Tasquier, Giulia; Branchetti, Laura; Levrini, Olivia – Contributions from Science Education Research, 2019
The paper is framed within a broader research programme aimed at investigating how science education can enhance the formation of what we call future-scaffolding skills: the abilities to construct visions of the future that support possible ways of acting in the present with one's eye on the horizon. To this end, we designed a module (targeted at…

Evans, A. B.; Bright, J. L.; Brown, L. J. – Sport, Education and Society, 2015
Frequently an unquestioned belief is held in British schools in the value of "normalized" ability in physical education (PE). Consequently inclusion of disabled students can be problematic. Negative perceptions of disability are rarely challenged. This study investigated the embodied experiences of 49 non-disabled secondary school pupils…
