Yan Zhang – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2024
A well-written argumentative essay requires a thorough analysis of the topic with sufficient supporting evidence.

What can educators working to develop critical thinking (CT) in their classrooms gain from engaging with the German/Scandinavian tradition of Bildung-centred Didaktik?

Felicitas Kuebler; Tobias Schopper – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
The focus of this paper is the affective dimension of far-right discourses which we consider challenges for teaching. The rise of the far-right in many parts of the world has led to a growing body of work in the social sciences. However, as the topic has become the subject of academic scrutiny its controversial nature also demands a debate on…

Commemorations are events or actions that honour and memorialize significant events, people, and groups from the past.

Sue Lyle – Analytic Teaching and Philosophical Praxis, 2018
In this paper I argue that at this time of ecological crisis, ethics should infuse all teaching and learning, and Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (ESDGC) should be an overarching planning tool. I make the case for Philosophy for Children (P4C) to be integrated into the whole curriculum rather than be a stand-alone…

Current political and social climates have pushed conversations about equity and inclusion to the forefront.

Rubin, Daniel Ian – New Educator, 2018
Independent, critical thought has never been more important in the United States. In the Age of Trump, political officials spout falsehoods called "alternative facts" as if they were on equal footing with researchable, scientific data. At the same time, an unquestioning populace engages in acts of "willful ignorance" on a daily…
