Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent to which the concept of learning organization can support the embedding of responsible innovation (RI) in organizations. Design/methodology/approach: Based on literature in the fields of corporate social responsibility, learning organizations and quadruple helix collaborations, the…

Responding to gaps in the executive coaching literature, this study's purpose was to identify coaching practices for facilitating growth in leaders' developmental capacity to help them more successfully navigate the demands of their increasingly complex contexts. Through the lenses of transformative learning (Mezirow, 1978, 1991, 2000) and…

Humour and comedy have gained increased significance in academic research in recent years. This article examines the importance of humour and comedy as valuable tools in qualitative social science research methodology. It makes the original contribution of utilizing humour and comedy theory, and critical understandings of both their macro and…

This case study examined a Bhutanese teacher, Pema's reflective practices and their effects on her beliefs and classroom practices over a sequence of four lessons sandwiching a professional development. Three instances of reflection (before, during and after each lesson) were analysed to determine the shift in her beliefs and practices. The result…

This paper is focused on the concepts of reflection, pracademics and Cognitive Apprentices used within work-based learning contexts. A hermeneutic phenomenological dialogic exchange was conducted between the authors to gain an in-depth interpretive analysis of the concepts of reflection, pracademics and Cognitive Apprentices. It is evident that…

This article proposes a comprehensive AI curriculum tailored for young learners aged 11 to 14, emphasizing a humanistic approach. We review other AI curricula proposals for children and young people and underline that they focus primarily on AI's technological benefits and on learning coding and logic. Our curriculum explores human cognition that…

Chemical reasoning takes many forms. The focus in this paper is on a reasoning process that facilitates using experimental evidence to make connections between macroscopic and submicroscopic domains, which we will refer to as "creating representation." It is a particular type of reasoning that has played a critical role in chemistry,…

This study investigates first-year undergraduate students of Primary Education Mathematics Teacher Education's knowledge and understanding of rotational symmetry in geometric shapes. Three students participated in this study, which was designed within the framework of a one-to-one teaching experiment (a qualitative research method) in the fall…

Teacher training in the technological age is a complex matter requiring thought, action, and research. In this qualitative study, we examined the reflective constructive perspectives of in-service graduate students in the process of training for the education and teaching professions. The current study continues previously published studies…

Purpose: This article aims to explore the meanings of positionality and demonstrate how reflective memos can illustrate positionality in a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) study. Design/methodology/approach: Acknowledging the positionality of the researcher through a reflective approach is an essential element of CGT studies. The first author…

Reflection on current practices is key to the transformation of teachers into reflexive practitioners. This study describes how design thinking was integrated in Schön's 'reflection in and on' model, to transform traditional teaching of Biology into constructivist learning. As a first step, the reflection model was used to identify limitations in…

The study creates the development of the Experiential Learning Management Model (ELMM) for early childhood education, rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach. The Reggio Emilia approach, established in the 1960s in northern Italy, emphasizes collaborative learning among children, educators, and parents. This educational philosophy cultivates an…

This study investigated the potential of Microsoft Copilot, an artificial intelligence (AI) image generator, as a creative tool for 30 undergraduate art education students in Kuwait. The research explored how Copilot could synthesize classical artistic styles with contemporary themes using prompts inspired by six historical artists. Students…

As teachers begin to construct an understanding of 'inquiry', and incorporate IBL into their classroom practice, they are challenged to be sensitive to the 'constructivist' nature of the CLD. This paper presents a reflection model structured to trigger thinking about beliefs in teaching and learning in order for teachers to re-examine their…

The book provides an entry point for graduate students and other scholars interested in using the constructs of Piaget's genetic epistemology in mathematics education research. Constructs comprising genetic epistemology form the basis for some of the most well-developed theoretical frameworks available for characterizing learning, particularly in…
