Abstract:

Through learning environments such as the Philosophy for/with Children´s (P4wC) methodology, young people share a common philosophical issue and face a collective path of research towards a(some) possible answer(s). The article introduces the P4wC framework, linked to the studies of uncertainty in sustainability education, on a research experience with a group of teenagers of a public school in Washington DC. Where it is analyzed through the uncertainty competences proposed by Tauritz, 2019, how P4wC can develop a type of experience that educates in coping with uncertainty together with others.  And thus, suggesting not only a collective way in which students address a common question, but also a methodology that includes, works and it is developed in the uncertainty of unfinished answers. Such as the world we live in.
