While decolonial perspectives have continuously been discussed in contemporary academic discourse in Social Work in the last two decades, yet, the complex legacies of colonialism are often left unreflected within methodological and pedagogical conceptualizations in Social Work (Harms-Smith and Rasool, 2020; Tamburro, 2013; Kleibl et al., 2020; Harm...
This study explores the epistemological beliefs of pre-service elementary teachers in Korean language education and their impact on performance assessment task planning. Grounded in the correlation between teachers’ beliefs and instructional approaches, the research aims to redefine Schommer’s (1990) epistemological dimensions in tasks designed by...
This research explores the complex interplay between race, education, and health within medical and clinical contexts, focusing on how historical and contemporary racialized knowledge systems influence medical curricula, clinical practices, and patient outcomes. By integrating Critical Race Theory (CRT), Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), and Social Ca...
Th is book is the second volume in a series on montology dedicated to the transdisciplinary refl ection of mountain research, considering the diversity of views on mountains and their problemata in the context of rapid technological development and unprecedented accumulation and dissemination of information around the world. Th e necessity for a ne...
The fact that the coloniality of power and knowledge (Quijano; 2000; Mignolo, 2007, 2011; Grosfoguel, 2013) has only been addressed poorly in Social Work contributes to what Paulo Freire (1970: 12) referred to as “a culture of silence”. A culture of silence exists where those who are oppressed are not heard in society, and where a lack of knowledge...
Ingrained social constructs of the child and childhood as a time of innocence, imagination, and wonder limit our understanding of other aspects that constitute childhood's representations and experiences. Constructs such as the child-as-future, childhood as a linear progression from deficiency to proficiency, childhood as a walled-garden etc. work...
Since the publication of Linda Tuhiwai Smith's book (1999), Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples, researchers in various disciplines in social and health sciences have increasingly become aware of the importance of adopting decolonial research methodologies. However, the transnational project of decolonization might be challe...
This theoretical work aims to revisit Jean Piaget's Genetic Epistemology
(Chiarottino, 2017) and Lev Vygotsky’s theories (Hasan, 2016) to provide a bio-sociogenetic
dynamic explanation of linguistic development (i.e., language acquisition) in light of the
theoretical developments of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (Pigliucci and Muller, 2010)

The majority of the current histories on the social facets of scientific work rely theoretically on Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, whose 'paradigm' has since become limited due to a rethinking of the epistemology of knowledge creation. Accordingly, Ludwik Fleck, whose notions allow for better micro-historiographies to surface as a...
You are a good and kind and loveable person: A postdigital proof. You are a good and kind and loveable person. In this talk, I will examine evidence for this claim and offer a proof of its veracity. My argument will unfold around the nature of what we take ourselves to be. What we are ought to be easy to determine, after all, we have as individuals...
Abstract: A common explanatory error concerns conflating epistemological roles between two domains. Here I deal with a special case: when explanations of development replace evolutionary explanations or vice versa. Ernst Mayr famously distinguished between proximate and ultimate causal explanations in biology. His view was central to keeping develo...
In this article, although we will focus on virtue ethics, we will not discuss the derivatives or types of virtue in depth. Here, we will talk about teleological virtue rather than the question of whether epistemological virtues or not. However, it is a fact that in Plato and Aristotle, teleology is closely related to epistemology. This is because k...
This article develops the term non-human near-omniscience to examine the narrative dynamics behind narrators who know almost everything and whose super-human knowledge draws on African cosmologies. Noting the prevalence of such narration in African sf, the article takes Nnedi Okorafor’s novel Lagoon as an example of non-human near-omniscience, focu...
This article investigates an overlooked question: what kind of methodological sensitivity is necessary when using Laurent Thévenot's sociology of regimes of engagement (SRE) in ethnographic research? Thévenot's call to study proximate forms of engagement 'below' the public correlates with the recent turn to non-representational methodologies in eth...
The increasing irrelevancy of reported results in psychology to their conjectures has been growingly well-documented. There is also a shift of emphasis from methodological to theoretical shortcomings. Inasmuch as the attention devoted to the replication crisis is justified, the call that methodological drawbacks are hardly addressable unless the th...
