This study aims to contribute to the ongoing scholarly conversation about education through the lenses of the German philosophy of "Bildung" and the American philosophy of pragmatism. More concretely, in this article, the two philosophies are represented by the traditions of critical-constructive "Didaktik," based on Wolfgang…

This study examined secondary agricultural education teachers' perceptions and implementation of SAE and the SAE for All framework. Since the rollout of SAE for All in 2018, little research has been conducted about its implications for school-based agricultural education (SBAE). A census of SBAE teachers in seven Midwest states was conducted in…

Purpose: This study draws on Bruno Latour's work, "Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime," to re-imagine issues of climate change in K-12 science teaching and learning. "Re-turning" to a dwelling place can become an investigation, while issues of gender, race, education, food, technology, and religion can be…

This paper documents how the limit concept is treated in high school, at a university and in teacher education in England, France and Sweden. To this end we make use of vignettes, data-grounded accounts of the situation at the three levels in the three countries. These are analysed using the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD). While…

We investigate the impact of attending a free school in England -- that is, a new start-up school that enjoys considerable autonomy while remaining in the state sector. We analyse the effects of two secondary free schools with different teaching philosophies: one follows a 'no excuse' paradigm, while the other one adopts a 'classical liberal',…

The notion of "Bildung" has been booming in several European countries for almost twenty years now, but it has attracted little attention in vocational education. One reason for this is that "Bildung," the process of becoming human as a goal in itself, is understood in opposition to vocational education, which task would be to…

In line with Andrew Culp's work "Dark Deleuze" (2016) and in opposition to the tendency in some education studies communities to selectively engage affirmative and vitalist dimensions of Deleuze's work, this article engages the radical critical theory foundation of "Anti-Oedipus" (1972/2009) by exploring anatomies of desire at…

Across the nation, schools and districts are looking for effective and sustainable teacher recruitment and retention strategies. This study examines a teacher residency program throughout four high-needs districts of a year-long teacher residency program. Using three types of data, we collate residents' responses and present individual case…

With heightened equity pursuits in 21st century schools and the key role of assessment in teachers' concerns with educational equity, scholars have recently attempted to empirically investigate teachers' conceptions of fairness in classroom assessment. This study contributes to this growing literature and draws on interview data from 27…

This paper critiques recent developments in educational discourse through an analysis of two UK Government White Papers and three specific problems. We argue that the latter herald forms of 'biocreep'. Echoing the analysis of such phenomena in the work of Michel Foucault, this gradual extension of 'biopolitics' into the field of education is a…

This study investigates what mathematicians, who teach academic mathematics courses to secondary school mathematics teachers, want to teach them about the discipline of mathematics. Data sources included interviews with five research mathematicians. The data analysis revealed that expanding teachers' knowledge about the discipline of mathematics…

Education is based on a process that attempts to profile individual behavior via learning. Although this process includes formal and informal dimensions, it could be suggested that both dimensions are effective on the behavior of the individual. Several factors affect the educational process. These variables are significant determinants that…

This paper comprises a re-reading of the 1955 novel by John Wyndham, "The Chrysalids," in conversation with philosopher Rosi Braidotti's formation of critical posthumanism. The author argues that such re-readings of curricular fixtures within secondary English classrooms constitutes a necessary pragmatic intervention in a school system…

Therefore, we choose to analyze the book using curricular research tools. We searched for similarities between the curricular…
