With the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly Generative AI (GenAI) to school settings, teachers are likely to be drawn into professional learning scenarios where they will be expected to learn how to use programs and applications for remediation and tutoring of children.

As science education faces the urgent task of rehumanization amid growing technocratic rationality, scientific eponyms, especially in literary contexts, offer a potential of rehumanization for value-based science education. To explore this potential, selected passages referencing the eponym "Landolt tables" from the short story…

Technology has been an indispensable tool for education following the COVID-19 pandemic. Some habits adopted during that period, such as remote learning and teaching, have not yet been wholly abandoned, even if they occur in a minor measure since they can improve learning by adopting technology and developing technological skills.

In particular, this research focusses on the generative potential of considering co-productions and assemblages…

This paper examines what new materialist and posthumanist frameworks can offer learning science research in diverse maker learning environments. We explore what is gained by grappling with the entanglements between humans, non-humans and more-than-humans. To do this, we draw on Karen Barad's ethico-onto-epistemology and agential realism where she…
