Do So

This aim of this article is to account for the resilience of adolescents who are challenged by structural disadvantage and to highlight that how adolescent resilience is accounted for depends on whether adolescent or adult views are foregrounded. To do so, I report a South African phenomenological study. I draw on a thematic content analysis of qualitative data and subsequent frequency count of the themes to contrast how 385 Black adolescents and 284 adults (who educate or provide services to youth) explain what enables adolescent resilience in the face of structural disadvantage. Adolescent and adult explanations differed substantially with regard to personal strengths, family support, and education pathways. These differences reflect conceptualizations of resilience, which are probably related to developmental stage and cultural fluidity and which caution that, despite adult perspectives being valuable, societies need to prioritize adolescent insights.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sphere of human life and the schools across the country are closed due to the risk of spreading the virus, online teaching has become a major alternative pedagogical strategy among the private schools in particular. This article reports a study that explores how private school teachers perceive and adopt technological learning, how they transfer their technological knowledge and skills into the online classroom and how they self-assess their practices. This is done through a phenomenological study focusing on the meaning the participants make from their lived experience on ‘technological learning and application’ in the face of the pandemic. The study found that dealing with uncertainty and fear of the COVID-19 and the additional pressure for doing online teaching amidst the crisis evoked frustration and anguish among the teachers. Despite a number of challenges and crisis, teachers, however, learn to deal with the technological challenges and manage to run the class through virtual mode. Nevertheless, they assess the online delivery is not effective due to the various constraints. The study suggests for ensuring the access of ICT resources and facilities to both teachers and students, sufficient training to the both groups and digitalize curricular materials for the effective implementation of virtual learning.

AbstractThe delivery of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Bali has been fraught with difficulties, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic. This paper discusses 1) the realities of Islamic religious education in Bali, 2) the implementation of a special condition curriculum as a means of humanizing PAI education, and 3) the humanization of Islamic religious education in Bali during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employed a qualitative phenomenological study, with data gathered through in-depth interviews with school principals, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and Muslim students' parents. The data is handled in stages that include data reduction, visualization, and verification. The findings indicate that: 1) The ratio of Islamic Religious Education teachers to pupils is imbalanced; some schools even lack Islamic Religious Education teachers, and numerous parents express dissatisfaction with online learning in PAI sessions. 2 ) Curriculum implementation for special/emergency situations; some schools have implemented it as a means of increasing learning effectiveness and efficiency, while others continue to use the national curriculum, despite teacher recognition that it is unproductive. 3) The special education curriculum is considered one of the first steps toward humanizing Religious Education Islam, which, in the face of poor online learning, must also be accompanied by teachers who are accessible to parents and students. AbstrakPenyelenggaraan Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di Bali penuh dengan kesulitan yang diperparah dengan adanya pandemi. tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki penggunaan kurikulum pengaturan khusus/darurat sebagai metode memanusiakan pendidikan. Tulisan ini membahas 1) realitas pendidikan agama Islam di Bali, 2) penerapan kurikulum kondisi khusus sebagai sarana memanusiakan pendidikan PAI, dan 3) humanisasi pendidikan agama Islam di Bali pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kualitatif fenomenologis, dengan data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan kepala sekolah, guru Pendidikan Agama Islam, dan orang tua siswa Muslim. Penanganan data dilakukan secara bertahap yang meliputi reduksi data, visualisasi, dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Rasio guru PAI terhadap siswa tidak seimbang; beberapa sekolah bahkan kekurangan guru PAI, dan banyak orang tua menyatakan ketidakpuasan dengan pembelajaran online di sesi PAI. 2) Implementasi kurikulum untuk situasi khusus/darurat; beberapa sekolah telah menerapkannya sebagai sarana untuk meningkatkan efektivitas dan efisiensi pembelajaran, sementara yang lain tetap menggunakan kurikulum nasional, meskipun diakui oleh guru bahwa kurikulum tersebut tidak produktif. 3) Kurikulum pendidikan luar biasa dianggap sebagai salah satu langkah awal untuk memanusiakan Pendidikan Agama Islam, yang dalam menghadapi pembelajaran online yang buruk, juga harus didampingi oleh guru yang dapat diakses oleh orang tua dan siswa.How to Cite: Ramdhani, F.

