(2018) Interdisciplinary place-based learning in urban education, Dordrecht, Springer.
Traditionally, the focus of theories and practices of place-based education (PBE) has been the natural environment. This chapter discusses urban and digital environments as incubators of PBE goals. The interpretive framework is based on the lifeworld, personalistic attitude, noesis, and noema concepts from Edmund Husserl's Ideas I and II. Urban and virtual places are both built, and this affects the learner's interactivity and engagement. The chapter uses Husserl's insights to analyze how different field sites affect the curriculum. It looks at the interplay between the learner and natural environments, urban built places, virtual places, and the "space" of an online forum, which Husserl sees as expressions of both noesis and noema. There is commonality in these places in which learners understand and solve problems.
