Knowing and Learning as Creative Action: A Reexamination of the Epistemological Foundations of Education
AvA. Stoller
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
496 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In Knowing and Learning as Creative Action, Aaron Stoller makes the case that contemporary schooling is grounded in a flawed model of knowing, which draws together mistakes in thinking about the nature of the self, of knowledge, and of reality, which are contained in the epistemological proposition: 'S knows that p' (SP). To the contrary, Stoller argues that the German conception of Bildung must replace SP thinking as the guiding metaphor of knowing within educational research and practice. Central to this reconstruction is a theory of creative inquiry which claims that knowledge emerges from embodied, social engagement in the world and therefore knowing is a form of creative action. Stoller constructs a new paradigm of knowing and learning as an emergent process of creative making, the goal of which is the cultivation of what he calls maker's knowledge, which is the capacity for and habit of creative action.

MOOCs in Motion
AvLeonard J. Waks
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016
594 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Winner of the Outstanding Book Award (Society for Professors of Education)This book offers a re-assessment of the educational and occupational value of MOOCs based on developments since 2013. When MOOCs appeared--amidst great fanfare in 2012, leaders proclaimed an educational “revolution.” By 2013, however, dramatic failures, negative research findings, and sharp critiques ended the MOOC hype. This book examines both MOOCs and prior distance learning innovations, and offers a broad overview of their educational, economic and social effects. Chapters explore ties between MOOCs and emerging pedagogical models as well as exponentially rising tuition rates, student debt, and chronic underemployment of university graduates worldwide. It offers readers a comprehensive, up-to-the-moment guide to the MOOC phenomenon.

Ethics, Aesthetics, and Education
A Levinasian Approach
AvDonald S. Blumenfeld-Jones
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016
557 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores Levinas’ phenomenology of ethical motivation. Levinas is grounded in “radical alterity”, the knowledge that ethics exists only when we are fully separate from someone else, allowing us to experience connection with one another. In this book, the author locates this ethics in embodiment, emotions, and imaginations and explores the intersection of aesthetics and education.
Brief History of Schooling in the United States
From Pre-Colonial Times to the Present
AvEdward Janak
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
755 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book presents a sweeping overview of the historical and philosophical foundations of schooling in the United States. Beginning with education among the indigenous peoples of the Americas and going on to explore European models of schooling brought into the United States by European colonists, the author carefully traces the arc of educational reform through major episodes of the nation’s history. In doing so, Janak establishes links between schools, politics, and society to help readers understand the forces impacting educational policy from its earliest conception to the modern day. Chapters focus on the philosophical, political, and social concepts that shaped schooling of dominant and subcultures in the United States in each period. Far from being merely concerned with theoretical foundations, each chapter also presents a snapshot of the “nuts and bolts” of schooling during each period, examining issues such as pedagogical devices, physical plants, curricular decisions, andfunding patterns.
Jefferson’s Revolutionary Theory and the Reconstruction of Educational Purpose
AvKerry T. Burch
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 479 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book newly interprets the educational implications of Thomas Jefferson’s revolutionary thought. In an age where American democracy is imperilled and the civic purposes of schooling eviscerated, Burch turns to Jefferson to help bring to life the values and principles that must be recovered in order for Americans to transcend the narrow purposes of education prescribed by today’s neoliberal paradigm. The author argues that critical engagement with the most radical dimensions of Jefferson’s educational philosophy can establish a rational basis upon which to re-establish the civic purposes of public education. Bracketing the defining features of Jefferson's theory throughout each of the chapters, the author illuminates the deficiencies of the dominant educational paradigm, and charts a new path forward for its progressive renewal.

School Uniforms
New Materialist Perspectives
AvRachel Shanks,Julie Ovingtonm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 716 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This edited volume brings together a new materialist approach to understanding the various legacies and controls being exercised through school uniforms. Through examining school uniform policies, the editors and their authors highlight the embodied choices that contribute to a socio-materialist understanding of democracy and social justice. Uniform policy plays a distinct role in setting the culture of compulsory school education and as such it constitutes a set of under-theorised school practices. This work thus brings together critical perspectives from education, sociology, cultural and postcolonial studies within an overarching analysis of how uniform imposes performances that have a formative effect on young people’s identities and economic positionality.

