            <description><![CDATA[Public education in the United States intertwines with politics. The historical accounting of public education in America, from funding and regency to learning standards and assessments, reveals politician's direct public education at national, state, and local levels (ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education, 1994; No Child Left Behind Act, 2002). Although this political-education nexus presented throughout the country's history, it experienced heightened engagements in recent years as statements, beliefs, and activities were widely debated and, in some cases, codified into law (American Association of University Professors et al., 2021; Office of the Governor, 2022; The White House, 2023, para. 44; Turley, 2022). While much research and theory exist on the practice of education's engagements with and through politics (Apple, 1996; Giroux, 1981; Giroux &amp; McLaren, 1986; Ladson-Billings, 2006; McLaren, 2016), research by Epps and Wilcoxson (2024) revealed a previously unidentified educational practice, Implied Political Pedagogy, influenced and shaped by politics. Building on Epps and Wilcoxson's initial broad categorization of Implied Political Pedagogy, this article relies on a brief historical accounting of the American political-public education relationship and research data to position and expand the pedagogy's application by educators and explore its characteristics, structure, scope, and pedagogical relationships.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study aims to explore Tharu teachers’ and students’ experiences and efforts to decolonize formal education through the indigenization of pedagogical practices. Guided by interpretivist paradigm and basic qualitative research design, the study employed interviews, classroom observations, and focus group discussions (FGDs) to collect data from Tharu teachers and students. In-depth interviews and classroom observations were conducted with teachers, while focus group discussions were conducted with students. The findings revealed that experiential learning, localized instructional approaches, the development of contextualized curricula, integrative learning, the involvement of local resource persons as guest teachers, and the promotion of inclusive classroom practices grounded in community traditions were among the principal strategies employed by Tharu teachers to decolonize educational practices. These Indigenous pedagogical practices contributed to more meaningful and sustainable learning and fostered a more equitable learning environment in mainstream school classrooms. The study also offers implications for educational policy, pedagogical practice, and future research.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Pedagogy as currere reimagines teaching and learning as autobiographical, recursive, and ethically charged acts of world-making. Drawing on William F. Pinar's four-moment method—regressive, progressive, analytic, and synthetic—this paper reconceptualizes currere from a niche method of autobiographical research into a full-fledged pedagogical orientation capable of responding to pluralistic classrooms, digital entanglements, and the ongoing homogenization of education. Synthesizing contemporary curriculum theory, qualitative case studies, and critical autoethnography, the analysis demonstrates that when teachers practice pedagogy as currere they cultivate reflexive agency, foster relational fairness, and animate curriculum as a living text co-authored with students. In short, currere emphasizes we teach “who we are”—not just what method or technique. The paper concludes with a praxis model and policy recommendations for teacher education.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper develops the concept of Creative Love as a theoretical expansion of Whatever Love, grounded in Agamben's thought, to resolve a central dilemma in heutagogy: how to preserve self-directed learning autonomy while inheriting transformative educational values. Based on Critical Educational Theology principles, Creative Love creates a mutual relationship generating a space of mutual self-directed learning. In this process, each participant's existence “creates” the other's consciousness by serving as an existential boundary that enables self-discovery, with values reflecting the existential necessity of this mutual interdependence. The framework offers practical implications along with ideas for empirical research to examine its implementation.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The issue surrounding unschooling revolves around the tension between established educational norms and the desire of some parents to provide their children with a more flexible and individualized learning experience that diverges from traditional school structures and curricula. This study primarily aimed to explore parents’ motivations and perceptions about unschooling as an alternative educational approach for their children, contributing to a better understanding of this alternative teaching methodology. The study utilized a multiple case study design involving semi-structured interviews with cases of unschooling. This study was conducted in Bayawan City, Philippines. The study participants were two parents who choose unschooling as the preferred path for their children. The researchers applied the six phases for reflexive thematic analysis as described by Braun and Clarke. The researchers generated four themes: parents’ perceived benefits of unschooling, personalized learning and parental involvement together create pathways to self-actualization, concerns and critiques of traditional education, and cultivating envisioned living through alternative education. The study reveals that parents embrace unschooling to nurture their children’s innate curiosity and motivation, prioritizing a joyful, pressure-free, and individualized learning journey that fosters autonomy and lifelong learning, all aimed at enriching the child’s overall quality of life.