This issue of Literacy and Numeracy Studies farewells one of our founding editors, Rosie Wickert. Rosie was instrumental in bringing the predecessor journal Open Letter to the University of Technology, Sydney in 1997, and giving it a new name and life as Literacy and Numeracy Studies: An international journal in the education and training of adults. Rosie brought to the Journal her strong commitment to developing a research informed field of adult literacy and numeracy in Australia, and her own strong research and policy engagement in the field. Even after her retirement from the University, Rosie continued her active involvement in the Journal. On behalf of the editorial group, I wish to express our deepest thanks to Rosie for her tireless work with the Journal.

AbstractThis study contends that phenomenography offers both a useful research method and practical tools for developing education and training for career practitioners. After introducing the basic principles of phenomenography, the study reviews previous research on its potential in developing pedagogical practices. It explores how the phenomenographic findings were utilized to design an online skills training programme for career practitioners. The study finds that phenomenographic research serves three practical pedagogical purposes: (1) revealing how learners understand certain concepts or phenomena, (2) elucidating how these understandings differ; and (3) identifying critical aspects in helping learners to widen and deepen their understanding.

Green energy is promoted via education and training. In education, concepts are the cornerstone in knowledge creation. Comparative analysis in the present paper assists in the discovery of patterns of processes of conceptual change. The aim of this paper is to compare processes of conceptual change underpinning the enhancement of implementation of green energy education and training. Our motivation here is to identify an efficient process of conceptual change for the enhancement of implementation of green energy education and training. The novelty of the research presented in this paper lies in the formulated implications for research and practice devoted to the efficient implementation of green energy education and training.
