Dalli, Carmen – Early Childhood Folio, 2018

Haigh, Martin – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2011
Invitational Theory argues that learning is enhanced when learners are positively encouraged or "invited" into the educational experience.

Poortman, Cindy Louise; Illeris, Knud; Nieuwenhuis, Loek – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2011

Carr, David; Skinner, Don – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2009
Perhaps the most pressing issue concerning teacher education and training since the end of the Second World War has been that of the role of theory--or principled reflection--in professional expertise. Here, although the main post-war architects of a new educational professionalism clearly envisaged a key role for theory--considering such…

Hodgson, Naomi – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2009
The use of narrative research is often informed by a commitment to social justice on the part of the researcher. An example of this literature, Morwenna Griffiths' Action for Social Justice in Education: Fairly Different (2003), is taken here to illustrate the understanding of power and the way in which the relationship between theory and practice…

Green, Bill – Australian Educational Researcher, 2010
Education "is" changing, as is knowledge more generally, to a significant degree energised by what has been described as the digital revolution. This has been widely discussed with references to notions such as globalisation, the New Media Age, open access, and the Network Society. Something definitely to be considered is what this could…

Hart, Paul – Teacher Education Quarterly, 2010
When environmental education manifests itself in schools, it is usually a simple matter of the insertion of an environment-related activity into the science, or perhaps social studies, curriculum. However, if one finds a teacher who has "the ethic," the entire school might be "green." The fact that this ethic is spreading…

Helfenbein, Robert J.; Shudak, Nicholas J. – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2009
Many have suggested that issues of democracy are fundamentally related to school curricula and contexts (Conant, 1948; Dewey, 1944; Dimitriadis and Carlson, 2003; West, 2004). Current social theorists have suggested that a globalized social, economic, and cultural structure has necessitated a rethinking of the relationships between individuals,…

In this article, three theoretical perspectives are used to extend Bulterman-Bos's (2008) argument regarding a clinical approach to education research. First, three intellectual virtues identified by Aristotle--"episteme," "techne," and "phronesis"--are related to the requirements of the "pure" education researcher, the skilled practitioner, and…

Noffke, Susan E. – Educational Researcher, 2008
Three issues emanating from the Bulterman-Bos article (2008) form the core of this commentary. First, the issue of relevancy is addressed from the standpoint of action research and other forms of practitioner inquiry. From this perspective, the divisions between the cultures of university and school are addressed both ways: Each can potentially be…

Shallwani, Sadaf – Online Submission, 2009
In the mainstream discourse on child development and education, 'school readiness' has been conceptualized as the skills and knowledge that children need when they enter school in order to learn effectively in the school environment.
