Inside Out

The paper argues that Swedish preschool teachers tend to be depicted mainly as subjects for policy implementation when it comes to their mission to teach in preschool. Taking the perspective of inside-out-professionalism, the paper aims to make visible how preschool teachers have developed professional knowledge about teaching from within the preschool context. The methodology is based on content analysis of semi-structured interviews with ten experienced preschool teachers. Teaching is defined openly as a conscious arrangement for learning. Dewey’s notions of experience, environment and subject content further informed the interpretation of the results. Two main categories were discerned, both emphasising the experience and active participation of the child: identifying potential subject components in children’s experience, and arranging an environment in which the child becomes a part. Each main category further included two sub-categories. Thus the present issue of implementing teaching in preschool could gain from research on established preschool practice based on inside-out-professionalism and made visible through Dewey’s theorical lens.

Abstract Introduction: Homelessness is increasing among young adults in large cities. According to the United Nations, there are more than one bilion absolute or relative homeless people in the world. This study was conducted to explain the lived experiences of homeless youth in southeastern Iran.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with a conventional qualitative content analysis in Kerman, southeastern Iran, in 2020. The participant was young homeless adults aged 18-29 years, who were using homeless shelters provided by municipality, sleeping in parks or on streets. Data were collected through 13 in-depth and semi-structured interviews and three focus group discussions. Data were analyzed by Granheim and Lundman’s qualitative content analysis.Results: The main category of “lonely, annoyed and abandoned in society” and three subcategories of Aversion to society, comprehensive harassment and lack of comprehensive support were extracted. The experiences of young homeless adults showed that they escaped from community due to addiction, feeling like a burden to others and social isolation, and not only have they been left without support in society, but they have also suffered from all kinds of physical and psychological harassments.Conclusion: The lived experiences of homeless people show that in addition to appropriate facilities and living conditions, they require respect, reduced social stigma, discrimination, and favorable conditions for return to life. Therefore, authorities should identify and settle their problems and needs.

Embora recentemente haja uma participação ativa das mulheres no mercado da construção civil, a ocupação desse espaço ainda é predominantemente masculina. Diante desse contexto, o estudo objetivou analisar a opinião que trabalhadores do sexo masculino da construção civil possuem sobre a inserção das mulheres nesse setor. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com trabalhadores de diferentes empresas do ramo, situadas na cidade de Lavras (MG). Os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo e os resultados evidenciaram que, apesar de a maioria dos entrevistados demonstrarem não ter nenhuma dificuldade em trabalhar com mulheres, ainda há discriminação no que diz respeito à capacidade de realização de tarefas consideradas de competência do sexo feminino e masculino na construção civil. Even though there has been an active participation of women in the building construction market more recently, the occupation of this workspace is still predominantly made by men. In this context, the study aimed to assess the opinion that construction male workers have about the insertion of women in this sector. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with workers of different companies of that industry, located in the city of Lavras (MG). Data were analyzed using content analysis and the results showed that, although most of them do not seem to have any difficulty in working alongside women, there is still discrimination regarding the ability to perform tasks traditionally considered to be of female and male competence in the sector of building construction.

This study investigates the preachers and their Friday sermons in Lebanon, raising the following questions: What are the profiles of preachers in Lebanon and their academic qualifications? What are the topics evoked in their sermons? In instances where they diagnosis and analyze the political and the social, what kind of arguments are used to persuade their audiences? What kind of contact do they have with the social sciences? It draws on forty-two semi-structured interviews with preachers and content analysis of 210 preachers’ Friday sermons, all conducted between 2012 and 2015 among Sunni and Shia mosques. Drawing from Max Weber’s typology, the analysis of Friday sermons shows that most of the preachers represent both the saint and the traditional, but rarely the scholar. While they are dealing extensively with political and social phenomena, rarely do they have knowledge of social science

AbstractIn recent decades the preschool has leaned more towards a learning-oriented pedagogy, where the subject of technology has been given a more prominent place. Still, studies on how individual preschool staff members perceive and teach technology is scarce. This study shows how seven preschool staff in Sweden describe their work with the subject of technology and how technology education is characterized in these descriptions. The data was produced by means of semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire and analyzed with narrative analysis. The results show very diverse practices of technology education, implying the learning possibilities for children in different preschools are not equal. Some of the staff describe a clear and conscious teaching of technology, while others describe teaching what can be viewed as a limited and/or shallow technology education, where technology is sometimes used as means for learning other subjects or contents rather than being the learning objective. Six ways to characterize technology education was found, namely: technology education (1) concerns technological objects and systems in children’s environment, (2) concerns learning to handle technological objects, (3) is doing experiments, (4) involves developing abilities, (5) is naturally included in children’s play and (6) departs from digital technology.

