Echeverria, Priscilla – Power and Education, 2023
This discussion article offers a revision of the meaning of educating in times of "neoliberalism" when we care about "social justice," proposing that more than a speech about it, a critical education would consist in putting efforts into developing democratic human interactions.

Weiss, Carol H.; Murphy-Graham, Erin; Petrosino, Anthony; Gandhi, Allison G. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2008
Evaluators sometimes wish for a Fairy Godmother who would make decision makers pay attention to evaluation findings when choosing programs to implement. The U.S. Department of Education came close to creating such a Fairy Godmother when it required school districts to choose drug abuse prevention programs only if their effectiveness was supported…

Stefaniak, Jill; Tawfik, Andrew; Sentz, Justin – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2023
Various theories and models discuss how instructional designers can develop systems that allow learners to engage in problem-solving.

Lakomski, Gabriele; Evers, Colin W. – Journal of Educational Administration, 2010
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to argue that emotion has a central role to play in rational decision making based on recent research in the neuroanatomy of emotion. As a result, traditional rational decision-making theories, including Herbert Simon's modified model of satisficing that sharply demarcates emotions and values from rationality…

Cleland, J. A.; Foo, J.; Ilic, D.; Maloney, S.; You, Y. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2020
Every choice we make in health professions education has a cost, whether it be financial or otherwise; by choosing one action (e.g., integrating more simulation, studying more for a summative examination) we lose the opportunity to take an alternative action (e.g., freeing up time for other teaching, leisure time). Economics significantly shapes…

Wescott, Stephanie – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
Post-truthism entered mainstream consciousness after being named "Oxford Dictionary's" word of the year in 2016, denoting a turn in the Western relationship with truth as a certain and indisputable object. Simultaneously, and paradoxically, rising distrust around teachers' professional judgement and a desire for certainty in practice saw…

Gulson, Kalervo N.; Webb, P. Taylor – Research in Education, 2017
Contemporary education policy involves the integration of novel forms of data and the creation of new data platforms, in addition to the infusion of business principles into school governance networks, and intensification of socio-technical relations. In this paper, we examine how "computational rationality" may be understood as…

Stanovich, Keith E. – Educational Psychologist, 2016
The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded in 2002 for work on judgment and decision-making tasks that are the operational measures of rational thought in cognitive science. Because assessments of intelligence (and similar tests of cognitive ability) are taken to be the quintessence of good thinking, it might be thought that such measures would…

Davis, Stephen H. – Journal of School Leadership, 2004
This article takes a critical look at administrative decision making in schools and the extent to which complex decisions conform to normative models and common expectations of rationality. An alternative framework for administrative decision making is presented that is informed, but not driven, by theories of rationality. The framework assumes…

Evers, Colin W.; Lakomski, Gabriele – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2015
The purpose of this paper is to outline some new developments in a mature research program that sees administrative theory as cohering with natural science and uses a coherence theory of epistemic justification to shape the content and structure of administrative theory. Three main developments are discussed. First, the paper shows how to deal…

Patton, Michael Quinn – American Journal of Evaluation, 2014

Scholars of decision making and expertise have found that people with great expertise are more adept at situational recognition and intentional about their decision-making processes. Several interdisciplinary fields of inquiry…
