MacPhail, Ann; Schaefer, Lee – Sport, Education and Society, 2020
Acknowledging differences in contexts, the purpose of this paper considers how physical education and sport pedagogy (PESP), while maintaining our collective identity, can most effectively develop a capacity to engage with academic and institutional changes in productive, proactive ways. This, we contend, entails considering extending the groups…

Zajaczkowska, Maria; Abbot-Smith, Kirsten; Kim, Christina S. – Journal of Child Language, 2020
Mentalising has long been suggested to play an important role in irony interpretation. We hypothesised that another important cognitive underpinning of irony interpretation is likely to be children's capacity for mental set switching -- the ability to switch flexibly between different approaches to the same task. We experimentally manipulated…

Zettersten, Martin; Schonberg, Christina; Lupyan, Gary – First Language, 2020
This article reviews two aspects of human learning: (1) people draw inferences that appear to rely on hierarchical conceptual representations; (2) some categories are much easier to learn than others given the same number of exemplars, and some categories remain difficult despite extensive training. Both of these results are difficult to reconcile…

Olsen, Joe; Lew, Kristen; Weber, Keith – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
The metaphors that students form and encounter have been shown to exert a powerful influence on how they think about mathematics. In this paper, we explore the linguistic metaphors about learning and doing mathematics that were prevalent in 11 advanced mathematics lectures. We present four metaphor clusters that were common in the corpus that we…

Lawrence, Randee Lipson – Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education, 2020
As an adult educator for more than 30 years, I have always searched for ways to incorporate creative expression into my teaching practice through engaged pedagogy and student assignments. My major influences came not from educational sources but from the art world and from natural surroundings. In the early 1990's I discovered New Brunswick-based…

Kastner, Julie Derges – Research Studies in Music Education, 2020
The purpose of this narrative case study was to describe the developing teacher identity of Nicole Downing, a first-year teacher in the US, in her use of both formal and informal learning processes. As music education continues embracing approaches like informal music learning, it should also reflect on the voices of teachers in the field. Data…

Adams, Jeff – International Journal of Art & Design Education, 2020
This article looks at possible artistic responses to the environmental crisis, using the theory of anti-mimesis as a means to rethink and reconfigure the ways that the crisis is understood. Initially using the nineteenth-century idea of anti-mimesis, or life imitating art, where art brings nature into existence in people's minds, the article looks…

Joseph Gagen Stockdale III – Online Submission, 2020
The purpose of this dictionary and thesaurus of contemporary figurative language and metaphor is to identify all the words and phrases used figuratively and metaphorically in everyday contemporary English and to categorize each word or phrase not only by meaning but also by what cognitive linguists and others have described variously as figure and…

Lagi, Rosiana; Waqailiti, Ledua; Raisele, Kolaia; Tyson, Lorena Sanchez; Nussey, Charlotte – Comparative Education, 2023
This paper takes inspiration from the Indigenous Fijian practice of 'curui' -- weaving or patching together -- as a metaphor to explore connections between climate justice, gender equality, and education in Fijian policies and practices. The paper argues that neither gender equality nor education can be 'silver bullets' for the huge challenges…

Hanna L. Binks; Enlli Môn Thomas – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
Numerous studies suggest that bilinguals demonstrate smaller vocabularies than monolinguals, and that bilinguals' breadth of vocabulary knowledge - both expressive and receptive - is linked to input frequencies in each language [e.g. Hoff, E., S. Welsh, S. Place, and K. Ribot. 2014. "Properties of Dual Language Input That Shape Bilingual…

Ng, Wendy; Ayayqwayaksheelth, J'net; Chu, Sarah – Journal of Museum Education, 2022
In this article, the tree is used as a metaphor for the birth, nourishment, growth, stress, pruning, resilience, and regeneration of decolonial work to indigenize museum education. At the center of this work is Indigenous peoples, perspectives, and ways of knowing and being. This principle has guided the work of the authors who assert that when…

Henry, Alyssa R.; Solari, Emily J. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2022
Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience associated difficulties in reading comprehension. This may be due to the social nature of fictional texts, which require the reader to interpret what characters are thinking and feeling and to make inferences about the cause and effect between events in a story. This paper outlines…

The goal of this research is to make a theoretical reflection about connections that contributes to the development of the model for mathematical connections originally proposed by Businskas, and extended with the contributions of other researchers. This model is used in the most relevant investigations in this field. As a consequence of the…
