Purpose This paper aims to suggest that classroom instructors should reflect and revise their pedagogy to lead a classroom designed to produce future information professionals who will be prepared to serve their communities in a radical way. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews the literature related to radical and humanizing pedagogies and then features an auto ethnographic case study which details how the author implemented some of the strategies. Findings Formal study of pedagogy can improve the library and information science (LIS) teaching and learning process. Practical implications Examining pedagogy in a formal way yields concrete suggestions for improving classroom management and content delivery. Social implications Using a radical pedagogy can improve relationships between teachers and learners, and learners will be able to model the classroom strategies in their own professional practice. Originality/value The study builds upon current examples of radical practice in the field and examines how such practices can be instilled even earlier in LIS graduate classrooms.

One of the problems that can be encountered in children is developmental delay. Children with these limitations certainly need the form of special education services that are adequate and in accordance with the characteristics of the limitations of each child, so they are able to help children with special needs in learning. One form of educational services is the homeschooling program. Therefore researchers were interested in knowing how the steps taken by schools in determining learning strategies, types of learning strategies undertaken and steps in classroom management implemented in ABC'D homeschooling so learning objectives can be achieved. This type of research was observational using qualitative methods with case study design. Respondents in this study amounted to 5 people, namely the principal and representatives of teachers / educators in learning ABC Homes, as well as parents of children who study at ABC Homes, Homes class Mliwis. The results showed the steps carried out at ABCD Homeschooling in determining student learning strategies through stages: identification of the attributes / characteristics of obstacles in children, determining what teaching goals children should be able to achieve after completing a learning experience, choosing learning strategies, choosing material / appropriate materials to achieve goals, test strategies and materials (try it on children), conduct performance evaluations / observe the achievement of goals on children / students. The Learning Strategy applied in ABCD homeschooling was the ABA method, as well as other methods such as the method of task analysis, gradual teaching and motor perception training. Classroom management in homeschooling learning in Mliwis was carried out by placing students according to the type of child barrier and also adapted to the stages of children's abilities in one class. One suggestion that researchers can provide is if possible the need for variations in learning with visual methods (video / film) to help achieve learning objectives.   Keywords: Home shcolling, development delays ABSTRAK   Salah satu permasalahan yang dapat jumpai pada anak-anak adalah keterlambatan perkembangan. Anak-anak dengan keterbatasan tersebut tentu memerlukan bentuk layanan pendidikan khusus yang memadai dan sesuai dengan karakteristik keterbatasan masing-masing anak, sehingga mampu membantu ABK dalam belajar. Salah satu bentuk layanan pendidikan tersebut adalah homeschooling program. Oleh karena itu peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui bagaimanakah langkah-langkah yang ditempuh sekolah dalam menentukan strategi pembelajaran, jenis strategi pembelajaran yang dilakukan dan langkah-langkah dalam pengelolaan kelas yang dilaksanakan dalam homeschooling ABC’D agar tujuan pembelajaran dapat tercapai. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan rancangan disain studi kasus. Responden dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 5 orang yaitu kepala sekolah dan perwakilan guru/pendidik pada pembelajaran Homeschooling ABC’D, serta orangtua murid anak yang belajar di Homeschooling ABC’D kelas Mliwis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan langkah-langkah yang dilaksanakan di Homeschooling ABCD dalam menentukan strategi pembelajaran siswa melalui tahapan: identifikasi atribut/karakteristik kendala pada anak, menentukan tujuan pengajaran apa yang harus bisa dicapai anak setelah selesai mendapatkan suatu pengalaman belajar, memilih  strategi pembelajaran, memilihan materi/bahan yang sesuai untuk mencapai tujuan, uji strategi dan materi (mencobanya pada anak), melakukan evaluasi performansi /pengamatan pencapaian tujuan pada anak/siswa didik. Adapun Strategi Pembelajaran yang diterapkan di homeschooling ABCD adalah metode ABA, serta metode lainnya seperti metode analisis tugas, pengajaran bertahap dan latihan persepsi motorik. Pengelolaan kelas pada pembelajan homeschooling di Mliwis dilaksanakan dengan cara menempatkan siswa sesuai jenis hambatan anak serta disesuaikan pula dengan tahapan kemampuan anak dalam satu kelas. Salah satu saran yang dapat peneliti berikan adalah jika memungkinkan  perlu adanya variasi pembelajaran dengan metode visual (video/film) untuk membantu mencapai tujuan pembelajaran.

