In this article, I set up a Heideggerian framework of research in order to investigate the phenomenon of "looking at the smartphone screen," focusing especially on "the desire to look," which I see as intricately connected with "the desire to know" and "the desire to be." With a clear phenomenological…

Jones, Raya A. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2012

The case is made with…

Sullivan, Debra R. – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2011

Duffy, Francis M. – International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, 2009
For more than a century the American education system has been guided by the Industrial Age world view (the controlling paradigm) that delivers education services to children by teaching them in groups, by requiring them to learn a fixed amount of content in a fixed amount of time, and by having their teachers serve as center stage directors of…
