledge needed in training the more aware of their place while processing agent professionals. KEYWORDS: Educational Tourism; Heritage Education; Sustainability.

Abstract Scientific climate knowledge is often argued to be a key ingredient in climate adaptation. Focusing on individual sectors and institutions, researchers have given insights as to how climate knowledge is reframed according to institutional cultures and priorities. This study extends such scholarship by comparing how four sectors—greenspace management, building technology, spatial planning, and health—perceive, judge, transfer, and appropriate knowledge on urban heatwaves, and what adaptation options are proposed. Based on semi-structured interviews, documentary materials and observations of two workshops collected in two Swiss cities, I draw on Eviatar Zerubavel and his ‘cultural cognitive sociology’ whose work emphasises how collectively shared patterns of recognition and thinking guide and facilitate human judgement. I find two factors to influence knowledge appropriation. On the one hand, the formative dimension of knowledge underscores that experts understand climate knowledge similarly when a sector shares key concepts with climate science. If such ‘cognitive links’ are missing, the answers on how heatwaves impact experts’ work are more varied. On the other hand, the performative dimension of knowledge highlights that experts’ eagerness to adapt is influenced by diverging technical, legal, and social possibilities. When experts’ decision scope is large, then uptake of climate knowledge is more fluid. With a more explicit understanding of why sectors differ in their appropriation and integration of climate knowledge into their work, this study is a reminder that only fitting knowledge is of value to sectoral experts.
