In the context of a relatively stable and unchanging society, learning “about” and participating “in” the democratic process allow for tweaking the mechanisms of democracy. In present times, taken for granted democratic practices inadequately address the spirit of democracy as social and environmental changes undergo rapid and unanticipated changes. In the context of a past, present, and futures, democracy’s future/s is a vast, complex system that offers practical and inspirational hope to communal living. Anticipatory futures perspectives explore our relationships with the future beyond that of prediction to understand and develop human capacities to enact necessary and important changes for unknown and unanticipated futures. This paper explores the role of adult education in supporting a deep democracy approach for creating more sustainable, ecological, and just futures by developing our relationship with the broad spectrum of anticipatory futures. }, number={3}, journal={ADULT LEARNING}, author={Barcinas, Susan J. and Fleener, M.

Within adult education, the promise of education, and the possibilities of transformative learning (TL) are often linked to democracy and human freedoms, yet that democratic promise is often left unfulfilled or incomplete. At the same time, futures perspectives coalesce around the strengthening of capacity for adults to change their conceptualizations of and relationships to the future and facilitate skills in navigating discontinuity, complexity, and ambiguity. The inclusion of futures work potentially shifts the TL discourse and may change the ways that we study and support how adults learn, change, and grow through shared human experiences.

It uses futures and social inquiry approaches to explore how post-pandemic times will impact higher education. As a research method, social inquiry connects across social systems to explore complex relationships and impacts, providing a broader perspective of potential influences and synergies of social phenomenon. Social inquiry research shifts focus away from causal affects to explore patterns of connectivity and is therefore an appropriate methodology for futures inquiry. An examination of 141 trends associated with COVID-19 impacts provided the data for futures analyses through a Causal Layered Analysis approach. Three guiding questions including how we can address the challenges and embrace the opportunities of post-pandemic times to create more equitable, inclusive and sustainable higher education futures were explored. Results point to the need to rethink our social metaphors for more equitable and desirable higher education futures.

