Metaphor and Analogy in Science Education
This book brings together powerful ideas and new developments from internationally recognised scholars and classroom practitioners to provide theoretical and practical knowledge to inform progress in science education. This is achieved through a series of related chapters reporting research on analogy and metaphor in science education. Throughout the book, contributors not only highlight successful applications of analogies and metaphors, but also foreshadow exciting developments for research and practice. Themes include metaphor and analogy: best practice, as reasoning; for learning; applications in teacher development; in science education research; philosophical and theoretical foundations. Accordingly, the book is likely to appeal to a wide audience of science educators –classroom practitioners, student teachers, teacher educators and researchers.
Eventful Learning
A rich array of social and cultural theories constitutes a solid foundation that affords unique insights into teaching and learning science and learning to teach science. The approach moves beyond studies in which emotion, cognition, and context are often regarded as independent. Collaborative studies advance theory and resolve practical problems, such as enhancing learning by managing excess emotions and successfully regulating negative emotions. Multilevel studies address a range of timely issues, including emotional energy, discrete emotions, emotion regulation, and a host of issues that arose, such as managing negative emotions like frustration and anxiety, dealing with disruptive studen...
Emotional Expressionism
In Emotional Expressionism: Television Seriality, the Melodramatic Mode, and Socioemotionality, E. Deidre Pribram examines emotions as social relations through the lens of dramatic television serials as contemporary melodrama. She develops the concept of socioemotionality, addressing sociocultural forms of felt experience and exploring the role of emotions in forging narrative worlds. Through detailed analyses of serials like Killing Eve, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Pribram argues that the prominent role emotions play in popular mediated narratives demonstrates the crucial impact of collective emotions—activated through aesthetic attributes—on cultural storytelling. Scholars of television, communication, media, and cultural studies will find this book of particular relevance.
Methodological Approaches to STEM Education Research Volume 5
Education practitioners and researchers worldwide will benefit from engaging with this volume, and book series, which promotes critical consideration of and innovation in education research methodologies in the areas of science, mathematics, health, and environmental education. Each of the nineteen chapters in Volume 5 presents an account of methodological principles and practices and many attend directly to global challenges. For example, chapters explore philosophical underpinnings of STEM and environmental education, links between learning and workplace practices in mathematics education, engagement in STEM through Vygotskian and queer theory perspectives, a braiding of methodologies including arts-based and autoethnographic studies, the application of AI, literature mapping, as well as contractual evaluation research. An important theme is climate change education, explored through student agency, cosmetics, waste, and survey challenges as well as world-cafe and socioscientific-based methodologies. The book series is designed to raise the quality of methodological practice while considering the associated challenges that shape our educational research.
Our Emotions and Culture
In this highly readable book, Doyle McCarthy covers some of the main ways that emotions have become important in our global societies. She explains that emotional culture is important for understanding today’s world, its markets, its politics and its mass media. To live today is to be emotionally intelligent in our relations and in our workplaces. In the modern age, global capitalism and mass media have shaped our emotions and made us more emotional. Public life has become a place where we search out emotional happenings: at shopping malls, concerts, sports events, memorials to death and disaster and in the pursuit of sports.
The Sentimental Court
Analyses how atmospheres and sentiments shape the workings of international criminal law in (post-)colonial Africa and beyond.
Critical, Transdisciplinary and Embodied Approaches in STEM Education
Over the past decade, integrated STEM education research has emerged as an international concern, creating around it an imperative for technological and disciplinary innovation and a global resurgence of interest in teaching and learning to code at the K-16 levels. At the same time, issues of democratization, equity, power and access, including recent decolonizing efforts in public education, are also beginning to be acknowledged as legitimate issues in STEM education. Taking a reflexive approach to the intersection of these concerns, this book presents a collection of papers making new theoretical advances addressing two broad themes: Transdisciplinary Approaches in STEM Education and Bodie...