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The objective of this narrative review was to systematize different mentors’ roles and responsibilities regarding ethical aspects of student research with human participants. The qualitative analysis of eight identified studies published since 2015 depicts the mentors in the roles of guiding, teaching, coaching, protecting, anticipating, modelling, and supporting while standing in direct relations with the mentees, the IRB, and their institution, and indirectly with research participants. Each relation results in different responsibilities for the mentors. The results portray the complex issue of power vs. responsibility distribution in the pedagogical relation between various subjects in the research process, as well as the issues of interpreting research ethics as a technocratic instrument of individual responsibilization or as a fundamentally relational, micropedagogical endeavour. The concluding part offers a comprehensive reflective framework for institutions currently facing challenges in mentoring student research with human participants, which can also serve mentors in guiding students in conducting such research.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Learning post-qualitative inquiry emerged as a new activity in education. The aim of this article is to reveal the learning peculiarities of post-qualitative inquiry among education researchers, adapting PRISMA 2020 (Page et al., 2021a, 2021b, 2021c), the main principles and thematic analysis (Braun &amp; Clarke, 2006). The scientific articles were searched in EBSCO, Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS) databases. A total of 854 were found: 444 in the EBSCO database, 391 in the Scopus database, and 19 in the WoS database. Catchii, the systematic literature review screener, helped to implement PRISMA 2020 stages: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion, and depict the PRISMA flow diagram. 34 articles were suitable for in-depth analysis. Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis was used to disclose learning post-qualitative inquiry among education researchers. Maxqda 24 software helped to identify themes and subthemes. The analysis showed that education researchers learn post-qualitative inquiry: a) through nomadic rethinking, b) through reading and writing, c) through empirical learning (material-based learning, etc.), and d) through art (visual art and performative art). This research shows that learning post-qualitative inquiry involves unconventional learning activities that foster divergent thinking and provide learners with greater creativity and freedom. – In addition, this study is significant for education theory and practice as it reveals the learning of post-qualitative inquiry, which is a rare and sensitive methodological approach. The learning of post-qualitative inquiry enables changes in the understanding of research methodologies, curriculum design, and the professional development of education researchers.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The article focuses on Latin American critical pedagogy, which is inevitably associated with the Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire – a staunch advocate of critical pedagogy and the person who is often seen as the founder of critical pedagogy. Freire’s contribution to this field is, of course, beyond question, this article describes the beginnings of critical pedagogy in the Latin American context and shows that its origins can be dated back to a period slightly before the work of Paulo Freire. To explore this the article identifies five periods in the evolution of Latin American critical pedagogy in relation to the work of its major representatives. It finds that the foundations of Latin American critical pedagogy were already being laid in the 18th century, but it was Freire who managed to present these principes on an international level. The article also looks at contemporary curriculum policy and shows that elements of critical pedagogy or its foundations can still be found in various forms in Latin American education.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Social acceptance is an important aspect of interactions in young learners and may influence children’s emotional and cognitive development. Inhibitory control, which is a partial function of executive functioning, is essential for effective impulse control and self-regulation. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between social acceptance and inhibitory control in primary school children. In this study, the Delis-Kaplan Executive Functions System (D-KEFS) subscales for measuring inhibitory control (Delis et al., 2001) and the Self-perception Profile for Children (SPPC) subscale of the Social Acceptance Questionnaire (Babinčák et al., 2012) were used to measure the values of the variables. The sample consisted of randomly selected 141 children in their fourth year of primary school with a mean age of 9.4 years. Results showed a significant positive correlation between the level of social acceptance and inhibitory control. Specifically, children who felt more accepted by their peers showed higher impulse control and behavioral regulation. The findings revealed that the development of inhibitory control may contribute to better social acceptance and thus to positive cognitive and emotional development in students.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The transition between kindergarten and school life has long been an international focus. In Denmark, political attention is given to the idea of community as a key element to children’s wellbeing in general and during times of transition in particular. Inspired by sociological theories we set out to explore the ambivalence of community. We analyse how kindergarten teachers and children navigate dilemmas between sameness and difference in a Danish experimental project that aims to ease the transition between kindergarten and school by encompassing the need for a cohesive class community whilst accommodating the uniqueness and individual needs of the children.