Gibbs, Paul – Oxford Review of Education, 2019
Although there has been considerable debate in contemporary literature on the erosion of the public good in higher education, most of it has been concentrated on the word 'public' rather than on the notion of 'good'. Further, the idea of higher education and the organisations for its delivery have become conflated through a focus on the 'good' as…

Sta. Maria, Joseph Emmanuel D. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2017
In this article, I show how resources for an education for non-dichotomous thinking can be drawn from the two Daoist texts, the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi. Dichotomous thinking can be defined as thinking that considers things in terms of strict and even irreconcilable dichotomous oppositions. The authors of the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi are known…

Alex Koenig – Journal of Education in Muslim Societies, 2021
Worldwide, educators are acknowledging the need for interventions that go beyond traditional academic objectives and focus instead on the whole child. But for this acknowledgment to turn into action, more work needs to be done to determine what the new Social Emotional Learning (SEL) objectives should be, what strategies can be used to teach these…

Hausen, Jennifer E. – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2019
In contemporary culture, it is natural to think that purchasing and owning the "right" possessions results in happiness. This belief supports our loyalty to consumer society. However, several lines of research demonstrate that high consumption lifestyles and materialistic values are not a trustworthy path to well-being. Instead,…

Keenan, Barry C. – Frontiers of Education in China, 2014
Educational values in both the United States and in China have suffered from the social and political reach of economic markets in each society. The models for counteracting the marketization of values in higher education can however be found in each country's past educational traditions. Surprisingly, the developmental values inherent in small…

Thorburn, Malcolm – Oxford Review of Education, 2014
In recent years there has been a heightened interest in educating for well-being; the belief that even when beset by economic gloom, schools can be a civilising force for good and can help make young people's lives more fulfilling and meaningful. However, the relative lack of conceptual analysis on well-being values and how they can flourish in…

Pouwels, Jan; Biesta, Gert – Education Sciences, 2017
This paper is about the notion of conflict in the work of John Dewey. Special attention is given to "Democracy and Education" (1916) because of its centennial and its acclaimed status of "magnum opus". After depicting "conflicts as gadflies" that stir thinking--reflection and ingenuity--and relating it to Socrates, in…

Marshall, Aaron; Thorburn, Malcolm – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2014
This article argues, from a critical realist perspective, that it would be beneficial to extend thinking on how personal and social education could become more central to students' learning. We explore how constructive-informed arrangements which emphasize cognitive skills and affective qualities could be realized through experiential…

In order to be able to compete in an increasingly competitive graduate labour market students need to develop their 'personal capital'. Participation in a range of relevant extracurricular activities (ECAs) is a key element to the development of personal capital. This paper carried out in-depth interviews with undergraduates in the first and final…

Blank, Jolyn – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2012
This article explores a double-bind in early schooling: a persistent value placed upon presenting multicultural art forms to a child constructed as incapable of grasping what is not familiar. The author argues that this bind is situated within dominant developmental discourses that emphasize the appropriateness of concrete and sequential…

Allison, Peter; Von Wald, Kris – Pastoral Care in Education, 2010
Travel and overseas experiences, particularly those involving some form of outdoor education, are regarded by many young people, parents, university admissions and employers as somehow beneficial to a young person's development.
