Document Summary

Short answer (answer 5 out of the ten offered) Deep ecology has an appreciation for indigenous cultures. Connection between the people and the land. They don"t want to waste resources, they want to conserve them. They want to cultivate a close identification between the people and the natural world. Deep ecology is not only a philosophy, a methodology, but also a form of activism. When you recognize the problem you want to take action and make a change. Approaches ecological issues by involving the community and its connections to the natural world versus the individualist view. To perfect nature, humans gotta get out of it. The associations nature has are what make it sacred. Narratives are mobile when they are embedded in a text, but for indigenous traditions nature is their sacred text. Sacred space is articulated in different ways and valued in different ways from indigenous places.

In the late 1990s, Dr Chris Sarra became the first Aboriginal principal of Cherbourg State School where he made significant changes to the way that Indigenous students experienced education. Dr Sarra challenged the whole school community to have high expectations of Indigenous students and fostered the ‘strong and smart’ approach which embraced a strong and positive sense of what it means to be Aboriginal in contemporary Australian society. This success led to the formation of the Stronger Smarter Institute (formerly known as the Indigenous Education Leadership Institute) which was established in 2005 as an innovative partnership between Education Queensland and the Queensland University of Technology.

The Institute seeks to achieve scale in delivering the Stronger Smarter approach to as many Indigenous students possible by partnering with, and working through, school and community leaders.

Learning context What happens when you ask 24 school & community leaders from the Jervis Bay region what Stronger Smarter means to them? Summarise the Sarra approach. Thinking about how this will help inform your practice and ensure that you are able to meet Standard 1.4?

May you please explain the answers to the following question with support from concepts?

This course is called “Ecology and Evolution”. How does ecology drive evolution? How does evolution influence ecology?

What is a scientific theory? How are quantitative models used to advance scientific theory? Pick either the HW law or the exponential growth equation and explain how variations of the model have been used to advance evolutionary and/or ecological theory.

Evaluate “survival of the fittest” as a definition of natural selection and biological evolution. Why is this an unsatisfactory definition?

Various concepts have been proposed for things such as populations, species, niches, and communities. Why are these sorts of questions ultimately philosophical (esp. metaphysical) rather than biological? In formulating your response, use (at least) one of the above concepts as an example.

Evaluate “accumulated history” as a definition of biological evolution. How does this definition compare to other definitions that were presented in the course? In your response, be sure to incorporate some discussion of the concept of exaptation, as well as the importance of historical contingency in micro and macroevolution.
