Eschenbacher, Saskia – Journal of Transformative Education, 2019
This article aims at expanding transformation theory through the work of the philosopher Richard Rorty. His concept of redescription allows us to distinguish between good learning and transformative learning and to counteract the critique of conceptional looseness. In addition, Rorty's thesis of contingency and his notion of irony are going to be…

Neary, Mike; Winn, Joss – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2019
Calls to establish public education avoid the fact that public education is provided by the capitalist state whose real purpose is the market-based model of private gain. Public against private education is a false dichotomy; rather, public and private are complementary forms of capitalist regulation. Radical alternatives require a more…

Shyman, Eric – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Cox, Villegas, and Barlow (2018) published a reply to an article in which I (Shyman, 2016) argued that there were fundamental philosophical problems with behavior analytic intervention that prevent it from being considered as a humanistic approach. A number of important points were raised about the argument including criticisms and the need for…

Lortie-Forgues, Hugues; Inglis, Matthew – Educational Researcher, 2019
In this response, we first show that Simpson's proposed analysis answers a different and less interesting question than ours. We then justify the choice of prior for our Bayes factors calculations, but we also demonstrate that the substantive conclusions of our article are not substantially affected by varying this choice.

Holohan, Kevin – Journal of Transformative Education, 2019
This article examines how Zen Buddhism conceives of human suffering, the causes of suffering, and the method by which human suffering can be alleviated and compares these with similar notions within critical social theory and its educational manifestation in the critical pedagogy movement. While both Zen Buddhist and critical theories/discourses…

Buethe, John – Philosophical Studies in Education, 2019
John Buethe draws upon the Netflix series "Stranger Things" and develops this paper's ideas by using it as an allegory for and education towards subjectivity along lines suggested by Gert Biesta in "The Beautiful Risk of Education", and Jaeggi in her work, "Alienation." Buethe observes that the show places a wager on…

Elwick, Alex – Higher Education Quarterly, 2019
This paper problematises the concept of social mobility through an exploration of it in relation to Higher Education policy in England. Based upon a content analysis of a number of key policy documents from distinct eras, it identifies definitions and understandings of social mobility within them, exploring how such references have changed over…

Hand, Michael – Journal of Moral Education, 2019
Matthew Clayton, David Stevens [see EJ1233331] and Laura D'Olimpio [see EJ1233332] have advanced a series of objections to arguments I set out in my recent book "A Theory of Moral Education" -- in particular to the problem-of-sociality justification for basic moral standards. Here I reply to their objections.

Rømer, Thomas Aastrup – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2019
In this paper, I work out a five-stringed criticism of John Hattie's theory of Visible Learning. First, I argue that the theory is a theory of evaluation that denies education as such. Second, I show that there are problems with the dependent variable, learning, i.e. the effect of a given intervention. Thirdly, I show that Hattie's theory belongs…

Nikolajeva, Maria – Children's Literature in Education, 2019
This article considers alternatives to the established constructivist approaches to children's literature, exploring instead the potential of two relatively recent areas of inquiry, cognitive poetics and evolutionary literary criticism. The article questions the assumption, implied if not directly expressed by Peter Hollindale in "Signs of…

Lewis, Colin J. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2019
Despite increasing studies and applications of Vygotsky's theory of learning and development, little has been written connecting Vygotsky specifically to "moral" education. The most comprehensive attempt at formulating such an account is given by Mark Tappan. I critically evaluate Tappan's account before raising several problems for his…

Houlden, Shandell; Veletsianos, George – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Flexible approaches to online learning are gaining renewed interest in some part due to their capacity to address emergent opportunities and concerns facing higher education. Importantly, flexible approaches to online learning are purported to be democratizing and liberatory, broadening access to higher education and enabling learners to…

Reina Evans-Paulson; Christina V. Dodson; Tracy Marie Scull – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2024
Pornography often depicts traditional gender norms and aggression paired with sexual behaviour. Among adolescents, exposure to pornography is related to unhealthy beliefs about gender, sex and relationships. Critical thinking about media may reduce the internalisation of unhealthy messages in pornography. However, there is a dearth of research…

Allison Roda; Carolyn Sattin-Bajaj – Educational Policy, 2024
The widespread expansion of school choice policies has bolstered the consumer-education paradigm where parents compete for what they perceive to be a limited number of high quality schools. In this comparative case study, we examine advantaged White parents' perceptions of meritocracy in the context of a competitive elementary and high school…