Introduction Current non-pharmacological treatment options for people with schizophrenia are limited. There is, however, emerging evidence that sensory modulation can be beneficial for this population. This study aimed to gain insight into sensory modulation from the user’s and the treating staff’s perspectives. Method A qualitative content analysis design was used. Transcripts from occupational therapists ( n=11) and patients with schizophrenia ( n=13) derived from in-depth semi-structured interviews were analysed for themes using content analysis. Results Five themes emerged from this study: Service user education on the sensory approach is the key; A variety of tools should be tried; Sensory modulation provides a valued treatment option; There are challenges of managing perceived risk at an organisational level; and There is a shortage of accessible and effective training. Conclusion People with schizophrenia and treating staff had congruent perceptions regarding the use of sensory modulation as a treatment option. The findings suggest that sensory modulation can be a valued addition to treatment options for people with schizophrenia. We suggest further research on sensory modulation intervention effectiveness using quantitative methods so these results can be further explored.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Parental perceptions of the etiology of their child’s ASD can affect provider–client relationships, bonding between parents and their children, and the prognosis, treatment, and management of children with ASD. Thus, this study sought to examine the perceptions of ASD etiology of parents of children with ASD. Methods: Forty-two parents of children diagnosed with ASD were recruited across Texas. Semi-structured interviews were conducted individually. All interviews were recorded and later transcribed verbatim for content analysis utilizing NVivo 12.0 (QSR International, Doncaster, Australia). Results: The content analysis identified the following themes regarding parental perceptions of ASD etiology: Genetic factors (40.5%), environmental factors (31.0%), problems that occurred during pregnancy or delivery (23.8%), vaccinations (16.7%), other health problems (7.1%), parental age at the time of pregnancy (4.8%), and spiritual or religious factors (2.4%). Conclusions: The parental perceptions of ASD etiology were diverse, but several views, such as vaccinations and spiritual or religious factors, were not based on scientific evidence. Health professionals and researchers can use these findings to develop and provide targeted education to parents who have children with ASD. Our findings also support policymakers in developing campaigns designed to increase parental ASD awareness and knowledge.

This study empirically investigates the involvement of actors in the process of energy-efficiency improvements in operations to align strategic sustainability goals across and within operations. The study analyzes development efforts stemming from actors’ decisions and actions that contribute to the process of energy efficiency improvements using semi-structured interviews and secondary information. Data is analyzed using thematic coding. The study deepens the understanding of how firms undertake the transition towards integrating strategic goals for energy efficiency into operations by strategizing for energy efficiency improvements through actors’ involvement. By exploring actors at both strategic and operational levels, and their decisions and actions, the study includes examples of different approaches, namely, top-down vs. bottom-up and inside-out vs. outside-in, thereby conceptualizing the process of energy-efficiency improvements in terms of a framework that outlines the entities of this process. The study further provides an integrative framework for the development efforts by different actors and presents propositions for incorporating energy-efficiency improvements in daily strategic and operational decisions and actions instead of regarding it as a separate or an add-on process.

This article discusses Iranian family members’ attitudes towards the culturally profiled nursing home, their relationships with the staff, the obstacles, their hopes and their fears. This study is based on qualitative research using 29 semi-structured interviews with family members who had previously been informal caregivers, as well as using fieldwork, all in the same nursing home. The interviews were analysed by the three steps of content analysis. The results show the identification of three main categories with nine main subcategories. The categories and subcategories in the table clarify and explain how the interviewees tended to compare the situation in Iran with that in Sweden, how they perceived the situation in Sweden and finally how they also saw the culturally profiled nursing home.

Resumen:Se estudia si la percepción de los conocimientos profesionales (disciplinares y pedagógicos) de las educadoras de párvulos de Chile está asociada al nivel de conocimientos que realmente tienen. Con este fin se aplicaron dos instrumentos de recogida de datos, previamente validados. El primero fue un cuestionario diseñado sobre la Encuesta Nacional Docente realizada por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. El segundo fue la prueba INICIA (Ministerio de Educación de Chile, 2013), aplicada anualmente a los alumnos egresados de las carreras de educación parvularia. Los resultados indican que el nivel de conocimientos técnicos y pedagógicos de las educadoras de párvulos es extremadamente bajo, lo que se ve agravado por una falsa percepción acerca de su nivel de formación disciplinar y pedagógica. Las conclusiones apuntan a que la profesión de educadora de párvulos en Chile tiene un gran desafío formativo por delante. Abstract:It examines whether the perception of professional knowledge (disciplinary and pedagogical) of preschool teachers in Chile is associated with the level of knowledge they actually have. With this aim, two instruments of data collection were applied, previously validated. The first was a questionnaire designed on National Teacher Survey conducted by the Ministry of Education of Chile. The second one was the INICIA (Ministry of Education of Chile, 2013), applied annually to the pupils of nursery education. The results indicate that the level of technical and pedagogical knowledge of pre-school teachers is extremely low, which is exacerbated by a false perception of their level of disciplinary and pedagogical training. The findings suggest that the profession of nursery teachers in Chile has a great educational challenge ahead.