The paper discusses the various philosophical approaches to scientific research in the field of human and social sciences (post-positivist philosophy, constructivist philosophy, and pragmatist philosophy), and the extent of their influence on choosing a suitable research method through discussing and analyzing concepts and theories related to the r...
This article provides a narrative review on the concept of dialogue within STS and Deliberative Democracy academic literature. Through this review I find that dialogue has been used in unsystematic, conflicting and sometimes even misleading ways that conflate dialogue and deliberation. Dialogue is used flexibly as an epistemological standpoint, an...
This study addresses a question about the similarities and differences between original mathematical works in complex analysis and contemporary textbooks, regarding the use of figures (conceived as two-dimensional drawings) to address concepts in this branch of mathematics. In order to answer this question, we analyzed the four main textbooks that...
The purpose of this article is to take account of the particularity and bias of Jacques Chatué's essentially comprehensive analysis of Basile-Juléat Fouda's contribution to Black African philosophy. Indeed, at a time when the quest for the authenticity of African philosophy is being played out through the epistemological means of a return to pheno-...
For the last many centuries, Islam has been discursively represented in the Orientalist discourses. These discourses are intertextually well-linked and share the same epistemological grounds. So, the broader focus of this study is to explore the linguistic modes, discursive strategies, and intertextuality of the Orientalists' discourses representin...
Overwhelmingly, philosophers tend to work on the assumption that epistemic justification is a normative status that supervenes on the relation between a cognitive subject, some body of evidence, and a particular proposition (or “hypothesis”). This article will explore some motivations for moving in the direction of a rather different view. On this...
The Developing Indigenous Early Career Researchers Project is a three-year longitudinal study funded by the Australian Research Council investigating the experiences and perspectives of Indigenous early career researchers working in universities across Australia. In an earlier paper we explored self-identified needs of Indigenous early career resea...
I analyse the coming together of frontline actors, particularly people of colour in the US, building on the concept of ‘just transitions’ to help solve the climate crisis as ‘border thinking or border epistemology’ within decolonial thought. Frontline communities are characterised by high exposure to climate and environmental risks; fewer safety ne...
The use of Improvement Science (IS) for the dissertation in practice (DiP) must be encouraged because the questions and concerns addressed in these projects go beyond answering basic research. Authors of dissertations in practice will bring philosophical assumptions, select research designs, and situate themselves somewhere along the practitioner c...
In this presentation, we examined the role note-taking can play as a gateway to knowledge transformation in the reading-to-write process and challenged an academic focus on the teaching of paraphrasing. Much research has been done into the role that note-taking plays in lectures (Morehead et al., 2019), the impact of longhand notes compared with di...
One goal of Open Science is to promote reusability, which requires understanding and documentation. Reusability spans a spectrum from the straightforward reuse of existing materials to the extraction and adaptation of specific elements, depending on the maturity of the reused research and the research context. Beyond knowledge, understanding is cru...
This study is mainly to distinguish various meanings of patience in Quran, the word that connotes most fundamental moral and educational concepts in Quran. Then, it was also to infer its philosophical and educational implications. The key question of this study focused on the meaning of patience and its philosophical and educational implications. R...
This study explores the parallels and distinctions between belief in artificial intelligence (AI) and belief in God, analysing them through the lenses of epistemology, psychology, and social function. It examines how people form beliefs about both entities, the roles of evidence and faith, and the implications of these beliefs in guiding personal a...
In an age of unprecedented global complexity, interconnectedness, and urgency, the inadequacy of traditional, reductionist models of knowledge production has become glaringly apparent. This pioneering, landmark article offers a sweeping, paradigm-shifting exploration of the revolutionary emergence of "Mode 4" knowledge production - a fundamental re...
This research consists of an introduction to the sources of knowledge and the types of knowledge acquired by humans, followed by two main sections in which the researcher explores the impact of sensory perception and reason within the broader framework of text grammar. The researcher details the functions of sensory perception and reason, and their...
When should you believe testimony that you receive from your social media feeds? One natural answer is suggested by non-reductionism in the epistemology of testimony. Avoid accepting social media testimony if you have an undefeated defeater for it. Otherwise, you may accept it. I argue that this is too permissive to be an adequate epistemic policy...
