In this article, the author is interested to examine whether there is evidence enough to suggest that European policy on lifelong learning is now experiencing a discursive shift into what could be described as a new phase. The author uses critical discourse analysis as a methodological framework. The analysis of the empirical material points to a direction where it is relevant to speak about a new ‘phase’ of lifelong-learning discourse emerging in European policy, characterized by the urgent need for implementation.

The current study examined parental interest and attitudes in science. Furthermore, the study explored the nature of parent-to-child questioning during an interactive home, school, and community collaboration in the southeastern United States. Study results revealed largely positive family interactions and attitudes about science learning and increased parental interest toward involvement in elementary science. Results suggest that successful home, school, and community partnerships may elevate levels of parental participation in their children’s science education and the parents’ perception of themselves as being competent in assisting in science.

Over the past decade and prompted in large measure by the Bologna process, teacher education systems across European countries have converged along a common structural path. Taking Ireland as a case study, this paper examines the European agenda in relation to teacher education. The article suggests that while structurally, teacher education in Ireland has undergone significant reform in order to conform to a wider European agenda, significant gaps remain in existing teacher education policy particularly in relation to continuous professional development.

In this article,the authors focused on the civic learning experiences of high school students in two different communities to explore two interrelated ideas: 1. The power of congruence to encourage feelings of civic efficacy in youth. 2. The deep complexities of disjuncture for the civic learning experiences of youth. This project revealed both how civic action research can facilitate the connection between the curriculum and students' lives and how there are complexities in making such connections. Furthermore, congruence and disjuncture profoundly shaped these students' civic learning experiences.
