Williams, Hakim M. A. – Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, 2015
In this article, I argue that one of the gifts of the Age of Enlightenment, the ability to measure, to experiment, to predict--turned rancid by hyper-positivism--is reasserting itself globally in the field of education (including music education). I see a neoliberal, neocolonial connection--in terms of the ideologies that fuel them--between some…

Evidence-Based Practices in Special Education: A Reflection on the Philosophy, Research and Teaching
Wu, Chi Cheng; Chano, Jiraporn; Salim, Herli; Kritzer, Jeffrey – Journal of Education and Learning, 2022
Some researchers have taken evidence-based practices (EBPs) as the main solution for enhancing the learning outcomes of students with disabilities. The manner in which the application of EBPs assumes teaching strategies to be aligned with students' learning problems or disability situations betrays a mechanical approach to dealing with issues of…

While the idea of lifelong education in Spain is much older, the history of the concept begins in the 1960s. As digital libraries are becoming a source of new data for researchers, the aim of this study is to examine the history of the terms related to lifelong education and learning in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries by using data…

Heasley, Chris – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2021
Drawing from gender and queer studies, this article argues for reimagining empirical research as inclusive of the experiences of transgender and gender-minoritized communities hitherto silenced in prevailing dominant discourses of heteronormativity and the construction of gender in education. Specifically, I interrogate the influence of positivism…

YouTube has grown into an unprecedented music industry where informal learning practices converge among young musicians now considered authentic internet (micro)celebrities.

Campagnolo, Gian Marco – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
In this paper, I introduce the notion of participative epistemology and discuss how it can contribute to make social data science more accountable. I do so by offering the case of a project where ethnographic, computational and sequence analysis methods have been used in combination. By presenting here in greater detail research design and pilot…

Bolt, David – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2017
In this article the tripartite model of disability is applied to the lived experience of twenty-first-century higher education. The tripartite model facilitates a complex understanding of disability that recognises assumptions and discrimination but not at the cost of valued identity. This being so, not only the normative positivisms and…

Pula, Besnik – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2021
Comparative and case study researchers have responded to critiques of their methods by developing formal procedures to validate theoretical claims through set theoretical logics of causal conditions. This 'logico-formalist turn' has involved the stricter application of the schemas of set theory and the philosophy of logic to raise validation…

Dangaiso, Phillip; Makudza, Forbes; Hogo, Hope – Cogent Education, 2022
Blended e-learning has become a common phenomenon in higher education globally. Most affluent economies embraced e-learning by design through strategic moves to augment their competitiveness. However, in most emerging economies, e-learning implementation was impulsively reactive to the COVID-19's demands. Thus, the study examined the impact of…

Gardner-McTaggart, Alexander Charles – International Journal of Leadership in Education, 2022
The world is facing increasing crises such as climate, inequality and disease, which are set to impact student futures in devastating ways. Without a change in the way citizens think at the ballot box and the supermarket, these crises indicate an intensification of global disaster with very real consequences. This paper deploys critical theory in…
