Morality stories: How narratives define explanations of ethics
Narratives underpin thinking about ethics and definitions of morality and this is important for education. Theories of ethical development and therefore of education rest on definitions of what constitutes 'morality', and on assumptions about how this develops in the individual, under what social and educational conditions. These 'theories' are based in scholarly philosophy and psychology, but also permeate ordinary lay thinking and everyday mean…
Romantic Transfer from Thermodynamic Theories to Personal Theories of Social Control: A Randomised Controlled Experiment
The transfer of learning is arguably the most enduring goal of education. The history of science reveals that although numerous theories have been transferred from the natural sciences to the socio-political realm, educational practitioners have often deemed such transfers romantic and rhetorical. We conducted an experiment that randomly assigned a sample of 292 college freshmen in China to two groups to learn different thermodynamic theories: en…
Introduction: The Emergence of New Civics
New Civics has emerged in the last three decades in order to expand the definition and scope of ‘participation’ beyond elections and voting, to include the wide range of civic activities that contribute to effective democracy. The emphasis is on agency and responsibility, critical thinking and the skills for informal as well as formal action. The implications for both formal and informal education include going beyond knowledge of local political…
Compliant, Cynical, or Critical: Chinese Youth’s Explanations of Social Problems and Individual Civic Responsibility
This article explores how school-aged Chinese youth make meaning of the civic roles of citizens in the context of a society with a powerful one-party government. We examined how 16 focus groups ( N = 64) of adolescents from urban and rural schools in Shanghai and Nantong talked about the causes and solutions of social problems facing China. Our analysis revealed a broad range of explanations of social problems, framed by contrasting narratives ab…
Pluralism, Perspective, Order and Organization: The Fault-Lines of 21st Century ‘Cultures’ and Epistemologies
The original Two Cultures debate has been told and retold as a struggle for the moral high ground; the entitlement to define ‘culture’ and especially the route to understanding humanity. Later skirmishes and attempts to define a ‘Third culture’ snatched elements of these and the battleground shifted, with the strangely playground-sounding claims that science had ‘won’. However I will argue that more interesting features of the debate were the und…
Global Patterns in Students’ Views of Science and Interest in Science
Academic stress in Chinese schools and a proposed preventive intervention program
While American educators fret about the mediocre educational performance of American students in international contests (e.g. the Program for International Student Assessment) and wonder why the Chinese education system produces such high-achieving students, educators, journalists, and public officials in China want to know what causes and how to prevent the high levels of academic stress that Chinese students, their families, and their school sy…

Strengths of Public Dialogue on Science‐related Issues
This essay describes the value and validity of public dialogue on science‐related issues. We define what is meant by ‘dialogue’, the context within which dialogue takes place in relation to science, and the purposes of dialogue. We introduce a model to describe and analyse the practice of dialogue, at different stages in the development of science, its applications and their consequences. Finally, we place the practice of dialogue on science‐rela…
Constructing the Citizen
Discussions of citizenship and citizenship education have been conducted largely within the worldview of stable, Western societies and have been based on psychological models that emphasize individual cognition. The concepts of citizenship that evolved in this context have become taken for granted. But during the past decade, different concepts of citizenship have arisen from emergent democracies, from societies in transition, from the dissolutio…

Myths, monsters, and morality Understanding 'antiscience' and the media message
This paper argues that we can only understand the problematic public images of science and acrimonious conflict between 'science' and 'antiscience' by appreciating the cultural context in which these exist, and the role that myth and metaphor play in framing some of our deepest concepts. There are three ancient myths, for example, which reflect profound anxieties about our relationship with the natural world – Pandora's Box, The Sorcerer's Appren…
Communitarianism and the Social Construction of Morality
The emergent message of “Communitarianism” is challenging the tradition of liberal rationalism that has sustained much recent research in moral development. This is much more than a matter of values; behind these two positions are very different ways of thinking about psychological and social processes. Liberal rationalists come out of a strongly cognitive, individualistic psychological tradition, while communitarians speak in the language of her…
