Children of the Anthropocene in Urban Places and Their Learning with the Milieu.
This paper aims to move from a theoretical towards the practical possibility of grasping how learning with the Milieu emerges from children's and young people's perspectives as they live and learn primarily in urbanized places.

The potential for learning in urbanized environments as Milieus is revealed by examining specific learning experiences in two different contexts: in Lithuanian educational institutions, where children learn through a phenomenon-based methodology, and in cases where children and young people engage in climate activism outside formal education settings. The children's and youths' experiences of being and/or learning in urbanized environments demonstrate that they are directly connected to them as milieus. Learning within these environments potentially becomes an opportunity for active, affective engagement, creativity, and the development of equal relationships with everything that surrounds them (human and nonhuman) within and beyond specific urban places. Furthermore, an urbanized place as a milieu allows children and young people to connect with and expand their awareness of the world beyond their immediate surroundings. The paper also highlights different conditions necessary for urbanized places to become learning environments with the milieu possibility. Straipsnyje einama nuo teorinio milieu arba terpės koncepto ugdyme apmąstymo link galimybės realiai užčiuopti mokymosi iš terpių steigtį vaikams ir jaunuoliams būnant ir mokantis konkrečiose urbanizuotose vietose. Antropoceno vaikų mokymosi urbanizuotose vietose kaip terpėse galimybės atskleidžiamos nagrinėjant konkrečias mokymosi patirtis dviejuose skirtinguose kontekstuose: švietimo įstaigose vaikams mokantis pagal fenomenais grįstą metodiką bei vaikams ir jaunimui įsitraukus į klimato aktyvizmo veiklas už švietimo įstaigų ribų. Analizuojamos konkrečios vaikų ir jaunuolių buvimo ir / ar mokymosi patirtys rodo, kad jie yra betarpiškai susiję su urbanizuotomis vietomis kaip terpėmis. Mokymasis terpėse potencialiai tampa jų aktyvaus, afektiško veikimo ir kūrybiškumo, lygiaverčio santykio su viskuo, kas juos supa konkrečiose vietose ir už jų ribų, kūrimo galimybe. Be to, urbanizuota vieta kaip terpė apima galimybę vaikui / jaunuoliui priartinti ir už jos ribų egzistuojantį pasaulį ir tokiu būdu šią terpę plečia. Tyrimai atskleidžia, kad konkrečios urbanizuotos vietos kaip terpės, kurioje būtų mokomasi, steigčiai svarbios kelios sąlygos. Pirma, būtinas vietos apibrėžtumo ir stabilumo pakeitimas, kuomet ji įgauna naujų ypatybių ir galimybių. Antra, svarbus individualumo / vienišumo peržengimas, kai kiekvienas (-a) jaučiasi kuriantis (-i) santykį, kuris yra lygiavertis ir kuriame trinamos ribos arba turima hierarchija. Trečia, buvimui ir mokymuisi terpėse aktualus afektiškumas, kuris nukreiptas ne tik į save, bet ir į kitus. Ketvirta, urbanizuotai vietai kaip mokymosi terpei aktualu peržengti ribas į kitas aplinkas (tarkime, iš socialinės aplinkos peržengti į gamtinę aplinką). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Problems / Problemos is the property of Vilnius University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
