Ana María Restrepo-Sáenz; Emmanuel Neisa Chateauneuf – Journal on Education in Emergencies, 2023
No one was prepared when COVID-19 hit.

Richerme, Lauren Kapalka – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2022
Given the contemporary polarized political landscape and the elective nature of much music teaching and learning, it is important that music educators understand how they reinforce or undermine stakeholders' political beliefs. The purpose of this inquiry is to investigate alignment between Lakoff's moral-political metaphors and Allsup's main ideas…

Dennis, Jeremy – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2019
In interdisciplinary education, metaphors often provide the epistemological clarity that is lacking in our definitions and theories of interdisciplinarity. The problem is that ineffective and unsubstantiated metaphors proliferate. We lack a root metaphor or shared world view of interdisciplinarity. Is it time that we move away from thinking in…

El Nouhy, Eman – Children's Literature in Education, 2019
For decades, feminists have tried to dismantle and argue against the image of the Medusa as a figure of female monstrousness.

Korsgaard, Morten Timmermann – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2019
In this paper, the notion of pearl diving as a metaphor for historical methodology is explored as a possible conceptual contribution to pedagogical thinking and practice.

Sheena J. Vachhani; Emma Bell – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2024
In this paper we move from considering the chair as an (inanimate) object, to exploring its vitality through a more vibrant and active reading of this inescapable everyday item. We are inspired by feminist new materialism and how affect shapes our understanding of matter. Reading matter in this way surfaces our orientations toward everyday items…

Here, we take a first step toward assessing the contribution of meaningfulness in the processing of multiword sequences,…

Lieven, Elena; Ferry, Alissa; Theakston, Anna; Twomey, Katherine E. – First Language, 2020
During language acquisition children generalise at multiple layers of granularity. Ambridge argues that abstraction-based accounts suffer from lumping (over-general abstractions) or splitting (over-precise abstractions). Ambridge argues that the only way to overcome this conundrum is in a purely exemplar/analogy-based system in which…
