Goals
"The article aims to contribute knowledge about the characteristics of young people’s meaning-making in conversations about environmental and sustainability issues in an online community. We believe that this knowledge is vital in order to understand the challenges of pluralistic and participatory approaches and how students make meaning in classroom discussions in ESE. Our ambition here is to initiate a discussion about the educational implications of social media by understanding social media as a space for public pedagogy. We also want to demonstrate how EMA can be used to analyse digital conversations." (Authors, 467)
