Marina presented two talks featuring the preliminary results of the project on wonder in education at the 3rd International Conference of Possibility Studies in Dublin, Ireland which focused on the theme Cultivating the Possible: Reimagining Education and Society. The project resulted in successful UK validations of two new instruments. The Wonder Chart is a newly validated (in the Netherlands and in the UK) measure of primary school children’s wonder and the Wonder-full Education Questionnaire assesses primary school teachers’ ability to foster wonder in the classroom. The results from this work are currently being written up for a peer-review publication.