Of interest is the relationship among curricular explorations, classroom conversations, and students’ ways of being with mathematics. As we problematized the notion of authentic learning, we came to explore Heidegger’s notion of authenticity and its relationship with an open, dynamic curriculum. Heuristic inquiry as a methodological approach informed our exploration of students’ authentic mathematics learning experiences as their being-with-others-in-the-world mathematically. Curriculum Clearings as Being-With-Mathematics Experiences 3 “What is the experience of authentic learning in mathematics?” (Matney, 2004) This question has haunted both of us as we have wrestled with helping our students experience their worlds in mathematical ways. The more we have thought about authentic experiences as related to mathematical explorations, relationships, and understandings, the more we have come to realize there is a gap in the literature as well as our own understandings of what it means to have authentic experiences in mathematics classrooms. Further questions plagued us: How and when do authentic experiences occur? Who has these experiences? And ultimately, why do (or don’t) these experiences occur for some students rather than others? These questions infer a delicate dynamic among individuals, how they experience their world, and disciplinary content such as mathematics. They also create a shadow over the mathematics curriculum, for learning, if connected with authentic experiences, cannot be predicted, controlled, or manipulated. In exploring our questions of authenticity and experience, we engage in critical curriculum pedagogy, challenging the notion that the mathematics curriculum is a set body of knowledge or facts. In our exploration of authentic mathematical experiences we find we are engaging in an aspect of curriculum theorizing as described by Bill Pinar in his book: What is Curriculum Theory? (Pinar, 2004). Curriculum theory is, then, about discovering and articulating, for oneself and with others, the educational significance of the school subjects for self and society in the ever-changing historical moment. (p. 16) Authenticity, as essential to what Whitehead referred to as the “romance” of learning, may be an important and overlooked aspect of curriculum theorizing, especially as the notion of authenticity challenges our ideas about the relationship among the curriculum, self, and society. Likewise, within the inquiry process, we provide the spaces for our students to explore for themselves the meanings they have enjoyed of mathematical ways of being. Problematizing Authenticity As we explored the meanings of authenticity, we found many current uses of the word in curriculum and pedagogical discourses to be problematic. Most explorations of authenticity found in the educational literature referred to “real-world” experiences, for example as “the quality of having correspondence to the real world,” (Petraglia, 1998, p. 165) or referenced activities, rather than Curriculum Clearings as Being-With-Mathematics Experiences 4 experiences, that were “meaningful.” The notion of “authentic learning” as tied to curricular activities was especially problematic for us. Tied to “real world” activities, authentic learning experiences have become central to curricular reform efforts. For example, the role of authentic activities as real-world activities in constructivist approaches to the curriculum, has been a focus in mathematics since the first set of standards were published by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in 1989 (NCTM, 1989). We knew from our experiences as high school mathematics teachers that abstract mathematical ideas from number theory could be as “authentic” for our students as figuring out how many gallons of paint were needed to paint your room and, in fact, were often more “authentically” engaging than these “real-world” problems. Likewise, we knew from our experiences with our students that authenticity did not reside in the curriculum but was an experience of students that could not be predicted or controlled. An activity that, for one group of students, was particularly engaging might not be perceived as relevant or interesting to another group of students or for any particular student within various groups of students. And interest, relevance, and understanding were, we came to believe, not at all the same as authenticity, even though we were still trying to formulate what “authenticity” may mean. Our explorations of the notion of authenticity as an experience our students have, as the “ahaa” moments of awe and romance, where time and space become irrelevant and student’s are driven by their own need to know rather than the requirement to complete an activity or lesson, led us to the phenomenological writings of Heidegger. Theoretical Framework: Complex Self and Authenticity We found Heidegger’s development of the idea of authenticity in relationship to the articulation of self to be helpful in framing and interpreting our research on mathematics students’ experiences of authenticity. Heidegger’s perspective challenges the view that authenticity is a quality of the world, or, in our case, of the curriculum. In order to understand how he uses authenticity, it is necessary to explore his evolving meanings of Da-sein. We focused on Heidegger’s development of this idea as he presented it in Being and Time. Although he continued to explore and challenge his own ideas of Da-sein in later works, it is in Being and Time that he deliberately and most extensively considered the relationship between Dasein and authentic experience. Curriculum Clearings as Being-With-Mathematics Experiences 5 The meaning of Da-sein cannot be given as a simple definition and Heidegger’s use of the idea changes throughout his discussion of it. The concept of Da-sein, of a person’s being-in-the-world, is central to ontological arguments about individuation and identity. Starting with a literal understanding of the word, “Da” means “here” and “sein” means “to be”. So a literal translation of the word, Da-sein, is “to be here” – an ontological claim. Heidegger’s use of the term, however, places the individual in the world in a way that conflates traditional ontological and epistemological boundaries. This becomes particularly apparent as he challenges traditional neo-Platonic views of self as “ousia” or individual substance, replacing and developing his idea of self as “the dynamic absence which lets a living being manifest its appearances” (Zimmerman, 1981). Da-sein, then, is an unfolding of self, of self-in-relation-to-the world and dynamic absence of self negates the simplicity of self-as-being-in-the-world, separate from the relationships that are the becoming of self. Again, the ontological and epistemological merge as our being-in-the-world is ongoing relationship and meanings. Da-sein, then, is the embodiment of being-in-relationship. It is the manifestation of being, or, as Mitchell (2001) explains it: Da-sein is like a space in which things let themselves be seen. If the phenomenal world is like a wood crowed with trees then Da-sein is the clearing in the forest, the space in which phenomena are made manifest. (p.140) This notion of spacing, of dynamic absence, is very different from the idea of self as a place holder, that is, individuated self as existing in space and time. It is not a matter of occupying space, but of creating spaces, clearings in the woods, being-in-the-world. Thus, rather than being as primary, according to Heidegger, what we typically define as self is really secondary, a relationship we experience as we encounter other, just as we come upon the clearing in the woods and recognize it. The “it” we recognize is only an “it” in relation to the woods. Heidegger argues that we lose the sense of being-in-the-world when we abstract being from context, defining self as the clearing, for example, without recognizing the relationships that are the clearing. “The being-in-itself of inner worldly beings is ontologically comprehensible only on the basis of the phenomenon of world” (Heidegger, 1996, p. 76). And an important aspect of our being-in-the-world is Curriculum Clearings as Being-With-Mathematics Experiences 6 our being-with-others in the world. “[The world] is always already the one I share with the others. The world of Da-sein is a with world” (Heidegger, 1996, p. 118, emphasis added) . This notion of “being-withness” becomes important as we elaborate on Heidegger’s ideas about authenticity. Da-sein as a being-in-the-world, being-with the world, chooses to act. Thus, the manifestation of Da-sein, the choices we make as we go about being-in-the-world, is fundamentally Dasein. Authentic Da-sein, then, is an orientation to the world, a being-in-the-world, that embraces our being-with-others. This relationship of self and other, of Da-sein and the “they-self” is described by Mitchell (2001): Then we encounter the world we have a choice; to stand out in relation of Being-with, to impose our own possibilities on the world, and to give our own meanings to entities we find as equipment, or to accept what we find and to attempt to dissolve distantiality and submerge our own Da-sein into that of “the they.” (p.132) Authenticity and inauthenticity, for Heidegger, are therefore ways of being-in-the-world while being-withothers. Authenticity as experience, therefore, confounds common notions of authentic learning as residing in the lessons, materials, or activities, per se. Understanding students’ experiences of authenticity requires an exploration into their “being-with” others. Authentic experiences of mathematics, thus, from this Heideggerian perspective, are ways of being-with mathematics, of participating in the world of mathematics, an orientation toward mathematics that creates a way of being-in-the-world m}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Fleener, M.

A group of 16 teachers participated in a three-semester PLC over the 2008-2009 school years to develop master mathematics teachers in a school district in Beijing, China. The goal of the PLC, as identified by the teachers, was to improve instruction for greater student autonomy, creativity, and problem solving as they developed their master capacity building skills and networked relationships. This paper explores what has happened to these 16 teachers six years later, specifically considering how they may have used technology to further their development as master teachers. This study shows the potential of a PLC for self-adaptive, emergent behaviors and understandings that are instructional for transforming teaching practices, sustaining changes in teaching practices and preparing students for 21st century engagements.}, booktitle={Digital Transformation and Innovation in Chinese Education}, publisher={IGI Global}, author={Fleener, Jayne and Lu, Lianfang and Dun, Jian and Mingquan, Yang}, pages={80–99} }
