Julien Kloeg; Morten Timmermann Korsgaard – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2025
In this paper, we argue that the attempts to centre education in one of its three constitutive aspects that have long determined the discourse on the purpose and aims of education run the risk of one-sidedness. Theories of student-centred education have been in vogue for many centuries now, having been born out of a polemic against teacher-centred…

Charlie Thompson – Learning Policy Institute, 2023
Entering Oakland International High School is like walking into a brighter and more welcoming world. Conversations in as many as 35 languages float through the sunny courtyard, where students come from nearly as many countries.

Gert Biesta – Scottish Educational Review, 2025
In this article I make the case that in order to understand what is special and distinctive about education, we ought to approach education from the angle of the teacher. I show that this suggestion goes against a current trend in educational discourse, which is to put learners and their learning in the centre of attention. I argue why such a turn…

Krever, Marcy K. – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2020
Walking into her first Mysore Ashtanga yoga class 7 years ago, Marcy Krever encountered an almost-silent room, filled with students trickling in on their own time, each doing their own practice at their own pace. It looked like an amalgam of a richly orchestrated ballet and acrobatics. It also resembled the highly individualized, dynamic,…

Huang, Zhongjing – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2022
Curriculum, as an expression of legitimate knowledge, should be seen as something political rather than technical, that is, as the result of complex power relations and struggles among identifiable stakeholder groups. In Shanghai, curricular reform, which traditionally assumes the crucial task of cultivating responsible citizens, has sought to…

Surr, Wendy B.; Carter, Kim; Stewart, Andrea – Aurora Institute, 2022
We know that the traditional "sit and get" classroom will not help us advance towards educational equity or promote the deeper learning skills our students need to succeed.

Chapter 4 reveals the tensions in ETL--between its transformative orientation and transmission-based implementation--and among different policy actors.
