Carlin, Andrew P.; Moutinho, Ricardo – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2022
This article takes a conceptual approach to an issue of pedagogical relevance--the presence of "teaching and learning moments" within educational environments.

Sellar, Sam; Zipin, Lew – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2019
This paper analyses how the discursive construction, valuation and subjective experience of human capital is evolving in parallel with crises of capital as a world-system.

Tamboukou, Maria – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2018
In this article, I trace lines of materialist pedagogies in the history of women workers' education following feminist interpretations of Spinoza's assemblage of joyful affects. More particularly, I focus on the notions of "laetitia" [joy], "gaudium" [gladness] and "hilaritas" [cheerfulness] as entanglements of joy…

Marín-Díaz, Dora Lilia – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2017
The article analyses the boom of self-help discourses and their relationship with pedagogic discourses, with the purpose of marking the centrality of the individual in the practices of contemporaneous government.

Bernal, Oscar Orlando Espinel – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2017
Faced with the incessant concern on the part of national and supranational institutions in promoting, expanding, and implementing education on human rights in schools and educational systems, it is necessary to stand back for a moment and review the political and discursive ways in which these projects work and the mechanisms they are based on…

Benade, Leon – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2015
The discourse of twenty-first century learning argues that education should prepare students for successful living in the twenty-first century workplace and society.

The goal of this article is to differentiate initiation from indoctrination, and to return a positive significance to the notion of initiation, as a pedagogy that contributes not only to the perpetuation of a particular form of life or community, but that provides the next generation with means to advance that knowledge beyond its existing…

Gough, Noel – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2004
This paper is a narrative experiment inspired by Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) figuration of the rhizome. It is a textual assemblage of popular and academic representations of cyborgs that might question, provoke, and challenge some of the dominant discourses and assumptions of curriculum, teaching, and learning. Emboldened by Deleuze's penchant…

Deacon, Roger – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2002
Michel Foucault sought to understand how and why it is that people in the West, in their arduous and incessant search for truth, have also built into and around themselves intricate and powerful systems intended to manage all that they know and do. While little of Foucault's work directly concerns itself with the historically recent phenomenon of…

Hyldgaard, Kirsten – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2006
The current cult of the personality of the teacher and personal development as an official goal in education policy documents are problematic as they make it difficult to distinguish a teacher from a seducer, thus blurring the distinction between education and therapy. In order to describe the pedagogical bond proper the article draws on Lacanian…
