Badinjki, Taher – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2015
Ross Dabney, J. Butt & K. Tillotson, and others think that Dickens revised the role of Edith in the original plan of "Dombey and Son" upon the advice of a friend. I tend to believe that Dickens's swerve from his course was prompted by two motives, his relish for grand scenes, and his endeavour to engage the reader's sympathies for a…

Godínez-Sandí, A.; Fallas-Padilla, D.; España-Tapia, S.; Zúñiga-Villegas, A.; Castro, Milena; Herrera-Sancho, O. A. – Physics Education, 2018
Primary level education follows a pedagogy model where literature and science have been historically separated. Natural children processes are disrupted, as learning based on play curiosity is completely transformed by a chalkboard model. Specific experimental realizations can link thinking processes based on science to study problems…

Solati, Bahman – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2016
Looking through the eyes of Persian culture, we see that man is not all noetic; he is not driven by intellect or consistent in his use of reason. On the contrary, he is most moved by emotion. A perfect example: Persian philosophy is most commonly uttered in both poetry and prose. This is, I believe, where the brilliance of Persians rests, in the…

Bogdanov, S. R.; Oversby, J.; Popov, O. A.; Teteleva, E. M. – Physics Education, 2015
Many students regard physics as an isolated, sophisticated and perhaps a boring branch of science. Meanwhile, physics is embedded in most events and issues of society, culture and everyday life. To find and include such relevant contexts is one of the challenges for every physics teacher. Here we present our findings, which concern the classic…

Gilbert, Francis – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2016
My article argues that the concept of "aesthetic learning" can be helpful for English teachers on two levels. First, it can be a useful identity for English teachers and students to adopt, based upon my own experiences as a secondary English teacher, creative writer and PhD student. Second, I argue that "aesthetic learning" is…
