摘要
Approaches to cross-cultural learning within education curricula have predominantly focused on events of history, object, rituals and practices. We argue that there is a need to encourage deeper approaches of learning that engage affective and cognitive aspects, and that digital tools have an important role in scaffolding this form of learning. We ran a digitally supported Enquiry Based Learning (EBL) activity in two schools in India and England. Students in the two schools conducted real-world research and used the information to design a knowledge artefact using a digital content-creation tool. Our study establishes that a combination of EBL and relevant digital tools nurtures peer-based, real-world enquiry and fosters deep learning which we reckon are key requisites to embed meaningful cross-cultural knowledge in school curriculum.
