Gannon, Susanne; Walsh, Susan; Byers, Michele; Rajiva, Mythili – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2014
This paper proposes a new move in the methodological practice of collective biography, by provoking a shift beyond any remnant attachment to the speaking/writing subject towards her dispersal and displacement via textual interventions that stress multivocality. These include the use of photographs, drama, and various genres of writing. Using a…

Qasim Butt, Muhammad; Sarfraz Khalid, Muhammad – Bulletin of Education and Research, 2017
Madrasa is the living form of an educational system which thrived in the past. It remained unaware of the swiftness of progress and development which came about in other walks of life and the education that was being imparted through it was also kept away from any change and innovation. As a result, the "madrasa," to some extent, fell…

Shearer, Sam – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2015
After an accomplished military career leading up to and during World War II, Truman Smith (1893-1970) was seemingly forgotten. His name was seldom mentioned after the war until his memoirs were published posthumously in 1984. History shows Smith to be an astoundingly successful figure in military intelligence. This article provides a biography on…

Haas, Brandon J.; Berson, Michael J.; Berson, Ilene R. – Social Education, 2015
The use of testimony in teaching about the Holocaust has long been a practice, relying on resources such as memoirs, diaries, and audio recordings. Having first-person accounts provides a window into the experience of those who lived the historical events that now fill the pages of text. As we mark the 70th Anniversary of the end of World War II…

Bukowski, William M.; Li, Karen; Dirks, Melanie; Bouffard, Thérèse – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2012
The idea of successful development is used as the conceptual platform for a proposal that three basic principles of developmental science be expanded. Specifically, we propose that (a) developmental science needs to be reframed as a guide for what successful development is and how it is manifested at different times of the life course; (b) that…

Quintero Polo, Álvaro Hernán – HOW, 2016
People's true selves comprise a life story that may be considered as a narrative. With that idea in mind, the purpose of this article is to report on a pedagogical intervention that bridged life stories and a narrative perspective to examine nine, out of eighty, pre-service English language teachers' (re)construction of their true selves while…

Pokorny, Helen; Holley, Debbie; Kane, Suzanne – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2017
In this study, our cross-case analysis of students' lives challenges the conventional home-university model of transition and highlights the importance of acknowledging the influence of this complex symbiotic relationship for students who attend university and live at home. We argue that as with stay-at-home holidays, or "staycations",…

Weiler, Kathleen – Gender and Education, 2014
Historical memory is constantly being reframed though images and objects presented as capturing the past. In the USA, the nineteenth-century country or one-room school has come to symbolize an authentic American experience and seen as evidence of the lost pure and simpler time. Central to the work of the rural school was the teacher, and in the…
