Direct linkJohn, Eileen – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2018
How can stories contribute to ethical education, when they reach people who have already been shaped by many stories, including ethically problematic ones? This question is pursued here by considering Plato's allegory of the cave, focusing on a reading of it offered by Jonathan Lear. Lear claims that the cave allegory aims to undermine its…

Williams, Emma Louise – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2018
This paper examines David Bakhurst's attempt to provide a picture of 'the kinds of beings we are' that is 'more realistic' than rationalism. I argue that there is much that is rich and compelling in Bakhurst's account. Yet I also question whether there are ways in which it could be taken further. I introduce the discussion by exploring Bakhurst's…

Guilherme, Alex; Souza de Freitas, Ana Lucia – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2018
Metaphors help us understand a concept by resorting to the imaginary because it is sometimes difficult to do so through the use of words alone. Thinkers have made use of metaphors to not only describe 'falling in love', 'the pain of losing someone dear to us', but also to describe particular concepts both in arts and sciences. In fact, the use of…

Castaño, Emilia; Gilboy, Elizabeth; Feijóo, Sara; Serrat, Elisabet; Rostan, Carles; Hilferty, Joseph; Cunillera, Toni – Cognitive Science, 2018
Conceptual metaphor is ubiquitous in language and thought, as we usually reason and talk about abstract concepts in terms of more concrete ones via metaphorical mappings that are hypothesized to arise from our embodied experience. One pervasive example is the conceptual projection of valence onto space, which flexibly recruits the vertical and…

Xiao Han – Journal of Education Policy, 2024
Foucauldian critical studies are cornucopian in illustrating how policy as discourse normalizes and yields human beings into made subjects in modern societies. However, Foucault's own slide from the 'terminal stage of discourse' pays little attention to the linguistic elements, and thus weakens the theory's potency in explaining the reality.…

Marco S. G. Senaldi; Debra Titone – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Past work has suggested that L1 readers retrieve idioms (i.e., "spill the tea") directly vs. matched literal controls ("drink the tea") following unbiased contexts, whereas L2 readers process idioms more compositionally. However, it is unclear whether this occurs when a figuratively or literally biased context…

Metaphors in Teaching Dilemmas Conveyed by First-Year Science Teachers in Online Mentoring Dialogues
Download full textE. J. Bahng; Julie A. Luft; Jonah Firestone – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
This study explored online mentoring dialogues of first-year science teachers (FYSTs) to construct a model that was informed by metaphors in teaching dilemmas. Nine teachers' yearlong threaded dialogues were archived and first analyzed by Windschitl's (2002) four dilemma categories, and later by Lakoff and Johnson's (2003) conceptual metaphor…

For this purpose, the study analyzed family traditions related to weddings in Kazakh, English and Chinese…

In this conceptual paper, we offer a framework to examine how residency programmes can critically reflect upon their existence and presence as a democratic hub. As a model of teacher preparation that blends theory and university coursework with practice, residency programmes are designed to prepare and diversify the teacher workforce for a…

Advocates of AI in Education (AIEd) assert that the current generation of technologies, collectively dubbed artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), promise results that can transform our conceptions of what education looks like. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate how educators perceive GenAI and its…

Xiaohan Cao – Learning: Research and Practice, 2025
Foucault's panopticon metaphor frames schools as sites controlling student subjectivity. In Foucault's early work, schools, like prisons, are places of control and oppression of students' subjectivity. In an effort to figure out Foucault's conception of subjectivity and his history of the "care of the self", the relationship between…

Johnson, Alexander A.; Kreuz, Roger J. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Past research has highlighted some differences in how sarcasm is interpreted by different groups of individuals as well as biases in individuals' expectations regarding who is more likely to use it (e.g., occupation, gender). However, examinations of patterns of sarcasm production have been much less frequent. The current research extends past…

Banaruee, Hassan; Khoshsima, Hooshang; Zare-Behtash, Esmail; Yarahmadzehi, Nahid – Cogent Education, 2019
Describing the processes of metaphor comprehension has been a hot topic of discussion among researchers throughout the past four decades. One of the major challenges has been to find a mechanism that can describe the processes involved in the comprehension of various kinds of metaphors. This article suggests that different types of metaphors could…
