Braun, Guilherme Junior; Potgieter, Ferdinand Jacobus – Christian Higher Education, 2019
In this article, we attempt to justify and present the basic presuppositions of a (Christian) confessional and narrative vision for philosophy of education in a postmodern context. We argue that although the nihilistic strand of postmodernity challenges the viability of religious discourse, postmodernity also re-opens the world toward its…

Koomen, Marten – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2020
This article addresses Habermas' method of "rational reconstruction" in the context of the competing approaches of "postmodernism" and "neoliberalism."

Forrest, Kristy – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
The student as consumer has emerged as a common motif and point of contestation in educational philosophy over the past two decades, as part of the critique of the neoliberal educational reform agenda that followed Lyotard's (1984) mapping of the postmodern condition. In addition, the consumer-orientated student has assumed a problematic presence…

Irwin, Jones – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2018
The origins of philosophy of education as a discipline are relatively late, and can be traced in the Anglo-American academic world from the 1960s and a specific emphasis on conceptual problems deriving from the analytical tradition of philosophy. In more recent years, however, there has been a notable 'Continentalist' turn in the discipline,…

Gökmen, Muhammed Fatih – Online Submission, 2023
Proposed by Ivan Illich in the 1970s, the deschooling society was one of the most contentious and radical thoughts in education in terms of its critics against compulsory education around the globe and proposals in the name of networks in which everyone in need of learning and teaching can participate to learn and teach anywhere and anytime…

Rubin, Daniel Ian – New Educator, 2018
Independent, critical thought has never been more important in the United States. In the Age of Trump, political officials spout falsehoods called "alternative facts" as if they were on equal footing with researchable, scientific data. At the same time, an unquestioning populace engages in acts of "willful ignorance" on a daily…

Translanguaging claims to advance social justice as a transformative pedagogy.

Stickney, Jeff A. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2012
Over a decade after publication of "Thinking Again: Education After Postmodernism" (1998) contention still emerges among Foucaultians over whether discursively made-up things really exist, and whether removal of the constituent subject leaves room for agency within techniques of caring for the self. That these questions are kept alive shows that…

Martin, Fran; Griffiths, Helen – British Educational Research Journal, 2012
This paper critically analyses the neo-liberal discourse informing global education policy and practice. We use postcolonial theory to deconstruct the contexts for global educational partnerships, highlighting how issues of power and representation are central to their development and the learning that takes place within them. Teacher development…

Jones, Tiffany – American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2011
Sexuality education debates are layered with discourses based on markedly different constructions of sexuality. Rather than seeing these discourses as purely oppositional, this article frames them as complex and varied. It provides a new framework for understanding sexuality education which differentiates 28 discourses by orientation to education,…

Kwak, Duck-Joo – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2008
The contemporary educational discourse on critical thinking, as one of the primary aims of education, has been divided into the spheres of modernist defense and post-modernist criticism. Critical of both positions, this paper attempts to find a new way of employing critical thinking, especially for the purposes of moral education, by drawing on…

Roberts, Peter – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2003
In the years following Paulo Freire's death in May 1997, there has been no shortage of published material on his work. From brief tributes and biographical accounts to full-length critiques in academic journals and books, much has been written about this influential scholar and activist. Part of the explanation for this ongoing interest lies in…
