In post-millennial societies, creativity is heralded as crucial to individuals and societies, valuable for the economy, essential for leadership and vital for the future of work. In our unprecedented times, creativity is a necessary attribute that universities are embracing to ensure future-proof and employable graduates. However, there is a scant…

This collective writing piece takes its points of departure from the chronotope - a spatio-temporal matrix that constitutes current cultural experiences, which are subjected to dialogic philosophical analysis. Doing so renders unconscious or abstract elements as 'profoundly spatial and concrete' (Bakhtin, 1981, p. 208, emphasis in original),…

In a spirit of collegial support, this paper argues that Beckett and Hager's theoretical justification and empirical exemplifications do not do full justice to the complexity of group or team learning. We firstly reaffirm our support for the theoretical argument Becket and Hager make, though expressing some reservations about Complexity Theory, to…

Background: This paper begins with the premise that ethics and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) overlap in engineering. Yet, the topics of ethics and DEI often inhabit different scholarly spaces in engineering education, thus creating a divide between these topics in engineering education research, teaching, and practice. Purpose: We…

Creativity is one of the essential skills for the 21st century. Although current advancement in the research converges on its dual features (i.e., originality and appropriateness) and the effect of instructional focus, little is known about how culture and work modality (i.e., individual or collaborative) play a role in the effect. This study…

We live in a world marked by a crisis that we understand, from post-colonial literature, as a crisis of the knowledge model that underpins Western Modernity. Therefore, science education which deals with the study of the production of scientific knowledge needs to be attentive to this question. We argue that the challenges imposed by the crisis…

Religious Education in Zambia and perhaps more widely needs to become more aware of how religion is expressed culturally. 'Learning about' religion or religions, which is a common practice, has limited value. It needs a 'learning from' dimension. It will be contended that this 'learning from' has been extensively neglected in Zambia. A key reason…

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Spanish scholars started to pay particular attention to the history of schools' material culture, defining this as "etnohistoria de la escuela".

Modern astronomy as a field of inquiry may be shaped by what we consider the "scientific" ways of knowing. However, the history of astronomy as a human endeavour dates back millennia before the "modern" notions of "science". This long history means that astronomy is, at its core, built on a rich cultural diversity and…

While there is mounting research on the well-known white founders of social work, documentation of Black social work pioneers and their contributions is scarce -- in both social work education and the broader telling of the profession's history. Given the systemic exclusion of Black social workers in the dominant narrative of social work history,…

Students often perceive school science as purely theoretical, overloaded with facts, and mostly disconnected from their school, home, and community life. One way to bridge the disconnection between school science and lived experiences, and support students in realizing the relevance of science to their everyday life, is by enabling them to…
