Jason Wallin – Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy, 2024
This essay imagines how the "quasi-philosophy" of Alfred Jarry (1873-1907) might function as a fulcrum for overturning the legacy of "standard" thinking and writing now profuse within the Educacene, or rather, the epoch of globalized educational standardization. This essay will consider how Jarry's pataphysics or "science…

Kouppanou, Anna – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
"Prosthesis" and the "human hand" have been terms used by various philosophers in order to describe the interaction that binds together the human being and the technical artefact -- Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida being among the most important of these philosophers. In Bernard Stiegler's philosophy, however, these notions…

Gonzales, Audilio; Paletta, Francisco Carlos; Vaisman, Coleta; Giraud, Adela – Education for Information, 2019
Currently, modelling of knowledge and skills in a MOOC and the associated instructional and pedagogical engineering process is a major challenge in order to support designers and facilitate learning.

Rodgers, Shannon – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2016
If educators presuppose that brain and mind are synonymous, perhaps it is out of necessity. Such an equivalency might be required in order for mind to be accessible, knowable and a "thing" like the brain is. Such a presupposition, that mind is a thing which we can understand nonetheless rests on an insecure foundation. As suggested by…

Gallagher, Shaun; Lindgren, Robb – Educational Psychology Review, 2015
Building on both cognitive semantics and enactivist approaches to cognition, we explore the concept of enactive metaphor and its implications for learning. Enactive approaches to cognition involve the idea that online sensory-motor and affective processes shape the way the perceiver-thinker experiences the world and interacts with others.…

Amrita; Anisha – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2016
Mira Bai, a saint-poet of North India is an important figure in medieval Hindi literature. Her "bhajan"-s (songs) profoundly represent the transforming of consciousness working through conceptual metaphors which fall in the realm of religious poetry wherein target domains are generally abstract. Since, the working of the mind is more…

Deszcz-Tryhubczak, Justyna; Marecki, Mateusz – Children's Literature in Education, 2015
When put together with the other parts of The Giver Quartet, "Son" (2012), Lowry's recently published concluding book, emerges as an odd exception to the focus on young adult protagonists since it foregrounds the mother's perspective and addresses the issue of motherhood. It presents the reader with at least three conceptual models of…

Rojo, Ana – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2015
Translation has long played a role in linguistic and literary studies research. More recently, the theoretical and methodological concerns of process research have given translation an additional role in cognitive science. The interest in the cognitive aspects of translation has led scholars to turn to disciplines such as cognitive linguistics,…

Pesce, Sebastien – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2014
When trying to help teachers cope with the critical situations they face in classrooms, public policies are mainly concerned with improving initial teacher training. I claim in this article that the role of lifelong learning should no longer be undermined and that the design of teachers' training should be supported by a thorough examination…

The article first compares a personal thinking language to other languages…

Stewart, Georgina – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2015
This article takes "measurement" as a will to determine or fix space and time, which allows for a comparison of ontological models of space and time from Western and Maori traditions. The spirit of "measurement" is concomitantly one of fixing meaning, which is suggested as the essence of the growth of the scientific genre of…

Lacey, Simon; Stilla, Randall; Sathian, K. – Brain and Language, 2012
Conceptual metaphor theory suggests that knowledge is structured around metaphorical mappings derived from physical experience. Segregated processing of object properties in sensory cortex allows testing of the hypothesis that metaphor processing recruits activity in domain-specific sensory cortex. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging…