The aim of this study was to explore the experience and perceived impact of group singing for men with cancer. Through the lens of phenomenology, semi-structured interviews were carried out with five patients with prostate cancer, focusing on their experience of cancer, singing, and the perceived impact of the choir. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Four superordinate themes emerged from the data: (a) meeting existential changes; (b) dynamic connection to others; (c) a holistic experience; (d) a positive experience. The experience of singing was viewed by participants as: something positive; a social experience; an ineffable experience; an activity that engages the whole person. The perceived impact of singing included: providing support in the face of the existential uncertainty brought about by having cancer; a dynamic connection to others; fulfilment; enhanced wellbeing; finding some form of benefit from the cancer experience. These results indicate that group singing has potential as an appropriate intervention for men living with cancer. This study, though small-scale, sheds some light on how to deliver holistic healthcare and how to optimise current choirs in health settings.

Abstract Purpose The growing group of patients who suffer from chronic cancer-related fatigue (CCRF) after cancer have helpful and less helpful ways of responding to this long-lasting and disruptive problem. This qualitative study aimed to gain insight in essential elements of how patients respond to CCRF, with a focus on helpful responses to facilitate adaptation. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 25 participants who experienced severe CCRF for at least 3 months. Participants were recruited via media, patient associations, meetings, and health professionals until data saturation was attained. We used a topic guide with open-ended questions about lived experiences. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used for analysis of the transcripts. Results We identified five interrelated themes of how patients respond to CCRF: (1) discovering physical and emotional boundaries; (2) communicating support needs; (3) reorganizing and planning activities and rest; (4) letting go of one’s habitual identity; and (5) recognizing and accepting CCRF. Conclusion This study highlights the development of new habits and positive beliefs in the face of CCRF and the importance of (social) support in this process. This experiential knowledge on helpful responses can be used to inform patients and their significant others and improve self-efficacy. Health professionals could use these insights to improve recognition of CCRF and personalize treatment.

This purpose of this inquiry is to explore how an a/r/tographic model of shared inquiry led to deeper insights about learner-centered pedagogy. Invited to teach and redesign a very large ‘Art & Society: Visual Arts’ course at a large university with a 21st century issues-based focus, together with my commitment as a constructivist, learner-centered teacher, the current phenomenological study was born. The phenomena studied was whether a large, lecture-style class taught from a more non-traditional, non-lecture, art-as-experience, learner-centered epistemology might affect students’ balanced thinking and perceptions about their learning. Students’ perceptions, along with the regulatory role of emotions, are critical factors in motivation and behavior; students’ self-beliefs about learning and their capabilities affect their behavior, resilience, and persistence in the face of challenge.Arts-based methods of inquiry with multiple forms of data, regarding both students’ and researcher’s lived experiences resulted in new artforms and informed praxis. After a student survey was determined the best way to poll perceptions about their learning in a more constructivist environment, the author’s Mixed Parallaxic Praxis method emerged from this study. Key findings indicated students’ increased openness to other perspectives and to cultural and creative experiences, increased engagement and a personal desire/thirst to create art, and a personal confidence to analyze art—despite their lack of former experience with artmaking or art instruction in high school. Qualitative and survey data informed how learner-centered practices enhance students’ self-beliefs about their abilities as creative learners, so important to overall motivation and capacity to learn overall.

The Impact

Self-transcendence has become and remains an important research theme. Little is known about the role of self-transcendence in cultivating meaningful work and its impact on the wellbeing of middle managers in the face of adversity, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the meaning middle managers attach to their work by investigating the role of self-transcendence in cultivating meaning and wellbeing in a cohort of seven South African middle managers employed in cross-boundary service industry settings. Data were collected through unstructured narratives. Findings confirm that self-transcendence serves as a coping mechanism during adversity and that it facilitates the re-negotiation of meaning, resulting in three potential shifts: the shift from a blame orientation to a work orientation, the shift from reflection to reflexivity and the shift from self-consciousness to other-consciousness. The findings also highlight how self-transcendence enables the exploration of the adaptive benefits of anxiety. The findings contribute new insights into the construct of self-transcendence and extend research on existential positive psychology. It is suggested that organizations invest in reflexive practices as a tool to promote deep learning and connectivity by exploring dialectical processes through reflexive work.
