@drloriandersen Great wonderings! My take: (1) Given a PRACTICE TURN perspective on 3D learning, multiple ways of knowing directly relate to culturally diverse forms of SEPs in ways that overlap & extend beyond those of the Euro-Western sciences.

This takes us towards…
@drloriandersen (1 cont) But cultural perspectives go beyond epistemic practices—and open up into worldviews involving knowledge (concepts, models, etc), ethics, morals & values. Ontologies & axiologies all get enacted in activity—since there is only praxis as a result of the Practice Turn.

Hey #NGSSchat

If we played the (somewhat serious) game of nominating important science & engineering practices missing from the carefully chosen 8 in #NGSS / Framework, one I would quickly nominate is NOTICING. NOTICING is an embodied & multi-sensorial practice. It is foundational to making sense of & shaping the natural-cultural world.

It supports wondering, pattern-seeking, systems theorizing, seeking relevancies, tending to relations, identifying political connections & the 8 SEPs.
