Laela Adamson; Lizzi O. Milligan; Zubeida Desai – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2024
This paper argues for the importance of foregrounding learners' experiences in language-in-education research, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and other postcolonial contexts where there is an unfamiliar language of learning and teaching.

Andrea Fiore – Educational Theory, 2023
In this paper, Andrea Fiore sketches the notion of familiarity in Dewey's thought, particularly in its relations with education, aesthetics, and art.

Boys, Mary C. – Journal of Religious Education, 2022
This article approaches questions regarding religious pluralism from the perspective of a religious educator. It argues for the importance of educating both in the particularity of one's home tradition and for a religiously pluralistic world: It concludes with some recommendations for educating Christians in such a way that the religious…

Buethe, John – Educational Theory, 2022
We turn to experience when confronted by a problem, or so John Dewey's oeuvre suggests. Yet, what use is experience when the problem falls outside the boundaries of the known? Drawing upon a range of thinkers -- from Alain Badiou to Elaine Scarry to Maggie Nelson -- John Buethe takes Dewey's familiar thesis one step further to interrogate…

González-Espada, Wilson J.; Gallenstein, Kathryn; Collins, Katelyn – Physics Teacher, 2022
The use of analogies is a well-known teaching strategy to bridge unfamiliar and familiar concepts. However, analogies may become ineffective if the familiar concept is not familiar anymore. For example, this may occur when we describe rotational sense as clockwise and counterclockwise, assuming students know how to read a clock with hour and…

Mantilla-Blanco, Paula L. – Comparative Education Review, 2023
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.…

Standish, Paul – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2020
Curiosity has rightly received much attention in epistemology and educational research. Although, through the centuries, it has been regarded with a degree of ambivalence, the trend now is towards its championing as an intellectual or epistemic virtue. The present discussion juxtaposes it against a contrasting way of knowing, which I refer to as…

Boulet, Suzanne – International Journal of Art & Design Education, 2020
This article is structured around three art objects I created and presented during the "iJADE" Conference in 2019. Through the description and manipulation of these tactile objects, which are designed in a way that allows for ease of interaction, we arrive at the concepts of familiarity and strangeness, attraction and repulsion that…

Beheshtian, Cheyenne; Garcia, Vanessa Elena; Zhu-Hui Ng, Tiffany; Alkhatib, Sarah; Quang, Erica; Cho, Kira Jinju; Nguyen, Timothy Duy; Le, Dustin Nguyen; Kadandale, Pavan – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
A large body of literature has established the benefits of undergraduate research experiences via the traditional apprenticeship model. More recently, several studies have shown that many of these benefits can be recapitulated in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) that are more scalable and easier for students to participate…

Le, Anh Hai; Billett, Stephen – International Journal of Training Research, 2022
Both government reports and academic literature concur in claiming that the low standing of vocational education and training (VET) and the occupations it serves in the community is a major problem for increasing the engagement in this educational sector in an era of high aspiration. An initial analysis from a project capturing school students,…

Alexander, Joy – English in Education, 2022
While speaking, reading and writing are identified in the Newbolt Report as components of English and are still acknowledged as such one hundred years later, Reading Aloud, which the Report ranks alongside them, is no longer accorded any prominence. The Newbolt Report connects Reading Aloud with literature and announces it as a method of…

Ames, Roger T. – Ethics and Education, 2017
"To translate" means quite literally "to carry across, to bring across," that is, "to remove from one place to another." The questions I want to address in this essay are: To what extent have we been successful in, first, understanding the Chinese philosophical narrative and, then, in "carrying it across"…

Perkins, Kyle; Jiang, Xuan – Online Submission, 2019
In this position paper, we advocate that advancements made in other disciplinary areas such as neurolinguistics should be included into contemporary reading comprehension courses and programs. We present findings from neurobiology of reading that suggest explanation of certain reading behaviors: (1) the differences between reading disability and…
