In this paper, we explore white supremacy's "projection" of the "devil" by focusing on its construction and deployment of what Stanley Cohen (1972/2002) terms "folk devils" or those who are seen as deviant. We argue Critical Race Theory (CRT) and conjoining equity centered discourses and practices are situated as a…

My research investigates the experiences of a range of professionals tasked with the role of enacting a policy aimed at achieving social justice. In a drive where one of the priorities was aimed at reducing exclusions from mainstream schools, some participants report feelings of being marginalised and excluded from the policy process. This paper…

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic along with the gradually changing educational trends facilitate the transformation from traditional learning methods to digital learning methods. Besides, student satisfaction is vital in remote education course evaluations because it is associated with the quality of online programs. Recently, the EduNext…

Authors explore recent education policies that ban the teaching of critical race theory, restrict teaching race-related topics, prohibit conversations about divisive concepts, and problematize their impact in further silencing (and potentially erasing) complex issues about race and racism and other forms of oppression in historical and…

This book analyses discourses of the use of motivation theories in schools globally. It focuses on the overall impact of motivation theories on teachers, students' engagement, well-being, academic excellence, standards, equity and global competitiveness. It examines the role of motivation theories impacting on teachers and students in the…

In this article, Louise Taylor responds to commentaries on her article, "Seeking Equality of Educational Outcomes for Black Students: A Personal Account" (EJ1316951), offering her response and further reflections as she continues her efforts towards anti-racist practice. She begins her response by noting that the scale of the challenge…

Friedrich Froebel is well-known for the invention of kindergarten and the pioneering educational philosophy he developed in the 1800s, which respected children's self activity and women's capabilities for the role of teacher, while promoting play as the primary medium for learning. His radical ideas and principled approach to early childhood…

Many classroom-observation instruments have been developed (e.g., Gleason et al., 2017; Nava et al., 2019; Sawada et al., 2002), but a very small number of studies published in refereed journals have rigorously examined the quality of the ratings and the instrument using measurement models. For example, Gleason et al. developed a mathematics…

This critical review aims to describe the integrity of paraphrasing the theory or references and scientific journals that become references. The contribution of this research is as a reference and input to develop the creativity of critical thinking of the quoters. The method used is listening and analyzing the journal's contents as a source of…

Despite rapid growth in young children visiting museums, and an increasing acknowledgement that these visits are important to children's development as cultural citizens [Mudiappa and Kluczniok 2015. "Visits to Cultural Learning Places in the Early Childhood." "European Early Childhood Education Research Journal" 23 (2):…

The study abroad experience is an important fixture of American higher education, with politicians, institutions, and mainstream media calling for increased participation. Participation in study abroad can potentially benefit students' personal, academic, and career development. However, historical educational data have shown that some groups,…

Since the inception of the mathematics education enterprise, whiteness and antiBlackness are two foundational components, ideological and social constructs. These constructs help to understand how the law, race, class, power, and other forms of oppression operate to establish, maintain, and elevate racism (white supremacy) in and out of the…

The field of supervision has perennially struggled to define itself and, hence, find a niche within the larger field of education and, more narrowly, even within the field of instructional leadership. A sort of an odd, almost contradictory state exists, one in which precludes, in my opinion, the field of supervision from gaining traction as a…

This paper explores the potential of "civic science education" (CSE), which includes experiences that have been intentionally designed to foster or enhance individuals' interactions with and/or engagement in science-related public matters. To begin, we provide a theoretically-grounded definition of CSE, including three sub-categories:…

Estimation of parameters for the many-facets Rasch model requires that conditional on the values of the facets, such as person ability, item difficulty, and rater severity, the observed responses within each facet are independent. This requirement has often been discussed for the Rasch models and 2PL and 3PL models, but it becomes more complex…