In recent times, there has been a growing interest in the comparative analysis of Immanuel Kant and K.C. Bhattacharya’s contributions to the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, and methodology. Numerous significant works have emerged, examining the confluence of these two thinkers’ ideas within these domains. However, an area where their joint stu...
In Nordic kindergarten, activities with materials have had a significant position historically. The Norwegian term “forming” includes both the material-based craftwork and the art area. Research shows that creative activity with materials constitutes a smaller part of the content in the kindergarten than before. The aim of this article is 1) to pro...
What does it mean to decolonize or undiscipline the anthropology museum? What happens when the museum is confronted by Indigenous and descendant communities who demand an ethic of care rooted in relational ontologies and epistemologies? This article features Indigenous creativity as it has disrupted ‘business as usual’ in anthropology museums. This...
We understand that the constitution process Psychopedagogy occurs from a constant dialogic relationship between theoretical conceptions and professional interventions, from which a two-dimensional disciplinary field is formed in the sense that it is simultaneously constituted as an explanatory field of the problems it addresses and practical field...
Controversy over the relation between religion and science in the Christian and secular west has a long history. After the domination of science and marginalization of religion in modern era, secular and materialistic thinking dominated on different dimensions of human life including the scientific worldview. This way of thinking about the world an...
The purpose of this work is to describe and interpret the pedagogical experience that, from the curricular space of Sociological Theory, as a social science, epistemological, methodological, theoretical, and ethical perspectives are deployed to address the object of study of Psychopedagogy, and to intervene regarding the social subject in a learnin...
This work analyzes, from an interpretive approach, the context of academic knowledge production in Psychopedagogy, based on the documentary analysis of eleven (11) doctoral theses. Previous analysis categories were established: Research training; motives and expectations that inspired the beginning of the doctoral career; training on disciplinary a...
A new analysis of the cognitive nature of sociology of religion is the main theme of the present article. The author of this paper also makes a comparison between cognitive - theological nature of religious sociology while giving a description of them. He presents a critical review of the views of the pioneers of classical studies of religion like...
We are interested in the problem of constructing problematized knowledge, based on the observation of an
ordinary sequence (in the 2nd year of the baccalauréat). The hypothesis of this research is that certain notions are not
accessible to a majority of students because they are not problematized or even taught in a problematized form. The
probl...
Sustainability transitions are employed as a key conceptual term in science, politics and societal debate. While often employed as an umbrella term for policy programmes aiming for a more environmentally and socially conscious shift of societal conduct, the understanding of its variegated processes has sparked an array of epistemological frameworks...
Colonial epistemologies relegated the feminist agency in labour
relations, economic production and familial responsibilities in Africa. This
contradicts women experience in the face of colonial reforms that impacted their
traditional status in the family. This paper advances the bourgeoning literature
on the nexus between women, marriage and power...
This paper seeks to contribute to the carving [of] spaces that enable researchers to acompañar [walk with/accompany] a process of those that hold both ancient and cosmic knowledge carried across generations through oral traditions. Thus, it presents a pathway to a qualitative research methodology used to gather Indigenous Women’s experiences of inc...
This article examines how public inquiries come into being through a detailed analysis of the pre-inquiry phase of the UK COVID-19 Inquiry. We focus on two key points of contestation—around the timing of the inquiry and its terms of reference—and suggest that what is at stake during the pre-stage of an inquiry is its ontological and epistemological...
This book is inspired by the "Susco Project," a series of debates on sustainability in higher education that started in January 2023, involving researchers from South Africa, Nigeria, Slovenia, Canada, the UAE, and India. The discussions aimed to share insights on university-led sustainability projects and facilitate a cross-national exchange of id...
Several influential thought experiments from Harman 1973 purport to show that unpossessed evidence can undermine knowledge. Recently, some epistemologists have appealed to these thought experiments in defense of a logically stronger thesis: unpossessed evidence can defeat justification. But these appeals fail to appreciate that Harman himself thoug...
One of the most significant intellectual tensions in multidisciplinary research stems from the question of whether social sciences can be value-free. While multidisciplinary research offers the promise of comprehensive solutions, it often brings to the surface deep intellectual divisions, or "schisms," particularly concerning the role of values in...
he article analyzes P. Feyerabend's methodological anarchism and its impact on the democratization of science. It examines current epistemological issues in light of his ideas. Methodological anarchism implies rejecting universal norms in science in favor of pluralism. Feyerabend advocated for diverse approaches and freedom in choosing methods. The...
