Although virtues and vices are typically thought of as individual qualities, a growing body of philosophical inquiry suggests that they can comprise collective qualities as well. In this paper, I expand upon the work of philosopher Miranda Fricker to question whether arts organizations can be considered institutionally virtuous and/or vicious. I…

Schools self-identify as caring communities and teach young children to be caring for each other. But schools also teach other contradictory and competing messages, such as individualism and self-reliance, rationalist concepts of justice and meritocracy, and other neoliberal approaches to life and community. Furthermore, while endorsements of care…

To enact democracy, which is to live in communication with difference, requires a formative process that involves an education of the whole person for and through civic life. Drawing on Charles Mills's theory of "Herrenvolk" ethics and Jonathan Lear's analysis of psychosocial lapses that ail us, Sheron Fraser-Burgess and Chris Higgins…

As learning analytics use grows across U.S. colleges and universities, so does the need to discuss the plans, purposes, and paths for the data collected via learning analytics. More specifically, students, faculty, and others who are impacted by learning analytics use should have more information about their campus' learning analytics practices…

In this reflection on Sarah M. Stitzlein's "Teaching Honesty in a Populist Era: Emphasizing Truth in the Education of Citizens," I attend to the process of public-making and complicate the neat vignette of inquiry (the practice of truth-seeking and truth-telling) that undergirds Stitzlein's account of honesty in democracy. In so doing, I…

This paper presents a systematic literature review of using Machine Learning (ML) techniques in higher education career recommendation. Despite the growing interest in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for personalized academic guidance, no previous reviews have synthesized the diverse methodologies in this field. Following the Kitchenham…

Expanding the important body of work that addresses child development's limitations and responding to the ecological crisis that threatens the future of life on Earth, this article proposes a living feminist postdevelopmental lexicon. The lexicon introduces 26 concepts that together challenge the theory/practice divide, disrupt Cartesian modes of…

This activity helps students examine key elements of truth-default theory. Specifically, by participating in a deception detection game, which secretly prompts different teams to be more or less suspicious, students learn that people's tendency to be "truth biased" leads to lower accuracy when judging actual lies and higher accuracy when…

Ethics and integrity should be intertwined within the concept of Responsible Research. Integrity Officers should also be Ethics Officers, enforcing compliance with rules and norms, but also raising awareness on the meaning of ethics in researchers' daily work. Paul Ricoeur's definition of Ethics -- "the aim of living a good life with and for…

This paper introduces the concept of polyphonic relational epistemology, an extension of relational epistemology that emphasizes knowledge as a dialogic and multivocal process. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of polyphony, the paper argues that the act of knowing emerges from the interaction of multiple, irreducible voices. This approach…

In this article, I reflect on the complexities of signification and suggest that the study of music allows us to push forward the radical project of dis-inventing language in applied linguistics (Makoni and Pennycook 2007). In thinking about language, music, and meaning, I focus on a song that has travelled around the globe and that has sounded…

The purpose of this quantitative non-experimental comparative study was to examine differences within subdimensions of work ethic among Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z employees who worked in a remote setting between March 11, 2020, and May 11, 2023, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The two theories guiding this study, within the…

Learning analytics (LA), like much of machine learning, assumes the training and test datasets come from the same distribution. Therefore, LA models built on past observations are (implicitly) expected to work well for future observations. However, this assumption does not always hold in practice because the dataset may drift. Recently,…

Teaching counselling ethics is not only about distributing a list of codes of ethics, but it also plays an important role in the acquisition of competencies. The current study utilised a single-group pre-test and post-test design to evaluate counselling students' multicultural counselling competencies, effective counsellor characteristics, basic…

Much educational utopianism revolves around the "real versus blueprint utopia" dichotomy and the prescriptive normativity that utopian education involves. In this paper, I suggest that the "real and blueprint" distinction should not be dichotomized and that a richer set of normativities, apart from prescription, should operate…
