The Lexicon Project: Analysing pedagogical naming systems from different cultures to reconceptualise classroom practice and advance educational theory

教室仍然是制度化学习的主要场所。它们的文化特性给国际比较研究带来了挑战。需要采取新的办法。在国际上，我们的教育理论、研究和实践描述都是以英语为框架的，它命名了课堂的一些方面，但忽略了其他语言命名的关键方面。这限制了我们获取、连接和适应其他文化智慧的能力。词汇项目将启动跨文化对话，以确定来自选定的亚洲和欧洲教育社区的教学术语，并将其作为分析工具，以分类，询问和丰富我们的课堂实践，课堂研究和教育理论。

Classrooms remain the principal site of institutionalised learning. Their cultural specificity poses challenges for international comparative research. New approaches are needed. Internationally, our educational theories, research and descriptions of practice are framed in English, which names some aspects of the classroom, but ignores key aspects named in other languages. This limits our capacity to access, connect and adapt the wisdom of other cultures. The Lexicon Project will initiate cross-cultural dialogue to identify pedagogical terms from selected Asian and European educational communities and use these as analytical tools to categorise, interrogate and enrich our classroom practice, classroom research, and educational theorising.