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study examines how secondary-school students recognize and relate to artificial intelligence (AI) and the meanings they attribute to it in their everyday lives. Using a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design, we explore the subjectivities of a purposive sample of 576 students from both public and private schools. The analysis focuses on students’ use of AI across seven dimensions: teaching–learning, ethics and morality, emotions, personal development, cognition and creativity, social construction, and recreation and entertainment. Data were collected with an ad hoc instrument that showed high internal consistency (α = 0.89). The findings reveal a variety of positions, including emotional ambivalence, ethical uncertainty, autonomous learning, and diverse perceptions of the creative, social, and educational effects of AI. Although students express openness and interest in technology, they also voice doubts about its integration into school practices and its influence on critical thinking and personal initiative. The results underscore the need for educational policies and school practices aligned with Education 5.0 that foster critical, ethical, and humanistic uses of technology.This research contributes to understanding the configuration of digital youth subjectivities and provides a broad framework for designing meaningful, contextualized, and inclusive pedagogical strategies that develop digital citizenship.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In Lithuania, citizenship education for preschool children was not regulated until 2022, and consequently the related issues have not yet received much attention from Lithuanian researchers. However, based on the insights of scientists from other countries it can be argued that in order for children to be active citizens when they grow up, it is important to develop their civic attitudes and behaviour in early childhood. The aim of the research presented in the article is to find out teachers’ attitudes towards citizenship education for young children in Lithuanian preschool education. Summarising the results of a structured group interview, we can state that in Lithuanian preschool education institutions, children receive only a fragmentary and superficial education in citizenship, because, on the one hand, teachers have a narrow conception/understanding of citizenship and, on the other hand, they basically do not understand the content of the citizenship education programme and what components constitute citizenship competence. However, it should be noted that teachers understand the need to change the current practice, but they do not know how this can be done.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this article is to contribute to a critical approach to analysing the new curricula and to outline student-centric approaches through an examination of legislation on educational policy applied by the Greek government in the last five years. After twenty years from the last curricula (2003), the new curricula were published in a period when the government was introducing new legislation and promoting assessment in education. The curricula for primary education, according to the authors, focus on a student-centric approach but this is not confirmed in the content and objectives, as the analysis of the curricula in this article shows. The critical analysis in this article is conducted from the perspective of critical pedagogy and contributes to the highlights on the control mechanism and the neoconservative politics on education as a control mechanism.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper explores magical realism as a theoretical lens for analysing mathematics classrooms. Traditional frameworks often overlook the complexities of teaching and learning, focusing solely on measurable aspects. Inspired by magical realism – a literary genre blending the fantastical and the everyday – I propose a new perspective on how abstract mathematical concepts connect with students’ lived experiences. This approach values ambiguity emphasises productive struggle, and advocates for culturally responsive pedagogy. It challenges linear views of learning, recognising its non-linear, insight-driven nature. While conceptual, this framework offers potential for transforming classroom practices, though further empirical research is needed to examine its impact.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Since the introduction of new legislation in 2016, questions of inclusive policy have been constantly discussed not only in schools, but also among professionals, parents, and politicians. This article is part of a larger research survey mapping the state of inclusive education at all Czech Republic secondary schools. It presents the results for two regions in order to show what attitudes and views are held by principals on the implementation of inclusion in the education system. The research was carried out as a qualitative study and semi-structured interview were employed as the research method. The obtained data were analysed using the grounded theory method. The results show that inclusion is not generally accepted by school principals. There are schools that are very pro-inclusive, but there are also schools that fundamentally reject inclusion. Initial assumptions that inclusion has been best received by general secondary schools were not confirmed. On the contrary, it turns out that the type of school does not matter as much as the attitudes of the seniors’ pedagogical staff towards inclusion. Their behaviour and attitudes significantly influence the whole school climate, which is passed on to all actors as well as how the school functions overall in working with pupils with special needs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The paper discusses the issue of homework in primary education in Slovakia. It attempts to contribute to uncovering the homework narrative that is created and used by its teaching staff and to relate it to the discourse on homework and its place in education in the