This article aims to problematize knowledge production as merely an academic researcher endeavour by investigating how research can invite preschool-aged children to activate knowledge "in situ." Informed by Isabelle Stengers' theoretical framework, we developed the research methodology of Research prACTivisms through three propositions:…

International education and the process of internationalization have evolved through distinct historical phases, each characterized by shifting global political outlooks and increasing complexity. International politics and the global power hierarchy have always played a significant role in shaping the development of international education and…

Marked by the tireless labour and contributions of Black women, the Black feminist tradition has significantly influenced the field and practice of education, broadly conceived, in which pedagogy plays a vital part. Little scholarship, however, has explored the relationship between Black feminist thought's knowledge validation process and Black…

An expansive study shows how politics can work for, not just against, efforts to improve America's schools. The education reform project has always been about making America's schools more effective for the children who attend them. In "Making Politics Work," authors Paul T. Hill and Ashley E. Jochim show that this project cannot succeed…

Courses: This paper presents a course design that aims to stimulate student ownership of learning. It was developed for a semester-long undergraduate course in political communication, but it is equally suitable for courses at graduate level and on other topics. The course design will unfold its potential best in classes with up to 30 students.…

Under the professional obligations set by the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand, teachers are expected to undertake professional learning and development (PLD). Additionally, both the Teaching Council and the "New Zealand Curriculum" strongly encourage 'teaching as inquiry' as a framework for engaging with PLD. However, PLD can…

Education is the pillar of social development. Higher education in particular teaches how to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. For the better opportunities of tomorrow, forward-looking nations formulate inclusive education policies today. However, it is not uncommon to see authoritarian regimes control knowledge production and…

Background: Despite literature recognising the huge potential of co-production as a positive approach to evidence creation, there is a dearth of evidence about how co-production principles can problematise knowledge exchange, specifically in evaluation work. Aims: To critically examine three evaluation projects commissioned by voluntary sector…

This study aims to understand how social organizations participate in education governance and how they interact with state actors in the context of education governance in China from a network governance perspective. Based on a multiple case study, we selected four social organizations (a think tank, an academic association, and a domestic, and…

This study explores how Hong Kong's latest Chinese history curriculum hybridizes Romantic and Enlightened approaches and how that hybridization converges with/diverges from mainland China's, given the two societies' increased integration in the People's Republic of China. Data were drawn from Hong Kong's and mainland China's latest…

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the role university students played in the decolonization discourse in Ghana. It analyses whether or not the concept of decolonization can be used to investigate the resistance of student movements through their activism. The consciousness of student movements such as the National Union of Ghana…

This article discusses how problem-based learning combines with what I from Nietzsche call "becoming who you are". It argues against thinking of problem-based learning merely as a method that integrates theory and practice. Using Foucault's genealogy and Arendt's notion of storytelling as theoretical anchor points, I suggest that…

In this essay, Stefano Oliverio engages with the question of how to think about education in times of climate change and the "intrusion of Gaia" by establishing a dialogue between Bruno Latour's political ecology and John Dewey's appeal to the need to bring a genuine Copernican revolution to fruition. Oliverio argues that the panoply of…

Political imagination has never been more important, yet it is very often foreclosed in conservative educational spaces. It's important to question the occlusion of political imagination from both science and education on a general level--something STEM-types are actively discouraged from thinking about. In order for education fields to progress…

There has been encouragement from funders, universities and academics to co-produce research. Co-production of research can be considered a methodology in its own right, or an underpinning set of principles for other methods. Co-production aims to reshape relations between the researched and the researcher. Yet, co-producing research rarely starts…
