Offering a heuristic to apprentice young children into the disciplines, we examine how one multiage classroom teacher leveraged the resources of personal digital inquiry to forward students' knowledge building.

Situated in an elementary afterschool Engineering Literacies Club framed around multiliteracies and the engineering design process, this article explores engineering habits of mind and disciplinary literacies. Disciplinary literacies encourage students to read, write, think, and act like historians, mathematicians, scientists, or engineers by…

There is a rich history of research examining the racial/ethnic disparities in school safety, school discipline, school climate and school achievement. While rich and informative, these lines of inquiry also unearth additional unanswered questions. As scholars consider the future of school safety research, they should consider: 1) developing more…

Physical restraint is a restrictive practice used in schools, but there are no up-to-date statistics concerning the frequency of its usage in England and there are concerns as to whether it is being used appropriately and effectively. Pupils with special educational needs are more likely to experience physical restraint in school, but…

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the articles in which multi-tier concept diagnostic tests, which are among the alternative assessment methods frequently used in recent years to identify misconceptions, were used in biology education between 2000 and 2022. For this purpose, systematic review steps were followed and summarized in the…

With the growing interest in the field of instructional design and technology to engage with issues of equity, discrimination, and racism, the field needs to tap into disciplines that have been doing this work to be equipped for this work. This paper discusses the need for the field of instructional design and technology to engage with the…

This article is written within a conceptual space that considers engineering as a heteronomous discipline. In this context, we analyse how the state has intervened in the development of the body of knowledge of engineering discipline in a developing country in a process known as decolonisation and the political dynamism this has created. We take…

The extent to which students identify with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (i.e. STEM identity) is crucial in influencing them to pursue STEM-related careers after compulsory education. Given the predictive power of this construct, this study explores Thai students' STEM identities by focussing on three components (i.e. interest,…

This article explores the tensions between the concept of powerful knowledge, developed by social realist scholars Michael Young, Leesa Wheelahan and others, and the history of thinking about school subject English.
