Jessica M. Cassidy; Michael T. Willoughby – Child Development Perspectives, 2025
Early childhood is characterized by rapid increases in both motor skills and executive function skills.

Anna Sparrman – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2025
This article examines how we as researchers in a constantly changing world can challenge ourselves by 'unlearning' what we know, and perhaps take for granted, about children.

Marloes Hoencamp; John Exalto; Abraham de Muynck; Doret de Ruyter – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2025

Andrea De Vincenti – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2025
This article discusses how a gender-historical perspective may still be productive in today's historiography of education. In doing so, it relies on theoretical approaches developed in feminist and gender-historical debates and in debates about the ontological turn in historiography. Categories are thus understood as "world-giving" and…
