Implementation of the practices of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is currently a trendy topic worldwide since various interruptions are expected. Education is considered as a major tool to equip people with the necessary kills to be prepared for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Botswana's education system was ranked among the top…

Approaches to discourse analysis in educational research tend to operate within the boundaries of particular video-based research traditions. We examine four of these traditions that are especially relevant to the learning sciences--conversation analysis, discursive psychology, interaction analysis, and video-cued ethnography--and instead of…

This study aims to investigate the types and functions of expressions of fear realized in the form of sentences. With a special context in horror movies, the researcher attempted to reveal the types and functions of fear expressions such as directive, commissive, expressive, assertive, and declarative. This research focuses on the subtitles of the…

This article explores the construction of teachers' professional identity through analysis of subjective learning experiences. In order to report on the progress of our work, we present a discourse analysis of three experiences considered to be of particular relevance by a final-year pedagogy student. The analysis yielded four important…

The purpose of this Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was to examine how diversity is articulated via institutional diversity statements. Drawing on statements from 92 historically white institutions, the study examined both what institutions convey as significant via diversity statements and the subsequent consequences of such language. Guided by…

This qualitative study examines educational life in a neighborhood in Mexico City, analyzing how discourses have produced the neighborhood, Tepito, as a place "without education." Simultaneously, ethnographic research entangles with theories of radical equality and resistance to explore how education emerges and how certain forms of…

Implementation of any inclusive policy is dependent on longstanding conceptions, beliefs, and public discourses on schooling, learning, and including children in mainstream schooling. The adoption of inclusive education in education policies in France and the United Kingdom requires discursive support to reshape the meaning and content of…

We employ a policy assemblage, mobilities, and mutations framework to analyze the geographies that constitute and reflect educational policy circulation at the regional or supranational level in trans-regional regimes and/or quasi-federal polities such as the European Union (EU) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Recognizing that policies are…

Schools produce multiple products and digitization articulates with them in different ways. In this paper we expand the frame for analyzing instructional automation by examining its implications for three scholastic products -- embodied learning, grades and test scores, and the narratives that connect the two. We draw on data from interviews with…

This paper utilises discursive puzzling to examine the interplay of intuition, student-teacher interactions and feedback for practitioner research in language teaching. The authors, both educators and researchers, utilise dialogue to unravel the subtleties of these components in the teaching-learning dynamic, which we discuss as a process of…

Research suggests that the cultural homogeneity of Christian college campuses presents challenges for people of color to navigate. White cultural norms influence attitudes about race. The way people at an institution talk about race reflects the institution's campus racial climate. The purpose of this study was to explore how members of a…

Like America at large, Kansas sees a divide between a largely white teaching body, and an increasingly diverse student body. Teacher performance assessments have been created to facilitate "good teaching" and high-quality teachers. At the same time, multicultural teaching research indicates that diverse students need more than a single…

Transformative learning has been widely discussed in the literature for challenging and reshaping learners' assumptions and beliefs. However, there is a gap in the practical demonstration of how transformative learning can be effectively designed and implemented in real-world contexts. This design-based study fills this gap by designing a mock…

Little attention has been given to research focusing on stress, coping, and their relation to body image for female collegiate endurance athletes. Beginning with a historical overview of the female collegiate athlete experience, the current study then implemented a synthesis of diverse research and theory to frame these relationships.…

Schizophrenic discourse is characterized by thought disorder, or a lack of coherence, prompting substantial research into identifying and measuring the incoherent discourse of schizophrenics. Much of this research has examined short extracts of elicited spoken data and used researcher judgments. This study examines the connectedness of…
