The present article continues my work in logomachy and the philosophy of education. It turns to Bernard Stiegler's concept of the 'idiotext' as the means of terming what I have previously called 'particular sets of sense'. The gambit of the article is that 'intropy' (uncertainty provoked by informational complexity) provides a very useful concept…

This article develops the ideas of perfection and education in Spinoza and Maimonides. Both thinkers identify human perfection with intellectual knowledge and a transformation in affect. They accordingly envision education in terms of enhancing cognition and shaping the desire to know. The first steps are a critical evaluation of imagination and…

In a yearlong ethnographic study, we actively participated as members of the national planning committee for fourteen local climate conferences, we examined how citizen participation was imagined and enacted. We introduce a framework for studying the relationship between cognitive engagement, learning, and civic engagement in the public sphere. We…

Digitalization can potentially benefit the creative and cognitive development of children. This study aims to analyze this impact on a sample of preschool children. A total of 80 preschoolers were divided into four groups based on their age and program variables: there were two groups (control and training) of children aged 3 to 4 years and two…

This theoretical article examines the crucial role of play-based learning (PBL) in enhancing the mathematical skills of children in the Early Childhood Phase, referred to as Foundation Phase (Grade R-3) learners, within a South African context. The article argues that the traditional approach to teaching early childhood mathematics, where teachers…

As a remedial measure to human-induced climate change, it is imperative to develop intrinsic altruistic values and adequate knowledge of environmental phenomena and behavior to act in favor of the environment. The study aims to assess the effect of an Environmental Education Program (EEP) based on empathy, reflective thinking, and information on…

This study aimed to determine and describe the influence of psycholinguistics and metacognition on the ability of physics education students to use verbal language in the learning process. Quantitative research is used to measure the level of influence between variables, and then the case study is used to determine the sample. Based on the data,…

Giving feedback is key to online collaborative discussion, but the impact of feedback on role-scripts in online discussion remains unclear. To address this research gap, a mixed factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the potential effects and interactions of feedback type (elaborated vs. motivational feedback) and scripted roles (yes…

Human movement plays a foundational role in cognition and learning. This topical collection brings together theoretical and empirical work examining how gestures, physical activity, and virtual movement enhance learning in language, multimedia, and activity-based learning. Regarding language learning, interacting with virtual object improves…

This study analyses the coherent integration of creativity into science education modules for eighth-grade students to enhance competence development. The learning modules' content covered a basic ecological unit about forests, applied as digital or analog lesson. By utilizing the creativity subscales 'Act' and 'Flow' its analysis resulted in a…

Recent studies have indicated that digital platforms cannot amalgamate learning solutions for students with learning disabilities. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on the topic and methods to elaborate on earlier studies on learning disabilities. These findings can help new researchers develop effective…

Studies indicate that integrating digital tools into reading instruction significantly enhances student learning. The OK4R (Overview, Key Idea, Read, Recall, Reflect, Review) method goes beyond teaching reading techniques by fostering a cyclic process of reading and critical reflection. Through OK4R, learners develop both reading strategies and…

Children's gaming preferences, such as the types of games they enjoy, can significantly influence their engagement and learning outcomes. Research has shown that children are more likely to engage deeply and enter flow states when they play games that align with their interests. These preferences encompass specific game types, styles, difficulty…

Algebra is critical in shaping future mathematics success and is integral to the K-12 curriculum. Despite its inclusion, a common challenge arises as students' progress to higher grades without a solid foundation, resulting in challenging learning experiences. This action research study focuses on the algebraic learning experience of a Grade 7…

This study aims to identify similarities in morphological, phonological, lexical, and syntactical aspects between Arabic and English child language. It seeks to understand how children develop grammar at different stages, adhering to the rules acquired at each stage. This research analyzes YouTube videos featuring Arabic and English-speaking…
