Direct linkMayo, Peter – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2022
This paper, rather than providing a comprehensive discussion around Paulo Freire's ideas, focuses on one aspect of his body of work: colonialism.

Olenchak, F. Richard – Gifted Education International, 2022
The dialogues, debates, and even arguments resulting from misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and mishandling of programs and people associated with the term "giftedness" are longstanding. Despite many years of efforts to assuage concerns of equity and need--many of which are legitimized by research evidence, the terminology continues…

Winke, Paula – American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, 2022
Developing advanced proficiency in a second language benefits both learners and the societies to which they belong. Educators, employers, and learners can define advanced level proficiency in a language as being able to use language for academic and professional purposes beyond daily life. But being able to use the language at work is not the only…

The global spread of English has implications for English language teaching (ELT), in which teachers need to prepare learners to use English with culturally diverse English users outside of the classrooms.

Weissbourd, Richard – Educational Leadership, 2018
Surveys show rates of sexual harassment and misogyny among students are high in U.S. secondary schools--yet most schools fail to deal with this problem. Many educators would like to intervene when they hear students use degrading or sexualized language about girls (or LGBTQ youth) or harass them, but don't know how to do so effectively. The…

Haglund, Jesper – Science & Education, 2017
Entropy is often introduced to students through the use of the disorder metaphor. However, many weaknesses and limitations of this metaphor have been identified, and it has therefore been argued that it is more harmful than useful in teaching. For instance, under the influence of the disorder metaphor, students tend to focus on spatial…

Washington, Julie A.; Seidenberg, Mark S. – American Educator, 2021
Teaching reading to children whose language differs from the oral language of the classroom and from the linguistic structure of academic text adds an additional layer of complexity to reading instruction. There is a large and growing body of evidence indicating that language variation impacts reading, spelling, and writing in predictable ways. In…

Coté, Carol A. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2015
This article presents a model for understanding the development of visual perception from a dynamic systems theory perspective. It contrasts to a hierarchical or reductionist model that is often found in the occupational therapy literature. In this proposed model vision and ocular motor abilities are not foundational to perception, they are seen…
