    Tacit teaching.Nicholas C. Burbules - 2008 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 40 (5):666-677.
    This essay reflects upon certain aspects of Wittgenstein's own practices as a teacher. Doing philosophy always took priority for Wittgenstein, whether this was in oral or written form: it was important to show the deep puzzles in our language (and our culture and thinking) as a step toward dissolving them. In this respect, one can teach only as a guide; it is a matter of showing more than saying. Wittgenstein's approach suggests a model that I will call tacit teaching. Tacit (...)

    Thoughts on phronesis.Nicholas C. Burbules - 2019 - Ethics and Education 14 (2):126-137.
    ABSTRACTThis essay explores the concept of phronesis in two contexts: phronesis as a virtue, in fact a meta-virtue because it guides the exercise of other virtues; and phronesis as an element in theories of practice. I argue that these two aspects are closely related, because ethics – especially virtue ethics – is best understood as a kind of practice. The second part of the essay explores some of the consequences of thinking about ethics in this way.

    How to Improve your Impact Factor: Questioning the Quantification of Academic Quality.Paul Smeyers & Nicholas C. Burbules - 2011 - Journal of Philosophy of Education 45 (1):1-17.
    A broad-scale quantification of the measure of quality for scholarship is under way. This trend has fundamental implications for the future of academic publishing and employment. In this essay we want to raise questions about these burgeoning practices, particularly how they affect philosophy of education and similar sub-disciplines. First, details are given of how an ‘impact factor’ is calculated. The various meanings that can be attached to it are scrutinised. Second, we examine how impact factors are used to make various (...)

    Philosophical Reflections on Editing.Nicholas C. Burbules - 2014 - Educational Theory 64 (4):317-331.
    In this essay Nicholas C. Burbules reviews his experiences and the lessons he learned as editor of Educational Theory for more than twenty years, and he explores some of the normative choices that are inevitably made by any editor in carrying out his or her role. Burbules examines the relationship of a journal to its intellectual field; the review process; communications and interactions with authors; the process of editing and revising manuscripts; questions of representativeness in a theoretically pluralistic field; the (...)

    How We Use and Are Used by Social Media in Education.Nicholas C. Burbules - 2016 - Educational Theory 66 (4):551-565.
    In this article, Nicholas C. Burbules explores the effects of various social media on the ways people communicate, and the implications of these effects for the use of social media in educational contexts. Facebook, Twitter, and a host of other applications are being used in increasing numbers, especially by young people. It is where they live, share, and learn, so it is to be expected that educators would want to find ways to use these technologies to engage them. At the (...)

  14. (1 other version)‘What it Makes Sense to Say’: Wittgenstein, rule‐following and the nature of education.Nicholas C. Burbules & Richard Smith - 2005 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 37 (3):425–430.
    In his writings Jim Marshall has helpfully emphasized such Wittgensteinian themes as the multiplicity of language games, the deconstruction of ‘certainty,’ and the contexts of power that underlie discursive systems. Here we focus on another important legacy of Wittgenstein's thinking: his insistence that human activity is rule‐governed. This idea foregrounds looking carefully at the world of education and learning, as against the empirical search for new psychological or other facts. It reminds us that we need to consider, in Peter Winch's (...)

    The Risky Promises and Promising Risks of New Information Technologies for Education.Thomas A. Callister & Nicholas C. Burbules - 1999 - Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 19 (2):105-112.
    Most discussions of the potential of new information technologies (IT) for education have taken one of two forms: enthusiastic proclamations of the revolutionary impact that IT can have for teaching and learning in school and nonschool settings, or dire warnings of the terrible fraud being perpetrated on society about the educational potential of IT. This essay attempts to avoid exaggerated optimism and pessimism about IT and education, while avoiding the trite oversimplification that technology is “neutral” and can be used for (...)
