When confronted with sustainability challenges, students are likely to grapple with complexity. Conflicts of interests and dilemmas may be at the forefront. Scientific knowledge may not have an obvious role or self-evident authority in societal concerns involving science. Different people perceive the problem in different ways (thus there might not even be an agreement regarding what a relevant question to ask is).
Recognizing how students connect with and transform contextual resources as encounters with texts, places, social events, people and institutional settings is important for supporting students in their inquiries in open schooling designs. The presentation introduces concepts and methods to support teachers in assessing students' narratives of open schooling encounters.
