This article argues that curriculum work can benefit from signifiers of Bildung to promote democracy in public education. The argument is built on the premise that cultural and intellectual traditions that value Bildung presume a link between the inner cultivation of the individual and the development of better societies (Horlacher 2017). I start…

Presidents have difficult roles regardless of systemic context and in times of crisis their work is especially complex. While the body of work on presidents generally is growing, understanding of their role in crisis is underdeveloped. In this study, we enhance research on presidential crisis leadership by applying the competing values framework…

Aiming to challenge the notion that the ballet lexicon is ahistorical, this study focuses on the ballet classroom. Training plays a vital role in how ballets are performed, and past choreography needs a different approach from that of contemporary ballets. Previous studies of classroom movement, while acknowledging different Schools, have not…

A foundational principle of neo-Aristotelian character education is that virtue can be cultivated, in particular through the emulation of moral role models, such as teachers. Yet despite the pedagogical appeal of role modelling, what emulation involves remains methodologically unclear. In this paper, I suggest that part of this ambiguity lies in a…

Artificial intelligence technologies have become a ubiquitous part of human life. This prompts us to ask, "how should we live well with artificial intelligence?" Currently, the most prominent candidate answers to this question are principlist. According to these approaches, if you teach people some finite set of principles or convince…

Organizational core values set the foundation for defining an organization's purpose and direction. Focusing on core values is important because it can sometimes be easy to forget why an organization exists and overlook its true purpose. Educational leaders and stakeholders should embrace their institution's core values as way for their…

Teachers' judgements and interactions may be influenced by the backgrounds of their students, yet research shows that they may be reluctant to accept evidence relating to such biases. We investigated teachers' perceptions of their own and others' biases and explored whether a brief self-affirmation manipulation--which tends to reduce defensive…

This article advances and illustrates the concept of "leaderhood" and argues for its role in the rediscovery and renewal of the inclusive, future-oriented spirit of the enterprise of education. Leaderhood, with its links to such concepts as "citizenhood", "elderhood", and "parenthood", is intended to convey…

The purpose of this study included systematically identifying commonalities in the leadership qualities of successful principals, analyzing the relationships among these qualities, and studying how the qualities vary and interact across school contexts. This study explored how successful principals acquire and apply these qualities to achieve…

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be widely integrated into global economic, social, and environmental governance, its role in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship has garnered increasing scholarly attention. This research aims to uncover the predictors affecting students' pro-environmental personal norms (EPNs) and subjective norms…

Prosocial behavior is important for every individual from an early age. This behavior can teach each individual to be able, share, cooperate, be generous, help and practice honesty. The level of students' prosocial behavior can also affect their academic achievement, so there needs to be an intervention to improve students' prosocial behavior…

My aim in this paper is to challenge the neo-Aristotelian tradition, currently dominant in contemporary theories of virtue education, by proposing the Platonic pedagogical methodology for virtue cultivation as a worthy alternative to the Aristotelian theory of education. I highlight that, in contrast to Aristotle's limited remarks concerning…

Many studies mention the social valorization of creative individuals. However, previous works show contrasting results concerning both this valorization and the links between creativity and the two dimensions of social judgment (individuals' warmth and competence). Consequently, we implemented two paradigms classically used when examining the…

Abram S. Isaacs (1852-1920), editor, intellectual, university professor, and rabbi, was a moral educator dedicated to making American Jews more knowledgeable and more virtuous. His role model was his father, who founded and taught in the Jewish day school that young Abram attended. While embracing the blessings of American life, Isaacs was deeply…

Although fostering values is promoted within sustainability education (SE), many educators appear concerned or conflicted about how, or whether, to approach values education. An interdisciplinary research project sought to draw on insights from character education (CE) in order to explore the problem. Using the Delphi technique, 12 CE and SE…
