Jones, Jo – English in Australia, 2017
This essay expresses a profoundly ambivalent response to the legacy of Dartmouth, particularly Dixon's "Growth" Model of English.

Khantine-Langlois, Françoise; Munier, Valérie – Physics Education, 2016
Several studies show that students experience more and more difficulties managing the measurements of electrical values in alternating current and that they have trouble making links between theory and practice. They find it difficult to give meaning to root mean square (RMS; or effective) values, which are not understood as average values and are…

Tamilselvi, B.; Geetha, D. – Journal on School Educational Technology, 2015
Multiple intelligence is the theory that "people are smart in more ways than one has immense implication for educators".

Simmons, Robin – Oxford Review of Education, 2016
This paper revisits the liberal studies movement, a significant feature of the English further education (FE) sector from the 1950s until the beginning of the 1980s. Its central argument is that liberal and general studies (LS/GS) and similar provision offered a vehicle where, at least in some circumstances, certain politically-motivated FE…

Lautesse, Philippe; Vila Valls, Adrien; Ferlin, Fabrice; Héraud, Jean-Loup; Chabot, Hugues – Science & Education, 2015
One of the main problems in trying to understand quantum physics is the nature of the referent of quantum theory. This point is addressed in the official French curriculum in upper secondary school. Starting in 2012, after about 20 years of absence, quantum physics has returned to the national program. On the basis of the historical construction…

Melville, Wayne – School Science Review, 2013
The "Saggi di naturali esperienze" was published in 1667 by one of the earliest scientific societies, the Accademia del Cimento. The book was a triumph for the ruling Medici family of Florence, and the commitment of the Accademia to experimentation helped the "Saggi" become the "laboratory manual" of the 18th century.…

Chambers, Samuel A. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2013
This article examines the significance of Jacques Ranciere's work on pedagogy, and argues that to make sense of Ranciere's "lesson on the lesson" one must do more but also less than merely explicate Ranciere's texts. It steadfastly refuses to draw out the lessons of Ranciere's writings in the manner of a series of morals, precepts or…

Bowman, Paul – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2013
This article explores a minor work by Adrian Rifkin, a work which focuses primarily on his research method of parataxis, but which this article reads for what it offers to a reconsideration of pedagogy, or "teaching and learning". The article argues that Adrian Rifkin has long been a "Rancierean" within UK cultural studies, and…

Mayer, Diane – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2014
In this paper, I analyse the history of teacher education in Australia from 1974 to the current policy moment in which questions are increasingly being asked about the quality of teaching and teacher education. Teacher education is, and has been, a highly scrutinised domain in Australia. Since the 1970s, we have seen more than 100 reviews of…

Wylie, Caitlin Donahue – History of Education, 2012
The blackboard, a useful teaching tool in nineteenth-century England, was transformed into a teaching necessity in the decades following 1870, when the Education Acts made school free and mandatory for all children. The resulting huge population of schoolchildren inspired the development of teaching techniques appropriate for large-group learning.…
