Thomas, P. L. – English Journal, 2012
Literary criticism in the form of the so-called book report, may, therefore, wrote Stephen Bloore in 1934, "be a most valuable aid to independent thought if it is not used merely to check up on the books supposedly read by a student". For a century, "English Journal" has been a map and a narrative of the discourse about teaching ELA as well as the…

Watras, Joseph – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2010
This essay about the work of a famous anthropologist is an attempt to illuminate one way that researchers could apply their findings about the behavior of people in particular groups to ethical considerations of social relations. I argue that Gregory Bateson (1904-1980) is a good example because he applied a few seminal ideas to a wide range of…

Gouseti, Anastasia – Learning, Media and Technology, 2010
It could be said that in the fast-changing field of education technology the initial excitement for a tool or application usually fades away as the next technology emerges on the horizon--leaving little or no room for critical evaluation of how it may best be used in educational settings. Some critics have identified this endless "pursuit of the…

Lowenthal, Patrick; Wilson, Brent G. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2010
AECT has recently (yet again!) redefined our field, reverting back to the use of the term "educational technology." We believe this recent change is problematic for a number of reasons, but primarily because of the weak rationale offered for the change. This change affects how external audiences view our profession and is likely to confuse…

Day Ashley, Laura – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2010
This paper contributes to arguments for the potential of Giddens' structuration theory in educational research. It illustrates how "conceptual schemes" from structuration theory were applied to the author's empirical research on a type of alternative educational practice in India, "private school outreach". It shows how…

Perricone, Christopher – Journal of Aesthetic Education, 2010
"Tragedy," both in what the author calls the strict and nuclear ancient Greek sense of the term (which does not imply that tragedy is clearly and distinctly defined, even in ancient Greece) and in the looser, derived sense of the word, has a long and compelling history. It is not only true that tragedy as practice and performance has a…

Hammersley, Martyn – Qualitative Inquiry, 2009
In their response, "Challenging Neorealism" (pp. 30-39) to the author's article, Smith and Hodkinson begin by characterising their discussions over the years as failing to lead to any change in view; though, toward the end, they suggest that they have learned something from the process, as indeed the author has. Although the productiveness of any…

Locklin, Reid B.; Tiemeier, Tracy; Vento, Johann M. – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2012
Tomoko Masuzawa and a number of other contemporary scholars have recently problematized the categories of "religion" and "world religions" and, in some cases, called for its abandonment altogether as a discipline of scholarly study. In this collaborative essay, we respond to this critique by highlighting three attempts to teach…

Dessel, Adrienne; Bolen, Rebecca; Shepardson, Christine – Journal of Social Work Education, 2011
Social work strives to be inclusive of all cultural groups and religious identities. However, a tension exists in the profession between freedom of religious expression and full acceptance of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people. David Hodge and others claim social work is oppressive to evangelical Christians. This article critiques primarily Hodge's…