We explore transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and roboticists across a portfolio of artworks. Brendan Walker's Broncomatic was a breath controlled mechanical rodeo bull ride. Blast Theory's Cat Royale deployed a robot arm to play with a family of three cats for twelve days. Different Bodies is a prototype improvised dance performance...
Digital Scholarly Editing has followed a fundamentally conservative model over the last forty years. As a result, the epistemological advantages of digital possibilities have not yet been fully explored. The current article proposes that alternative models for editions (e.g. graphs) provide new conceptual and practical opportunities, importantly mo...
In order to analyze the possible contribution of academic listening practices to the synodal process, this article offers a reflexive analysis of two social science studies of World Youth Days. The first investigation is a historical work carried out between 2017 and 2020 on John Paul II’s World Youth Days, based on archives and testimonies collect...
Health establishments have to face and cope with an uncertain and turbulent environment in their management. They are asked at the same time to cut costs and to increase their social and economic performance. Their traditional way of managing is ill equipped to solve this conundrum. Their top-down management and compartmentalization of their organi...
Celebrated as one of the necessary solutions to more sustainable ocean governance by the UN Ocean Decade for Sustainable Development, transdisciplinarity, co-design, co-production, and co-creation of knowledge continue to be praised by a variety of scholars for their opportunities for impactful and socially significant research. However, despite in...
The ideal of objectivity in psychological inquiry has been widely challenged by feminist and decolonial scholars, who argue that knowledge is shaped by power dynamics embedded in social, cultural, and political contexts. Traditional psychology has often reinforced dominant ideologies, marginalizing diverse perspectives and universalizing findings b...
The political emergence of indigenous peoples in Brazil in the 1970s/1980s brought contributions to both the environmental and environmental education fields. The aims of this paper are to investigate contributions from this emergence to the environmental debate, mainly as related to the resumption of the concept of biocentrism; and to address some...
As language models (LMs) become integral to fields like healthcare, law, and journalism, their ability to differentiate between fact, belief, and knowledge is essential for reliable decision-making. Failure to grasp these distinctions can lead to significant consequences in areas such as medical diagnosis, legal judgments, and dissemination of fake...

Na história do Maranhão não é diferente, pois esse estado brasileiro conta com grande diversidade no que tange aos seus aspectos geográficos. Tamanha multip...
The paper is devoted to the problem of epistemic conditions of cognition of future phenomena.The problem is that the cognizable aspects of information are based on the evolutionary mechanisms of adaptation of the body, which are reduced in humans, and on the rational principles of human cognition, which are mixed with irrational prophecies. The sol...
This essay provides an analysis of the clinical problems that arise at the borderline between neurology and psychiatry. We postulate that psychopathological and neuropathological constructs have distinct referents and conceptual fields, but they are not mutually exclusive categories. After establishing criteria for defining neuropsychiatric constru...
In recent years the notion of emotional labor or emotion labor has gained prominence as an analytically robust concept to explore language teacher emotions in both western and non-western educational settings. The first aim of this article is to examine the applicability of a western concept of emotion labor to the study of language teacher emotion...
Rationale
From education to healthcare and management processes, it is important to address the experience in health within its own complexity, context, and uniqueness. At this point, qualitative studies come to the fore and this increases the need for practical guides and models for qualitative studies. Qualitative studies have a paradigm that is...
The political emergence of indigenous peoples in Brazil in the 1970s/1980s brought contributions to both the environmental and environmental education fields.

After the domination of science and marginalization of religion in modern era, secular and materialistic thinking dominated on different dimensions of human life including the scientific worldview. This way of thinking about the world an...
The rhetoric of ‘nothing about us without us’, motivates much disability inclusive research, but meaningful participation of the most marginalised is still rare. There is a tendency to recruit only people with disabilities who are perceived as ‘easier to include’. We reflect critically on recent fieldwork in Bangladesh working with local and intern...
This contribution adds a design approach to our understanding of emancipatory epistemologies within new municipalism. So far, the extant research has rarely discussed its specific opportunities and limitations, regarding their context‐bound formulation and real‐world implementation as a policy process. In contrast, the following article situates th...
