Leonard J. Waks – American Journal of Play, 2024
The author discusses American philosopher, psychologist, and educator John Dewey and the Laboratory School he founded at the end of the nineteenth century at the University of Chicago, where he conducted important studies of child development.

Elke Van dermijnsbrugge – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2024
This paper investigates the concepts of hope, despair and the radical imagination, driven by the following questions: Can we exist beyond the binaries of hope and despair, two key concepts that drive educational practices? What is the radical imagination and what are the conditions for it to be put to work in educational spaces? First, education…

Marion Botella; Léonore Robieux; Benjamin Frantz – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2023
Art and design involve divergent creative processes. Design is a more constrained domain than art. While creativity in some specific domains, such as painting, sculpture, and music, has been widely studied, some have as yet been little explored. One example is stone carving. What characterizes stone carving, as a creative occupation? What is a…

Kristen Harmon – Sign Language Studies, 2023
The idea of a sign language town, or a Deaf utopia, where Deaf and signing people can come together to live in a geographical or figurative homeland has long persisted in US Deaf life, letters, and literature. In the wake of the Milan Congress of 1880, Alexander Graham Bell's alarming rhetoric concerning "a deaf mute variety of the human…

Campbell, Dylan; Tusche, Anita; O'Connor, Brendan Bo – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Prior work suggests that imagining helping others increases prosocial intentions and behavior toward those individuals. But is this true for everyone, or only for those who tend toward--or away from--helping more generally? The current study (N = 283) used an imagined helping paradigm and a battery of behavioral and self-report measures of trait…

Rudrum, David – Policy Futures in Education, 2022
Over the years, a small industry has sprung up dedicated to preserving writers' homes and birthplaces, offering the chance to see first-hand the circumstances under which their key texts were written. Experiencing an insight into, say, Wordsworth's Dove Cottage, or Hardy's Wessex cottage, or the Bronte parsonage in Haworth, is widely held to be an…

Beth Krone; Patricia Enciso – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2025
In this article, we describe a year-long superhero storytelling project we facilitated with youth in a midwestern middle school. In this project, students read "Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spiderman," designed superhero stories set in their community, and presented artistic representations of their stories to their families and peers. We…

Katch, Margaret – Schools: Studies in Education, 2021
As a three-year-old, Margaret Katch told stories about princesses in Vivian Paley's classroom. Now deep into adulthood, she reflects on how acting out these stories as a preschooler influenced her life.

Derek R. Ford; Maria Svensson – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2024
While the manifestation of a revival of a collective revolutionary imaginary is more pronounced in social movements, we see it evidenced in a renewed interested in utopian curriculum and pedagogy. This article advances this trend by following José Esteban Muñoz's methodology, returning an early Paulo Freire formulation of utopian pedagogy as a…

Natan Elgabsi – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2024
This article brings out ethical aspects arising in Plato's classical critique of narrative and imitative art in "The Republic," especially when it comes to reading stories about the past. Socrates's and Glaucon's most important suggestion, I argue, is to cultivate an ethical consciousness where one ought to see the distinctions between…

Sajad Kabgani – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2024
The insistence on knowledge accumulation in modern educational discourses has led to the formation of exclusive dichotomies in various forms, most tangibly observable in the division of people into 'knowledgeable' and 'unknowledgeable'. What underlies this dichotomy is a conception of rationality based on which knowledge is seen as an 'instrument'…

Alex Corbitt – Voices from the Middle, 2024
Acknowledging that students are civic actors and that teaching and learning is always relevant to civic lives, this article addresses how imaginative spaces can be political and if the ways that educators dream and speculate with youth have civic implications. The author first considers how communities and nations are shaped by sociopolitical…

Manolescu, Dan – Journal of Practical Studies in Education, 2023
The present article aims to estimate the value of language learning through a quick review of the learning process and with a focus on "accumulated knowledge" and "the ability to learn." Following the opinions of researchers and linguists, we can also argue that the whole history of human culture--"of intelligence and…

Duval, Stéphanie; Montminy, Noémie; Brault Foisy, Lorie-Marlène; Arapi, Enkeleda; Vézina, Sophie-Anne – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This study aims to bridge a gap between Vygotsky's seminal framework on the importance of make-believe play and adult scaffolding in children's cognitive development (e.g. executive function [EFs]) and research in cognitive neuroscience. Kindergarten children (N = 160) and teachers (N = 12) took part in the study. EFs skills and make-believe play…

Anderson, Ross C.; Beghetto, Ronald A.; Glaveanu, Vlad; Basu, Marina – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
The "consensual assessment technique" (CAT) represents one of the most popular evaluation techniques used by researchers to assess creative artifacts. In this paper we discuss how the prototypical use of the CAT, while useful for identifying unambiguous examples of creative artifacts, can inadvertently kill the curiosity of researchers…
