The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences and contextual factors that influenced preservice music teachers’ self-efficacy and concerns from pre-student teaching to student teaching. Data were collected for this case study through an open-response questionnaire about participants’ ( N = 4) efficacious teaching experiences, 10 weekly e-journal reflections written during pre-student teaching ( n = 5 weeks) and student teaching placements ( n = 5 weeks at 1 placement), interviews ( n = 4), and my own researcher journal ( n = 31 entries). Preservice teachers’ self-efficacy and concerns were most impacted by teaching experiences in familiar settings. Results indicated that participants made more comments about student-impact and self-survival concerns during student teaching than pre-student teaching. Further investigation revealed that participants consistently expressed concerns for classroom management during pre-student teaching and student teaching placements. Finding ways to expedite the developmental process could reduce the amount of time that preservice teachers focus on early contextual factors and instead identify ways to improve students’ music and academic performance.

The purpose of this multiple case study was to follow the development of three music educators during their student teaching semesters and into the first years of their careers. Possible selves theory provided a framework for exploring the links between cognition, expectations, and motivation. Interviewees negotiated their social and physical contexts, which in turn shaped their self-images and conceptions of teaching and learning. Identities were constructed through personal experiences and formal study with significant others, including influential teachers, cooperating teachers, and colleagues. In these respects, classrooms served as the laboratories in which teachers learned how to build crucial relationships with their students, tested and reshaped emerging identities, and based actions and evaluation on their possible selves.

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.

Writing, which is defined as a statement of thoughts, emotions, and knowledge in a writing form, is an important skill used by any individual during lifelong. Due to this fact, writing skill have drawn more attention from educators and researchers and a number of empiric and theoretical researches have been conducted on how to acquire and develop this skill. Additionally, how this skill is transferred into classroom setting has an interest. The current research aimed to explore the writing practices in the classroom settings from the pre-service teachers’ perspectives. This research employed qualitative case study method and the data was collected though the structured observations and semi-structured focus group interviews. The fourth-year pre-service teachers studying at elementary school classroom teaching and their experienced teachers in their student teaching experience schools constituted the research sample. The data was analyzed by using descriptive techniques. The overall findings of the research showed that there was a relative lack of the practice used for developing writing skills in the classroom setting. While the grade level changed, the practices for writing di not differentiated. Based on the research findings, the recommendations were given. Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetZihindeki duygu, düşünce ve bilgilerin yazılı bir şekilde ifade edilmesi olarak tanımlanan yazma bireyin hayatı boyunca kullanacağı önemli bir beceridir. Bu nedenle yazma her zaman eğitimcilerin ve araştırmacıların ilgi odağı olmuş, bu becerinin kazanımı ve geliştirilmesiyle ilgili kuramsal ve uygulama temelli çok sayıda araştırma yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmaların sınıflara nasıl yansıdığı ise merak konusudur. Bu araştırmada öğretmen adaylarının perspektifinden sınıfta gerçekleştirilen yazma çalışmalarının betimlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma nitel yaklaşımla gerçekleştirilmiş olup veriler yapılandırılmış katılımlı olmayan gözlemler ve katılımcılarla yapılan odak grup görüşmeler yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Sınıf öğretmenliği eğitimi son sınıf öğrencileri ve bu öğrencilerin staja gittikleri okullardaki öğretmenler araştırmanın çalışma grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada gözlem ve görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler betimsel analizle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmadan çıkarılan en genel sonuç ilkokul sınıflarında yazmanın geliştirilmesine yönelik uygulamaların yetersiz olduğu yönündedir. Sınıf düzeyinin değişmesine rağmen yazma öncesinde, yazma sırasında ve yazma sonrasında sınıflarda yapılan çalışmalar farklılaşmamaktadır. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda uygulamaya yönelik öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

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. Kata Kunci : Homeschooling, keterlambatan perkembangan

Technology-enhanced learning continues to provide opportunities for increased interventions in educational programing. For teacher education programs, novelty pales in comparison to providing meaningful instruction and enduring outcomes. The use of avatars has provided integration of research evidence that increases intended behaviors; however, research is lacking on teacher self-efficacy change via an avatar experience. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and avatar use in a teacher education program. A relational study using both parametric and non-parametric designs for four different samples indicated a significant relationship between avatar intervention and teacher self-efficacy in classroom management, instructional strategies, and student engagement. The sample from a student teaching course, which had a limited number of participants, provided mixed results. More studies need to include experimental designs and isolation of variabilities in the avatar model.
