Understanding practice architectures in food systems education: A case study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Practice architectures provide a framework for understanding how educators transform theory into action. In a case study based in British Columbia, Canada, participant K-12 educators identified motivations for engaging in food systems education and how these influenced both the content and approaches used in their classrooms. Our study indicates a growing concern among educators for students to understand how food is implicated in a sustainable future and how it connects with an array of environmental, economic, and social issues. Findings from our case study suggest that teachers engage with practice architectures based on specific intentions that shape food systems education.