The term 'normativity' refers to the principles, standards or rules that guide, constrain, or compel thinking, judgment, or action in a certain domain. Questions about what is right or wrong, good or bad, appropriate or inappropriate, acceptable or unacceptable, etc., are traditional normative questions in ethics, whereas the norms themselves, whic...
Almost all studies on social capital are characterized by the absence of incorporation of the fundamentals of social
sciences in the strict sense. In addition, it is based on certain doctrines, especially those linked to the so-called
political “pluralism”. Among the main effects of this detachment from the theoretical and epistemological bases of...
Amitav Ghosh’s verse adaptation Jungle Nama: A Story of the Sundarban (2021) retells an environmentally conscious parable from the widely popular folk legend of Bon Bibi, the guardian spirit of the Sundarbans forest. Ghosh weaves a multimodal reiteration through his eco-poetic narration of a story written in verse for collective recitation, illumin...
There is now widespread recognition of the need for inter/transdisciplinary (I/TD) approaches to solving global problems like climate change and biodiversity. Yet methods for successfully integrating knowledge across disciplines, and between research and practice, are in need of further development, particularly approaches that can ameliorate epist...
The article proposes a reflection on the contribution of the ādivāsī issue in the broader debate on Environmental Humanities in India.

Despite distinct sex- and gender-related differences in the presentation and manifestation of Crohn’s disease (CD), little research to date has considered men’s particular experiences. Whilst hegemonic masculine ideals have been reported to negatively impact men’s mental and physical health, increasingly research has emphasized that men engage in a...
This paper examines the epistemic value of other-regarding epistemic virtues, challenging the common view that these virtues are primarily moral in nature. To this end, it proposes a new framework to explain the role of epistemic virtues: the Epistemic Social Environment (ESE). It is argued that the value of an epistemic virtue stems from its contr...

Sebagai salah satu bagian dari tradisi intelektual Islam, Tasawuf adalah sebuah keilmuan yang memusatkan kajian pada pengetahuan yang sejati dan total mengenai hakikat metafisis, terutama mengenai hakikat realitas Tuhan. Meski berorientasi pada hal-hal yang bersifat metafisis, namun ia tidaklah dapat ditempuh hanya dengan berpikir sungguh-sungguh d...
We engage the decolonial option from Abya Yala, el Caribe, and Eastern Europe with an interest in suicide from our struggles as racialized people and our dehumanization, whereby, for many of us, suicide is not an act of autonomy or resistance but the reaffirmation of death as an ongoing state of living. This is the permanent reality of existence co...
The purpose of this article is to offer arguments in favor of doing broad science, which means focusing on the investigation of everything, supported by the elaboration and application of methods that make it possible to objectify reality, which includes the attempt to replicate evidence likely to come from a transcendent reality. We argue that doi...

Research, particularly biblical research, should be of interest not only to the academics but to professionals, church leaders, ministers and workers, theological institutions, and anyone who seeks true knowledge and wants to keep his/her knowledge fresh and up-to-date. Biblical Research is a purposeful, systematic, and spiritual epistemological in...
While there has been much discussion of the ethical assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, such work has rarely been combined with the parallel body of scholarship analyzing epistemic implications of AI. This paper proposes a method for joint evaluation of AI’s ethical and epistemic implications in medicine that draws on the princi...
Tafsir Al-Qur’an selalu berkembang dan ia adalah anak zamanyya. Namun orientalis mengatakan bahwa lahirnya tafsir dengan metode baru bukanlah perkembangan, melainkan adalah peperangan dan permusuhan atas tafsir sebelumnya. Akan tetapi, menurut intelektual muslim perbedaan dengan keunikannya masing-masing adalah tanda dari perkembangan tafsir itu se...
Economics like other sciences needs to solve "the problem of induction" as a methodological problem to become an experimental science. The founders of the paradigm of econometrics were to resolve the problem by the theories of "probability and statistical inference". The present paper tried to show that the paradigm of econometrics failed to achiev...
The aim of this article is to examine the philosophical legitimacy of the work of Basil-Juléat Fouda, a philosopher whose thought has marked and continues to mark philosophical discussion in Africa.
