Haun, Phil; O'Hara, Michael – Journal of Political Science Education, 2022
This article describes a simple two-player game which illustrates basic concepts of brinkmanship, to include calculations of probability and expected outcomes, and risk-taking profiles. The game befits a single 50-minute class period with introduction, gameplay, and discussion. The game can supplement the study of conflict from classic Cold War…

Smith, Richard – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2022
Character education in schools in England is flourishing. I give many examples of the enthusiasm for it as well as drawing attention to the UK government's new ambivalence towards it. Character education seems largely impervious to the many criticisms to which it has been subjected. I touch on these only briefly as my focus is on a criticism that…

Hess, Juliet – Music Educators Journal, 2022
To date, multiple U.S. states have passed legislation banning the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) and limiting teaching related to race, gender, CRT, and privilege under the umbrella term "divisive concepts." Against this backdrop, I argue that while CRT is not taught in schools, as a theory, it provides a crucial analytical and…

Weldon-Caron, Rachael – New Horizons in Adult Education & Human Resource Development, 2022
The racism experienced by African Americans in the workplace is a microcosm of the larger society in which dominant ideologies are present and in power. Current events have continued to expose the racialized system of oppression that serves as a silencer, an erasure, and the literal death sentence of African Americans. Human resource development…

Ryan Derickson – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Item Response Theory (IRT) models are a popular analytic method for self report data. We show how traditional IRT models can be vulnerable to specific kinds of asymmetric measurement error (AME) in self-report data, because the models spread the error to all estimates -- even those of items that do not contribute error. We quantify the impact of…

Jing Ouyang; Gongjun Xu – Grantee Submission, 2022
Latent class models with covariates are widely used for psychological, social, and educational research. Yet the fundamental identifiability issue of these models has not been fully addressed. Among the previous research on the identifiability of latent class models with covariates, Huang and Bandeen-Roche (Psychometrika 69:5-32, 2004) studied the…

Bromley, Patricia; Overbey, Lisa; Furuta, Jared; Kijima, Rie – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2021
The liberal and neoliberal world order is increasingly under attack. Global levels of democracy have been declining for over a decade, accompanied by rollbacks in some kinds of rights. We examine the implications of increasing criticisms of the (neo)-liberal era over time for educational reform discourse around the world by drawing on a unique…

Shearer, Rick L. – Journal of Open, Flexible and Distance Learning, 2021
All too often in our practice of distance education we overlook the history of the field and our theories as we embrace new technologies or, as in the past year, when we are forced to adapt to a regional or global crisis that necessitates a temporary move to a remote learning scenario. When we set our theories aside, this approach can lead us to…

Hendy, Nhung T.; Montargot, Nathalie; Papadimitriou, Antigoni – Journal of Academic Ethics, 2021
In this study, we examined the role of social learning theory in explaining academic dishonesty among 673 college students in the United States, France, and Greece. We found support for social learning theory such that perceived peer dishonesty was incrementally valid as a predictor of self-reported academic dishonesty across three countries…

Mattlin, Mikael – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
This article explores the hidden educational potential in the board game "Diplomacy." While commonly recognized as a good low-cost negotiation simulation and a useful teaching platform, the original game version over-emphasizes the conflictual nature of international relations and presents an image of international relations that is not…

Maree, Jacobus G. – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
While much has been written on the influence of Erik Erikson's contributions to education, little has been said about his place in terms of his contribution to the general theoretical notion of what it means to be a human being. This article aims to broaden current reflections on Erikson's position in the spectrum of work done on human development…

Saada, Najwan; Magadlah, Haneen – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021
The teaching of Islam in Western and non-Western societies may be located along a continuum from critical to non-critical paradigms. Islamic religious education is dominated by the non-critical paradigm and a devotional discourse of religious education. This is true in both Islamic and non-Islamic countries and is relevant to the teaching of both…

Rajbhandari, Mani Man Singh – Online Submission, 2018
Theoractive learning is an essential ingredient that can complement various academic theories, making them easier to apply to a learning environment. Although it appears that theoractive learning is the effect of the beneficial causes of teaching and learning in certain contextual settings; theoractive learning is, however, actions-oriented and…

Aksoy, Pinar; Gresham, Frank M. – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2020
From the point of view that every child is unique and valuable, the need for developing their skills and abilities, and their need for learning and development, in the context of their learning styles/developmental characteristics, must be supported. Because of social-emotional learning skills are comprehensive and very important skills, teaching…
