What does it mean to teach in higher education (HE) from vantage points that do not privilege human self-interest, but include nonhuman animals as significant subjects of educational practice? This paper addresses human-animal relations as a nascent area of HE pedagogy. It explores premises of, and approaches to post-anthropocentric HE pedagogies…

In this essay, Ross Collin offers ethics-focused readings of Anton Chekhov's popular short stories "The Schoolmistress" and "The Teacher of Literature." Chekhov shows in the two stories how teaching can inhibit teachers' flourishing. That is to say, teaching under bad conditions can draw teachers into moral…

In this paper, the author will develop a more comprehensive notion of truth, one that goes beyond the epistemological correspondence theory, and the author will argue for the importance of authentication as a crucial extension of truth, especially in a posttruth climate. Hannah Arendt observes, "facts need testimony to be remembered and…

Background: In this paper, we contribute to the discussion of modelsbased practice (MbP) in physical education (PE). While versatility is a global ideal for PE, the common pedagogical approach to PE has been criticized for being biased towards activity-based instruction and mastering discipline-specific skills. To address this problem, Kirk,…

More and more lately, commentators who have defended Socrates have emphasized the extent to which he uses non-rational means of educating his interlocutors, and commentators have downplayed the extent to which he means to offer arguments that provide justification or are rationally persuasive. The trend is refreshing since students of Socrates…

The concern of this paper is to provide a number of 'seeds' for a reclaiming of art in education by placing emphasis upon art's pedagogy or art's education. The notion of reclaiming does not infer a return to a utopian past or to a halcyon future, but it invokes a reaffirmation of the adventure of events of art practice that can take us beyond…

While education seeks to develop academic knowledge, there too lies the need for children and young people's personal, social, emotional, and ethical needs to be met, to develop confidence and autonomy. With ongoing austerity and the closure of universal services such as Children Centres, there is an ever-increasing need for schools to become…

The importance of models and modeling in science education is well-recognized, yet there exists significant polysemy among these terms within the literature. This ambiguity often leads to confusion, particularly regarding whether modeling represents an expected student performance, an instructional strategy to promote such performance, or both.…

Genetics is a fundamental topic in Biology, yet its abstract nature presents challenges in the learning process.

Bodies have everything to do with teaching and learning, yet are often overlooked or diminished as sites of meaning-making in educational contexts. The goal of this article is to foreground the body in teaching and learning, and identify the transformative potential that embodied pedagogy opens up. Rooted in intersectional critical theory and…

Children with typical hearing and vision learn to communicate by watching and listening to others. But children who are deafblind have limited access to learning this way. They need knowledgeable educators who understand how deafblindness impacts learning--who know how to assess a child's communication and plan for and engage in meaningful…

Although the term streaming is polysemic, nowadays it is generally understood as real time communication between broadcasters of information (or streamers) and their community, through popular platforms such as Twitch or YouTube Live. As there is a lack of knowledge about the educational impact of this kind of streaming on higher education, the…

Higher education institutions can be key agents of innovation and regional development. Nevertheless, they are in a transition period: good, tried, and tested practices no longer work or do not work as well as they used to, while new, fully developed, and widely applied solutions are yet to emerge. In this paper, we investigate to what extent…

Effective mathematics teaching practices include not only probing student thinking and selecting student strategies to share but also facilitating discourse and encouraging reflection about important mathematical ideas (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 2014, pp. 36-37). Encouraging students to use precise academic vocabulary to…

Decolonization of higher education is the process of reevaluating social, economic, political, and judicial structures. It focuses on the harm colonization had on marginalized groups, recognizing the harm that engaging in dualistic thinking and not disrupting the status quo has on individuals, yet decolonization of counselor education has neither…
