Do Haptic Representations Help Complex Molecular Learning? (2011)
Journal Article
Bivall, P., Ainsworth, S., & Tibell, L. A. (2011). Do Haptic Representations Help Complex Molecular Learning?. Science Education, 95(4), 700-719. https://doi.org/10.1002/sce.20439

This study explored whether adding a haptic interface (that provides users with somatosensory information about virtual objects by force and tactile feedback) to a three-dimensional (3D) chemical model enhanced students' understanding of complex mole...

A teacher of the deaf reported a change in perspective following her involvement as a participant in a therapeutic intervention known as video interaction guidance (VIG). We applied a model of transformative learning to validate this report and to e...

“They discluded me”: possibilities and limitations of children’s participation in inclusion research in South Africa (2011)
Journal Article
Walton, E. (2011). “They discluded me”: possibilities and limitations of children’s participation in inclusion research in South Africa. Perspectives in Education, 29(1), 83-92

Beyond realising the right of children and young people to be heard in routine interactions, there is much scope for research with (rather than on) children. This is particularly pertinent in the field of inclusive education where there is potential...

Widening and increasing post-16 mathematics participation: pathways, pedagogies and politics (2011)
Journal Article
Noyes, A., Wake, G., & Drake, P. (2011). Widening and increasing post-16 mathematics participation: pathways, pedagogies and politics. International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 9(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10763-011-9281-4

This paper explores the potential impact of a national pilot initiative in England aimed at increasing and widening participation in advanced mathematical study through the creation of a new qualification for 16 to 18 year-olds. This proposed qualif... Read More about Widening and increasing post-16 mathematics participation: pathways, pedagogies and politics.

An analysis of metaphors used for inclusive education in South Africa (2011)
Journal Article
Walton, E., & Lloyd, G. (2011). An analysis of metaphors used for inclusive education in South Africa. Acta Academica, 43(3), 1-31

Metaphors may delay the implementation of inclusive education. They describe ideas, construct thinking, and have implications for practice. By drawing on various theories of metaphor, the article analyses metaphors that occur in White Paper Six: spec... Read More about An analysis of metaphors used for inclusive education in South Africa.
