Jodi P. Lampi; Leslie S. Rush; Jodi Patrick Holschuh; Todd Reynolds – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2025
In this article, we argue that the goal of reading literary text is the creation of interpretation, and we advocate for a research-based disciplinary literacy heuristic that centers on reading and interpreting literary text. The heuristic serves as a guide for designing instruction that incorporates important instructional principles for…

Maria Hantzopoulos; Monisha Bajaj – International Journal of Human Rights Education, 2024
In this article, we explore a pedagogical and conceptual tool we have refined and developed for the fields of peace, social justice, and human rights education: "the possibility tree." Initially introduced in our 2021 book, we explore this tool in more depth in this article to show how such pedagogical and conceptual processes are key…

de Villiers, Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
It's often useful extending students beyond the limiting geometry of triangles and quadrilaterals to regularly consider generalizations of results for triangles and quadrilaterals to higher order polygons. A brief heuristic description is given here of the author applying this strategy, and which led to an interesting result related to the…

Azada-Palacios, Rowena – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2021
Hannah Arendt has been criticised for the sharp distinction she drew between the social and political realms, and her application of this distinction to schools. In this paper, I demonstrate that this distinction can be interpreted as a heuristic that Arendt developed to address a tension that she had encountered in her attempt to understand…

Jickling, Bob; Blenkinsop, Sean – Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 2020
The first climate change conference was held in 1979 in Geneva and sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization. Since then there have been many other initiatives and accords along the way. Each report appears to present an evermore grim picture than the previous one. Cumulatively, we have had more than enough science to know what to do, and…

Verschaffel, Lieven; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Star, Jon; Van Dooren, Wim – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Word problems are among the most difficult kinds of problems that mathematics learners encounter. Perhaps as a result, they have been the object of a tremendous amount research over the past 50 years. This opening article gives an overview of the research literature on word problem solving, by pointing to a number of major topics, questions, and…

Hausberger, Thomas – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2020
In the spirit of the networking of didactical theories, it is advocated in this presentation in favor of a mixed networking of philosophical theories, namely Husserlian phenomenology and hermeneutics, and didactical theories to produce a fertile interplay between philosophy and mathematics education. The cross-analysis of students' work on a…

Rahman, Elizabeth Ann; Barbira Freedman, Françoise; García Rivera, Fernando Antonio; Castro Rios, Meredith – Oxford Review of Education, 2023
This article provides a descriptive account of the workings of an Indigenous-led teacher training initiative in the Peruvian Amazon (Formabiap) and considers the extent of its transdisciplinary pedagogic approach, with a special focus on the ontological and epistemological stakes of intercultural knowledge exchanges in the context of contemporary…

Bradley, Joff P.N. – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2019
This transversal and transilient thought-experiment explores the application and significance of Japanese animism for environmental education and environmental philosophy. Through the exploration of indigenous knowledge found in Japanese folklore and Japanese Buddhism, the thought-experiment offers a critique of a certain strand of contemporary…

Tobin, Kenneth – Learning: Research and Practice, 2018
I begin with a review of our research on meditation, mindfulness, expressed emotions, and physiological variability while teaching. Then, through the theoretical lenses of polyvagal theory, I examine an event from our ongoing research in which a teacher had very low levels of blood oxygenation. Apparently, her body switched from parasympathetic to…

Wilcox, Steve – American Journal of Play, 2019
Game design offers a unique but often misunderstood pedagogical opportunity. The author draws on learning theory, feminist epistemology, and game studies to analyze a novel genre of games capable of realizing this opportunity by mobilizing knowledge through play--praxis games--founded on the concept of situated praxis. Situated praxis encourages…

Ford, Brian – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
This is the second of three articles on "Sources of Authority in Education". All use the work of Amy Gutmann as a heuristic device to describe and explain the prevalence of market-based models of Education Reform in the United States as part of what Pasi Sahlberg terms the Global Education Reform Movement (GERM). This movement is based…

Liu, Huacong; Metcalfe, Amy Scott – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2016
In this paper, we examine the local conceptions, interpretations, and implementations of internationalization at one Chinese higher education institution, to provide a more complex and nuanced understanding of internationalization in the globalizing educational context. In particular, we explore the analytical capacity of Marginson and Rhoades…

Doussot, Sylvain – Educational Action Research, 2020
Key studies in history education (from France and the USA) are discussed and compared in order to explore their methodological issues in terms of the types of knowledge they can generate about teaching and learning. An epistemological framework that relates the history of historians as an inquiry to that of the classroom provides the criteria for…

Singh, Gurnam – Race, Ethnicity and Education, 2018
Against the backdrop of ongoing discussions about how best to conceptualise, confront and ultimately eradicate racism, this paper seeks to critically examine the relevance of 'post-racial' thinking, both in a general sense, but also in relation to education. The argument is framed around a concern that multi-cultural, and to a lesser extent,…
