Kidd, Ian James; Chubb, Jennifer; Forstenzer, Joshua – Theory and Research in Education, 2021
Contemporary epistemologists of education have raised concerns about the distorting effects of some of the processes and structures of contemporary academia on the epistemic practice and character of academic researchers. Such concerns have been articulated using the concept of epistemic corruption. In this article, we lend credibility to these…

Sánchez Gómez, Pedro J. – Science & Education, 2021
In this article, I present an analysis of the epistemic value of the students' conceptions, as employed in the current constructivist research. I focus on the conceptions about natural kinds. Since natural kind terms are a crucial part of the discourse of the natural sciences, my conclusions are particularly relevant in science education. To…

Radford, Luis – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
The goal of this article is to investigate Davydov's concept of the concept against the backdrop of its philosophical system, namely, dialectical materialism. In the first part, after briefly sketching the context of Davydov's work, I consider some ontological and epistemological ideas on which Davydov bases his concept of the concept. I pay…

Thorne, Sapphira R.; Quilty-Dunn, Jake; Smortchkova, Joulia; Shea, Nicholas; Hampton, James A. – Cognitive Science, 2021
This paper reports the first empirical investigation of the hypothesis that epistemic appraisals form part of the structure of concepts. To date, studies of concepts have focused on the way concepts encode properties of objects and the way those features are used in categorization and in other cognitive tasks. Philosophical considerations show the…

Nikolaidis, A. C. – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2021
Scholars of epistemology have identified two conceptions of epistemic injustice: discriminatory epistemic injustice and distributive epistemic injustice. The former refers to wrongs to one's capacity as a knower that are the result of identity prejudice. The latter refers to violations of one's right to know what one is entitled to know. This…

Barritt, Laura – International Journal of Art & Design Education, 2021
This article argues that a UK education system is required such that it specifically recognises the particular dynamic, co-constructive nature of complex and rapid contemporary entanglements (both human and non-human) and how they inform the epistemic and ontological development of students. This article draws from posthumanist theory and uses the…

Winzler, Tim – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2021
In this article I explore a disposition towards a critique of 'reductionism' and 'determinism' that seems to me to be very much prevalent within British sociology. I take a qualitative educational sociology that uses Bourdieusian concepts as one body of research where this disposition is expressed with particular fervour. A close examination of…

Singh, Jaspal Naveel – Applied Linguistics, 2021
Understanding how people resist European colonial modernity by collaboratively constructing southern epistemological positionalities is crucial for plotting plans about what applied linguists can do to promote social justice in the third decade of the 21st century. Epistemological positionalities describe how speakers metapragmatically theorize…

Do educational theories affect enfranchisement asymmetrically?

Hyde, Brendan – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2021
In this article, I argue that critical discourse in Mezirow's theory of transformative learning is a constructionist, ontological act that serves to support an individual's critical reflection, which, in turn, is a constructivist, epistemological act. The notion of onto-epistemology is helpful in bringing to the fore the entanglement of these two…

Chapman, Arthur, Ed. – UCL Press, 2021
The 'knowledge turn' in curriculum studies has drawn attention to the central role that knowledge of the disciplines plays in education, and to the need for new thinking about how we understand knowledge and knowledge-building. "Knowing History in Schools" explores these issues in the context of teaching and learning history through a…

Cara Tarullo – ProQuest LLC, 2021
A goal of undergraduate science education is to help students develop "personal epistemologies" like those used by scientists (Windschitl et al., 2008). "Epistemic understandings" around the nature and process of science are crucial in the development of personal epistemologies comparable to scientists. However, many…

Building the capacity of pre-service teachers to work in globalized cross-cultural environments is essential to cope with the challenges of the 21st century. This study establishes the value of internationally paired, authentically collaborative practicums with strong epistemological and positional framing in pursuing such capacity development. It…

Potential benefits of learning analytics (LA) for improving students' performance, predicting students' success, and enhancing teaching and learning practice have increasingly been recognized in higher education.
