Pouwels, Jan; Biesta, Gert – Education Sciences, 2017
This paper is about the notion of conflict in the work of John Dewey. Special attention is given to "Democracy and Education" (1916) because of its centennial and its acclaimed status of "magnum opus".

Kusznirczuk, John – Australian Association for Research in Education (NJ1), 2012

This article explores the relationship between research and teaching, arguing that each of them is both a demanding science and an imaginative art, and that they both manifest the values and processes of learning, the open mind and the open heart, as it were. This is a rather different proposition from the notion that "evidence" can be "applied"…

The paper suggests that a problem-based approach to professional education is…
