The relevance of the problem presented in this study is conditioned by the fact that the multifactorial nature of qualities of technological culture of the individual requires a search for paradigms, an identification of the range of approaches aimed at developing not only technological, professional, but also cultural competences of students in…

As the 21st century has just passed its 20th year, there have been some changes to educational policy and practice in domains in many countries around the world, including more than 4.1 million children in 137 countries participating in skill development programmes aimed at fundamental learning. Few of these have reached to secondary schools. The…

The aim of this study is to examine the role of primary schools in reproducing gender discrimination based on teachers' views. In the study, the discriminatory factors arising from "the everyday practices in the classroom and in the school, the curriculum, and the individual characteristics of the students" were discussed from the…

Examining the critical potential of everyday practices within early childhood spaces, this article builds on a growing body of pedagogical research that challenges researchers 'to use theory to think "with" data' and create new concepts that are born out of the possibilities of the theory-practice relationship. By aligning Deleuze and…

Purpose: In this study, the authors offer a practice theory framing of school physical activity transition with conceptual and managerial contributions to whole school approaches (WSAs). Design/methodology/approach: Based on a literature overview of the limitations of WSA, ecological and systems theorisation and a practice theory framing of…

In the midst of an international debate about immigration, this qualitative ethnographic study focuses on the stories and teaching practices of immigrant and refugee educators working with immigrant and refugee youth at a community-based after-school programme in the Midwestern region of the USA. Using existing literature to describe the…

In this paper, I set an aspect of what it is to live a flourishing life against the backdrop of neo liberal trends that continue to influence educational policy across the globe. The view I set out is in sharp contrast to any narrow assumption that education's main task is the measurement of high performing individuals who will thus contribute to…

Revolt is a vital and transformative process of evolution and re-negotiation, Kristeva says, and, in the face of global/local, political, worldly and ecological crises, it is critical. This paper utilises the notion of revolt as an ongoing imperative to re-imagine activism through a human-posthuman framing. It conceptualises the university as a…

In a candid conversation, two preeminent education researchers discuss the state of the field and their own methodological differences. Matthew A. Kraft, an influential education scholar and former K-12 teacher, talks with John Hattie, renowned author of Visible Learning. They debate their different viewpoints on effect sizes, discuss how evidence…

In this article we focus on note taking as a practice that is fundamental to (higher) education. We argue that note-taking should not primarily be regarded as a method that supports effective learning, but as formative of the student herself (making her attentive and granting possibilities for self-transformation). Hence it is a practice that has…

Niklas Luhmann's late concept of inclusion/exclusion in world society compensates for the lack of a systems theory of social differentiation, but ultimately remains incomplete. Moreover, it is remarkable that Luhmann apparently never linked the inclusion/exclusion concept to his late theory of the education system. The following considerations…

This article analyzes education activists' resilience in emergencies, building on life story interviews with Syrians who engaged in civil society initiatives for schooling in the aftermath of the 2011 uprising. It investigates the meaning that education acquires under extreme adversity and how it inspires individuals to act. Finding that these…

Current education paradigms were informed by the classical Newtonian worldview of brain functioning in which the mind is simply the physical activity of the brain, and our thoughts cannot have any effect upon the physical world. However, researchers in the field of quantum mechanics found that the outcomes of certain subatomic experiments are…

Context: For decades, educational leaders and researchers have faced a puzzle: Too often, promising new initiatives are adopted only to be quickly discontinued, while other longstanding practices persist despite efforts to undo them. Purpose: We provide a framework for analyzing both change and persistence that we argue can shed new light on what…

High Impact Practices (HIPs) encompass a variety of educational opportunities proven to increase student engagement and persistence in their collegiate studies, but do they also lead to increased self-efficacy? By combining the literature of HIPs with Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) this research presents a combined assessment methodology tested in…