The Rise and Fall of a World-Famous Experiment
AvMichael Knoll
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The Laboratory School is presumably the most famous experimental school of the progressive education movement. Founded in 1894 by John Dewey and President William R. Harper, the Laboratory School existed at the University of Chicago for seven and a half years, and even after more than a century, remains a beacon of hope and inspiration for many educators. The present volume ventures to provide the first institutional history of the Laboratory School and to situate the school in its contemporary context. Drawing on new archival and historical materials, the book tells the story of a legendary school experiment that experienced a steep rise and a dramatic fall due to unsuitable structures and unfortunate decisions.

Education and Decolonial Futures in the Philippines
Perspectives for Educators and Practitioners

Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 502 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book is a unique and provocative study that weaves personal and historical narratives, diverse theoretical frameworks, and futures thinking. Using critical bricolage methodology and the Indigenous method of pakikipagkuwentuhan (storytelling), Rodriguez-Fransen amplifies the voices of Filipina educators as they interrogate and re-conceptualize colonial mentality as a systemic rather than an individual problem, and bridges the gap between educational theory and practice by creating new teaching and research tools, for scholars and practitioners in various sectors around the world: the Decolonial Portals and Decolonial Design Futures frameworks. This book takes readers on a journey through time, highlighting the interconnectedness and fluidity of past, present, and future stories of our world; it encourages all of us to recognize colonial mentality as a global problem, and calls for transdisciplinary, cross-sector, and cross-country collaborations in order to decolonize education and our futures.

Capitalism, Political Society, and the Struggle Over Institutional Rule
AvDaniel B. Saunders
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 676 kr
Kommande
This book reconstructs the changing relations between higher education, capitalism, and state power in the United States. Drawing on Gramsci’s concept of the integral state, it examines those relations across historically uneven university forms: the corporate university, the market university, and the emerging State university. It shows how each form organizes knowledge, administration, labor, and legitimacy through uneven and contested relations with political society, while asking higher education to carry promises of security, mobility, and democratic possibility that it cannot redeem on its own. The present reorganization of higher education becomes especially visible in Florida, where inherited university forms are being redirected toward more direct political rule. The book concludes by asking how higher education might become a site for rebuilding democratic capacity rather than preserving the neoliberal university or yielding to authoritarian rule.
Progressive Education Revisited
The Case of the Project Method
AvMichael Knoll
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 823 kr
Kommande
The project method, a hallmark of the American progressive education movement, ranks among the most influential instructional approaches worldwide. Yet its origins and evolution—shaping classrooms and universities in Europe and the United States for over 450 years—have been largely overlooked. This study ventures to provide the first comprehensive account of that development, tracing the method from its Italian and French roots to its transatlantic transfer, examining its elaboration during the Progressive Era, and exploring, among other highlights, John Dewey’s critique of William H. Kilpatrick’s provocative definition of the project method. From a conceptual and historical perspective, it illuminates the trajectory of the progressive education movement—charting its little-known beginnings and analyzing its defining discourses.

A Case Study of the Chivalric Ethos
AvAdam I. Attwood
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
1 075 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book theorizes aesthetic classroom management through a hermeneutical approach with three fields of literature: history and philosophical foundations of chivalry, chivalry’s promulgation through the Victorian Age, and parallel issues of identity in twenty-first century teacher education. The aim of the book is to examine the relationship between chivalric ethos and education. The presented case study addresses more specifically the following question: how can chivalry be re-imagined or theorized in an educational setting? Few studies address the concept of aesthetics and hermeneutical context in American classroom management and classroom life, and Attwood pinpoints and traces the medieval social concept of chivalry through the centuries and argues it has manifested itself in classroom social construction in the twenty-first century.
Empirical Philosophical Investigations in Education and Embodied Experience
AvJoacim Andersson,Jim Garrisonm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Drawing on John Dewey and the later Ludwig Wittgenstein, this book employs philosophy as a conceptual resource to develop new methodological and analytical tools for conducting in situ empirical investigations. Chapter one explores the philosophies of Wittgenstein and Dewey. Chapter two exposits Deweyan ideas of embodiment, the primacy of the aesthetic encounter, and aesthetically expressive meaning underdeveloped in Wittgenstein. Chapter three introduces the method of practical epistemological analysis (PEA) and a model of situated epistemic relations (SER) to investigate the learning of body techniques in dinghy sailing. The concluding chapter introduces a model of situated artistic relations (SAR) to investigate the learning of artistic techniques of self-expression in the Swedish sloyd classroom.
