Cet article donne un aperçu des réponses et examine les thèmes d’intérêt relevés dans le domaine de l’éducation environnementale.  \nKeywords: environmental education research, emerging trends, research agendas  \nIntroduction  \nIn Ron Meyers et al. (2007), Michael Brody, who had just volunteered to chair the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) Research Commission, describes the impact on him of attending the Seventh Invitational International Seminar on Environmental and Health Education in Anchorage, Alaska in 2003:  \nThis event became my model for the annual NAAEE research symposium. I especially appreciated the openness of the session in Anchorage, the inclusion of “unfinished business” in environmental education research and the participation of many graduate students. (p. 645)  \nSince inception of the invitational seminars, the organizers have deliberately encouraged participants to present work in progress, rather than describing finished studies (see Hart et al. , 2004; Myers et al. , 2007) . To aid the processes of reflection and reflexivity, each seminar has involved novel pedagogic  \n68 Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 15, 2010  \napproaches varying from open space technology 1 sessions (Owen, 2007) to a modification of Charles Darwin’s sand-walk2 (Darwin, n.d.) .  \nThe 2009 invitational seminar held in Montebello, Quebec brought together 36 environmental education researchers and 12 graduate students from countries around the world including Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, France, the Netherlands, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States. The two of us were tasked by Connie Russell, the seminar organizer, to run a session on the final morning, entitled “Reflecting on Conference Themes and Moving Forward.” The overall conference theme was Making a Difference , and subthemes that arose during the week included the theoretical bases of the field of environmental education, human/non-human animal relationships, decolonizing environmental education, moving beyond “low-hanging fruit” in environmental education research, interdisciplinary and academic/community collaboration, and the close relationship of environmental education with social movements as well as other fields such as critical pedagogy and place-based education.  \nTasked with facilitating the final session, we concentrated on encouraging the diversity of voices to forward-think with regard to future research agendas for the field. To that end, we devised a session that we hoped would be concurrently playful and thought-provoking, allowing participants to make a statement reflecting prospective research agendas while also using the pedagogical strategy of constrained choices to force distillation.  \nThe inspiration for","cbCaioK5QH2V536p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioK5QH2V536p","pdf",504015,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Responses","[{\"question\":\"What question did the seminar participants use to guide their activity?\",\"answer\":\"Participants were asked: if you could only write one book and one paper in your life from now on, what would the titles be?\"},{\"question\":\"Why did the organizers encourage work in progress rather than finished studies?\",\"answer\":\"They deliberately promoted presenting work in progress to support reflection and reflexivity during the invitational seminars.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participant responses described and grouped?\",\"answer\":\"Responses were described as insightful and intriguing, and were grouped into categories such as field-related work, educational theory and techniques, diversity and justice, and human/non-human animal relationships.\"}]","Unfinished Business - Writing as if You’re Dying | PDF",1792085127,15]
