Bruce","doi":"10.1086/724401","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724401","url":null,"abstract":"In a time of for-profit schooling, continuing segregation, racism, book banning, unconscionable inequality, and antiquated approaches to pedagogy, the prescription for democratic schooling seems daunting. Yet the path is clear: We need to change society to enable democracy in schools; we need democratic schooling to bring the public out of its eclipse; and we need an engaged citizenry to address seemingly insurmountable challenges. Considerations such as this led the Schools journal to inaugurate this Symposium on Democratic Education in the Twenty-First Century. We recognize the magnitude of the task and make no claims to offer a complete or final solution. Nevertheless, the experiences reported in this and subsequent issues shine a light that aids along their path.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"20 1","pages":"140 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42052738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

City-As-School is a public experiential learning school in New York City serving older adolescents seeking an alternative to traditional high school. Descriptive Inquiry is an inquiry process developed by Patricia Carini and faculty at the Prospect School in Bennington, Vermont, that supports educators in understanding children and their own educational practice to teach for human dignity, ethical well-being, and holistic growth. The piece provides an introduction to City-As-School and briefly describes how faculty members have used Descriptive Inquiry to foster whole school professional learning and growth. The piece then details how the faculty used Descriptive Inquiry to surface and concretize shared educational principles during the 2020–21 school year, a poignant example of Patricia Carini’s notion of “making and doing philosophy in a school.”","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"20 1","pages":"122 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44498766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study also explores how to teach in a way that promotes hope. The theoretical framework of this study combines two different theories of hope, C. R. Snyder’s psychological hope theory and Paulo Freire’s philosophy of hope. This study holds that hope is critical for democratic education. To foster hope, the students were taught how to set good goals and were helped to set goals for themselves along these lines. The students also worked on a two-week project that focused on their societal hopes and fears for the future. The project was an integral part of their social studies class, a means to promote hope in students, and a way to gather data about their perceived societal hopes and fears about the future. The most common themes in the students’ hopes and fears revolved around climate change, social justice, and war and peace.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"20 1","pages":"187 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43026418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hiljanen, Riitta Tallavaara","doi":"10.1086/724403","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724403","url":null,"abstract":"Teacher education (TE) in Finland is based on strong university autonomy, including the right to decide the curriculum content and the teaching methods. Democracy and its values are generally seen as central principles for TE, and the normative basis for education promoting democratic culture is strong. However, in practice, education for democracy is not at the core of TE. On the contrary, building a culture of democracy and action with students is unsystematic and dependent on individual teachers. To overcome this challenge, we studied a group of 18 first-year teacher students focused on democracy education. The study suggests that with systematic education toward a strong conceptualization of “teachers as democratic/societal agents,” TE can promote a teacher who sets being an active and societally participative democratic individual as their primary objective. This study also shows that democratic education requires long-term education, not just single courses.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"20 1","pages":"164 - 186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44699622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carini supported the school’s community for several years in apprenticing descriptive inquiry, as they developed a stance of attending to children and families with care. The authors connect Carini’s vision of “human capacity widely distributed” with María Lugones’s ideas of “Playfulness, ‘World’-Traveling, and Loving Perception” and “Purity, Impurity, and Separation,” as well as lessons from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s work. These descriptive stories draw attention to a perspective of teaching as intellectual/philosophical and practical work. In addition, the authors contend that by taking a flexible, responsive descriptive stance, teaching can become civic, ethical, and critical work.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"20 1","pages":"52 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45666841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
