Alma Jahic Pettersson; Kristina Danielsson; Carl-Johan Rundgren – Research in Science Education, 2025

Neuman, Ari; Guterman, Oz – Educational Studies, 2022
In the late 20th century, an interesting phenomenon appeared on the landscape of western education: parents chose to educate their children at home rather than send them to school.

McMahon, Samantha; Stacey, Meghan; Harwood, Valerie; Labib, Nada; Wong, Alexandra; Daniels-Mayes, Sheelagh – Critical Studies in Education, 2023
In both academic and policy spaces, learning is often cast as lifelong, dynamic, constructive and in particular, agentic. Despite this focus students' voices are rarely privileged in these spaces -- especially in policy. We respond to this oversight by deploying Foucault's theories of knowledge to explore how students understand themselves as…

Howard Scott; Monaster Ujvari; Aida Mohammad Ali Bakeer; Khaled Shanaa – Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2025
This paper postulates how connected learning in Palestine is characterised by the metaphor of "Sumud" as a steadfast resistance to disruption.

Rodríguez-Cuadrado, Sara; Ojedo, Fernando; Vicente-Conesa, Francisco; Romero-Rivas, Carlos; Sampedro, Miguel Ángel Carlos; Santiago, Julio – Second Language Research, 2023
Several studies have explored the use of iconic gestures to improve the learning of foreign vocabulary. In this quest, words for abstract concepts have been largely neglected, under the assumption that abstract concepts have poor or non-existent sensory-motor representations. Yet, the Conceptual Metaphor Theory suggests that they are grounded on…
