This essay presents a theoretical model for the heretofore hidden processes associated with mechanisms of change in adventurous outdoor learning. After summarizing the few researchers who have investigated the components and pathways that bring participant change, four strands of influence are discussed: exercise activity, nature immersion,…

Constructive controversies, where team members discuss their different opinions openly and politely, can stimulate interprofessional learning (IPL): the learning that occurs in the interactions between two or more different professions. However, in science-based controversies where members compete to be the expert learning becomes complicated.…

War and conflict between and within nations are defining characteristics of human history, and these impacts are directly felt in education. When classrooms around the world experience conflict firsthand, undergo processes of postconflict reconciliation, become transit points for students fleeing war-torn homes, or receive students holding refugee…

During recess a conflict occurred between two fourth graders. A peer attempted to mediate unsuccessfully. Frustrated, the student protested, "[Teachers] never listen to us!"

Our survey of literature on moral dilemmas in teaching reveals that scholars declare the need to unequivocally resolve them yet refrain from doing so. This phenomenon is rooted in falure to distinguish between the different moral conflicts. The methods of resolving abstract hypothetical dilemmas, advocated but not implemented by the scholars, are…

This paper examines the restorative justice system and the importance of integrating students back into the regular classroom following a disciplinary action. Through preventative measures, resolving conflict, and transforming the behavior, students can be reintegrated back into the classroom environment without much loss of learning time.

Informed by a cultural understanding of human sense-making, the mathematical identities of Grades 7-12 learners, teachers, and conventional curricula are explored. Due to a clash of values between mathematics and the humanities, a majority of learners do not achieve their mathematical potential. This frustrates both these learners and their…

Although memory sites and formal schooling both serve as battlegrounds for postconflict disputes over memory, there is a dearth of research that examines the connection between the two. This article draws on the case of Colombia to explore the use of memory sites, such as museums and memorials, as pedagogical tools in education for peace building.…

I unpack these two paradoxes by engaging in conceptual…
