Waggoner, Matt – Thought & Action, 2015
Skills, jobs, and even self-enrichment were not historically regarded as the ultimate goals of the liberal arts; they were byproducts. The reason liberal arts education was called "liberal" in the first place was because it was supposed to cultivate a free human being. Education on the liberal model aimed to liberate. The goal of liberal…

Kochanska, Grazyna; Goffin, Kathryn C. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017
Suor et al. (2017) present a compelling new evolutionary framework that offers an alternative interpretation of the well-established findings of cognitive deficits in children raised in harsh early environments.

Roehl, Tobias – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2015
Drawing on a sociocultural perspective on educational assessment the empirical examples of Margareta Serder and Anders Jakobsson serve as a starting point for a critical analysis of PISA and the image of science education it perpetuates.

Rosenak's "Teaching Jewish Values" (1986) is perhaps his most accessible book about Jewish education.

This response to Perna et al. provides an alternate approach to research on massive open online courses (MOOCs).

Examples using a teacher development MOOC…
