The success of implementing Common Core State Standards (CCSS) depends not only on the extent to which educators deeply understand the new standards but also on the expectations, values, and resources that support their readiness for making necessary instructional change. Educators' understanding of and beliefs about CCSS may largely drive their…

Dispositions associated with math skills, including creative problem solving, analysis, reflection, and persistence, are valued in a variety of professional contexts (Durksen, Bobis, Anderson, Skilling and Martin, 2014, World Economic Forum, 2018). Math achievement on international math assessments show that U.S. students do not perform as well as…

Attending to the affect of minoritized students now appears crucial to promoting just and dignity-affirming science education. Yet, elevating affect as an objective of science learning has a history that predates equity reforms. This study explores the politics of scientific uptakes of affect that have long served to mark hierarchical differences…

As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, this paper analyzes participants' experiences playing an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience that explores gender and sexuality-based marginalization in STEM fields. The VR experience, designed and developed by the author and…

Purpose: Research has explored online physical education (PE) throughout the pandemic and has started to identify its lasting results. This study investigated how teachers implemented PE a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and explored what challenges remained or were overcome from the onset of the pandemic. Method: Using an explanatory sequential…

Purpose: This paper examines China's historiography on foreign education since 1900, with an emphasis on the period since 1949.

Whilst it is accepted that art education is a cognitive endeavour, the value and contribution of cognition to art education is often deliberated. By examining literature concerning conceptions of cognition and contextualising studies with the findings of a 5-year artographic inquiry into cognition in the lived experiences of artist teachers, this…

The late James Flynn, to whom this Special Issue is dedicated, suggested that what will matter most to the future of the world is not levels of intelligence but rather how intelligence is deployed. In this article, I argue that we can distinguish between transactional and transformational deployments of intelligence. Loosely following Flynn, I…

How do infants learn the sounds of their native language when there are many simultaneous sounds competing for their attention? Adults and children detect when speech sounds change in complex scenes better than when other sounds change. We examined whether infants have similar biases to detect when human speech changes better than nonspeech sounds…

This paper belongs to a field of research that has appeared comparatively recently, namely, the study of mathematics competitions. The paper utilizes historical-theoretical methodology and is devoted to changes in the way in which mathematics competitions have been conducted in Russia in recent decades. Mathematics competitions, like mathematics…

The conventional school discipline system is invisible to most students and teachers until it gets activated (typically by a discipline referral), at which time, students and school staff alike know what to expect: Some kind of investigative process, which usually consists of questioning the involved parties and reviewing available video footage…

In this article, we examine secondary mathematics teachers' work with resources using the Documentational Approach to Didactics lens. Specifically, we look at the resources and a teacher's scheme of use (aims, rules of actions, operational invariants, and inferences) of these resources across a set of lessons (macro-level analysis) that aim…