Teachers’ accurate understanding of Inquiry-Based Science Teaching (IBST) is crucial for the proper enactment of this pedagogical approach. In this research, a qualitative case study design was used to explore and interpret pre-service teachers’ understanding of IBST at the conclusion of their three-year primary diploma at a university in Swaziland. Data were collected using a semi-structured teaching scenario-based questionnaire in conjunction with individual semi-structured interviews. Thirty-four participants completed the questionnaire and eight of them were subsequently interviewed. The data were analyzed using a conceptual framework of IBST that outlines two dimensions of IBST; namely the cognitive and guidance dimensions. The results show that in the cognitive dimension, participants focused mainly on the procedural domain. With regard to the guidance dimension, they associated the pedagogical approach more with teacher-directed than learner-directed learning activities. This paper recommends that in training pre-service primary school teachers, teacher educators must broaden their focus from procedural aspects of IBST to include all its aspects; thereby developing their pre-service teachers’ holistic and deep experiences of IBST. Keywords: inquiry-based science teaching, primary school, pre-service teachers, scenario-based questionnaire, IBST understanding.

  Drawn from a talk presented at the 2019 Viva Lingua Viva indigenous languages event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this article presents the findings of a qualitative case study focused on a 10-week Māori language programme, Te Hā o te Reo (“the essence of the language”) offered to staff at a New Zealand university. The article reports on the pedagogical practices employed in the course through a discussion of qualitative interview data collected for a wider study on the experiences of non-Māori students of Te Reo Māori as a second language. The analysis presents insights from a sample of adult student participants and by the courses’ chief designer and teacher. A focussed consideration of four key classroom practices suggests a teaching approach based on three Māori culture-specific pedagogical principles (Whanaungatanga—relationship-based learning; Koakoa—joy, humour; Kaupapa Māori—Māori principles and worldview), which are found to shape both course content and classroom management in ways that are well aligned with student’s needs and expectations.

Total management of overcrowded classrooms have across-the-board effects for English as a Second Language teaching and learning environments as in any subject. Greater attainment and achievements in schools depend on the choices made with regard to teacher-learner ratios that consider of classroom management. Recruitment of learners and teachers should ensure that classrooms are enabled to meet the demands of professional teaching challenges, amongst other, inidvidualised teaching and learning. The aim of the research was to explore the challenges and related matters in managing English as a Second Language overcrowded classrooms. A qualitative approach, steered by a case study design, purposively guided the study. It was deemed fit in order to understand the phenomena with deeper understanding of beliefs and situated lived experiences. Semi-structured interviews and nonparticipant observations were used as methods to generate data for analysis. The research exposed that copious problems were experienced by teachers and leaners who were subjected to overcrowded classrooms. Amongst many, noise and unruly behaviour, poor time management and teaching approaches result in such classes. Guiding principles regarding sound teacher-learner ratios should be put in place by policymakers and schools in order to support both teachers and learners for the success of teaching and learning.

This chapter chronicles the planning and classroom management practices of the first-year implementation of a 1:1 iPad initiative in a suburban, co-educational, independent, PreK-4th grade elementary school in the United States that was examined through a mixed methods QUAL ? QUAN case study. Findings demonstrate that the school's administrators and teachers engaged in pre-planning activities prior to the implementation of the iPad initiative, teachers viewed the iPads as tools in the planning process (iPads were not perceived as the content or subject to be taught/learned), and teachers flexibly employed different classroom management techniques and rules as they learned to integrate iPads in their classrooms. Additionally, the findings reveal the need for continuous formal and informal professional development that offers teachers multiple and varied opportunities to share their planning and classroom management practices, build their confidence and expertise in effective integration of iPads, and learn with and from one another.

This paper reports on a case study in which a textile-sloyd teacher sent a message to an internet-based community of practice seeking advice from other textile-sloyd teachers regar­ding how to cope with unruly boys. Two major themes emerged from a interview and the discu­­ssion on the Internet: 1) behaviour analysis and 2) coping attempts The analysis also reve­­aled two themes related to the exchange of experiences: 1) descriptions of the problem as pertaining to the pupils, the process, classroom management, freedom of choice, or conne­ction to everyday life and 2) suggested solutions, such as area of activity, competences, leader­­ship and techniques. The article concludes with a discussion demonstrating that the collegial exch­ange about disorderly boys appears to have strengthened and challenged this internet-based community of practice.