Anglo-American environment. The research used content analysis of the written products of 30 participants (teachers, educators in children’s school clubs, and teacher’s assistants). Data processing and analysis were carried out by thematic analysis. The results, concentrated in four topics, showed that the homework narrative in primary education is based on homework support. It clearly resonates with the teacher’s expectation of the involvement of the pupils’ parents in its completion. However, it is without the methodical support of the parents from the school. Part of the discourse is also the teachers’ prescription taking into account, particularly, the appropriate number of tasks, their attractiveness, an individual approach when assigning them, and the comprehensibility of homework for all persons involved. Such a setting should reflect potential inequalities between pupils concerning their family background. The narrative revealed details the semantics of school-family relations and the pedagogical strategies of teachers in primary education.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Self-regulated learning is a multifaceted process that involves cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioural components. These components are interconnected and influenced by contextual factors that shape the overall learning experience. Self-regulated learning empowers students to take control of their learning by utilising effective learning techniques, engaging in metacognitive processes, and fostering motivation and self-efficacy beliefs. The goal of the article is to explore the importance of self-regulated learning in enhancing students’ academic performance and fostering a deep understanding of the learning material. Specifically, this research article explores the utilisation of learning techniques and strategies (LTSs) among pedagogy students, investigating their patterns and preferences for self-studying. The analysis of survey responses from a sample of 76 pedagogy students revealed that the most commonly used LTSs are rereading, note-taking, memorising, and highlighting. The utilisation of LTSs that are empirically considered effective, such as distributed practice, practice testing, and elaborative interrogation, was found to be extremely low. Moreover, the study revealed a lack of comprehensive training in learning techniques and strategies in pedagogy programmes, suggesting that current teachers are not adequately trained to create optimal classroom contexts for developing flexible self-regulatory skills in students. The findings highlight that by incorporating these practices into curriculum, future educators can empower their students to become active learners who select the appropriate strategies and reflect on their learning process. This paper contributes to an understanding of self-regulated learning and the implications of self-regulated learning for educational practices.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[More and more experts from the social sciences are appearing in the media to provide expert opinions on media coverage of events and social issues. However, with regard to the conditions under which media content is produced, a growing number of voices have been pointing to the fact that quasi-experts with a media interest tend to speak more in the media than scientifically trained scholars. This article conducts an analysis of media outputs to examine whether this criticism is relevant to the field of education in the Czech media landscape, and the analysis shows that in almost half of cases the so-called “education experts” commenting on education in the media were quasi-experts – people to whom the authority and status to speak on education is attributed by the media – rather than scholarly experts. The analysis results in a classification of experts on education speaking in the Czech media – they usually choose similar rhetoric and accentuate only selected educational topics.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Despite the progress in education in recent years, the marginalization of students identified as having special educational needs (SEN) persists. Students characterized as having SEN is one of the factors that could change the status quo and lead to greater inclusion. The current research project adopted a mixed methodology to investigate this possibility. The research was conducted in five secondary schools in Cyprus, and 138 people participated. As the research is now complete, we can conclude that carers of students characterized as having SEN can act as mentors of both SEN children and non-SEN childrens]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[By complying with their “job”, i.e., completing the tasks set for them by teachers, pupils develop their subject skills. They do this in a classroom setting where they can perceive each other regarding their abilities. Besides content learning, pupils, thus, also have to position themselves emotionally and action-practically towards the content-based tasks in the class context. Which corresponding reaction patterns are observable is an open research question, especially concerning the comparison between pupils taught curriculum-accordantly and those with special educational needs in learning (SEN-L) when educated in inclusive classrooms. Therefore, for this preliminary study, twenty semi-structured interviews were examined, in which the pupils were asked about what and how they had learned in the previous lessons. Data analyses were carried out using a mixed-methods approach. Distinct positioning patterns could be reconstructed, which were not strictly linked to the pupils’ level of content understanding. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between the positioning patterns of pupils with and without SEN-L, which could also be due to the comprehensive use of differentiated instruction methods in the respective lessons. In about half of the interviews, reaction patterns emerged that indicated superficially compliant participation in class but inward distancing.]]></description>
