Like technology and technology education (Ankiewicz, 2019a), fashion design as a discipline lacks a scientifically founded, discipline-specific philosophical framework that may hold affordances for fashion designers, research scholars, and curriculum developers. Attempting to develop an autonomous theory for fashion design might be overly…

This empirical article offers a practical framework to complement Sandmann's integrated theoretical model for advancing the praxis of engaged scholarship in higher education institutions. The article introduces a newly developed integrated service-learning praxis (ISLP) approach, which served as a research context for constructing the practical…

This article traces the journey and outcomes of research undertaken by evaluating theoretical wellbeing models and practice research. The findings have culminated in the new Universal Wellbeing Model (UWM). Emerging from this UWM are innovative ways to support and inform higher and wellbeing education and social learning in praxis. The innovations…

Centers for teaching and learning (CTLs) address external and internal factors that influence teaching and learning. To accomplish this, often without additional resources, CTLs need an efficient and effective solution. By combining evidence-based practices in faculty development and a distillation of effective practices at three different…

This article suggests to reflect on the philosophical foundations of Open Education. It reaches out to Bergson's and Popper's respective understandings of Open Society; ontology of immanence, not-yetness; and post-inquiry. It invites to revisit "ethos," "eidos" and "praxis" in Open Education to move away from a…

This dissertation of practice considers the dynamics of identity development of in-service educators and the intersection of their educator role with their other identities in service of orienting toward an anti-racist praxis. The problem of practice addressed centered the theory that educator identity is socially constructed, and identity may…

This book proposes a new way of categorizing curricula in the holistic educational traditional. This is an idea that goes back in the Western tradition at least as far as Plato, and Lao Tzu in the Eastern tradition. It is certainly present in Spinoza and Schopenhauer. It is called a "holarchy". The idea of a holarchy gives rise to…

Entrepreneurship education is pivotal in augmenting entrepreneurial propensity among students in higher vocational institutions, facilitating the emergence of tangible innovative and entrepreneurial activities. However, research on the effects of various entrepreneurial education models on students' entrepreneurial intentions is limited. This…

We consider the following hypothesis: whereas, the institutions in charge of the teaching of mathematics for future professional mathematicians (IPM, in short) share a "didactic paradigm" (strongly based on logical arguments), there does not seem to be such a thing in secondary mathematics education. In this work, we analyse the notion…

This article examines the politics of curriculum design and evaluation in school settings globally. It examines the role of ideology and dominant meta-narratives of standards and academic achievement culture and its impact on education policy, curriculum design and implementation. The article discusses major models of curriculum design and their…

The research presented in this paper aims to shed light on the complex role of mathematics teacher educators who led courses for prospective mathematics teachers. Theoretically, the research combines the documentational approach to didactics and the meta-didactical transposition frameworks, complementing the study with the analysis of the teacher…

Introduction: We propose a visionary working model to normalize the pursuit of social justice praxis in educational psychology courses. Using our undergraduate course as an example, we discuss our roles as instructors, curriculum, and pedagogical strategies for forward progress. Statement of the Problem: Despite stated commitments to diversity,…

The present study seeks to address the dearth of research focussed on childminding (family day care or family childcare) in Ireland, despite its significant role in national childcare provision. One overarching aim was to explore childminders' cultural models of praxis and pedagogy in the Irish context. This research was conducted within the…

In this article, we utilize the Transformational Indigenous Praxis Model (TIPM) to analyze interviews from beginning teachers and teacher candidates in early childhood education who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). Findings revealed that participants developed a degree of consciousness to name the settler-colonial…

The perspectives undergirding student development theory have evolved over time, yet few scholars have examined how various paradigms influence a specific developmental theory. In this literature review, I explored how constructivism, social constructionism, critical paradigms, and critical constructivism have shaped the study of self-authorship.…
