キーワード：disaster resilience education, children and young people, geography, bush fire, natural hazards
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction states that ‘children and youths are agents of change and should be given the space and modalities to contribute to disaster risk reduction, in accordance with legislation, national practice and educational curricula’.
Australia is subject to regular natural hazards events that cause significant impacts on human, social, community and economic structures. Each year in the State of New South Wales, 100,000 Stage 3 Geography students (Years 5 & 6) study how bush fire affects people, place and the environment. Students apply Inquiry Learning approaches to explore bush fire issues, identify authentic problems, and work on local solutions.
Outside content experts such as NSW Rural Fire Service volunteer fire fighters support Teachers to deliver education outcomes and disaster resilience education activity. However, there is no understanding of the enablers and barriers to consistent, sustained and quality support from fire fighters. There is also no understanding of the extent fire fighter experts contribute to student learning.
This research study will apply Case Study methodologies to identify and explore in-depth the disaster resilience education practices being applied by classroom teachers, the contribution of outside content experts to the classroom, and what disaster resilience education learning outcomes can be attributed to those fire fighter experts.
The research study will benefit policy makers and emergency services whose experts are engaged with school teachers and students about disaster risk reduction in any natural hazard setting.
