  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.  

This study aimed to investigate the problems and challenges met by novice teachers in Johor, Malaysia. This study explores the perspectives of the novice teachers on issues related to the problems and challenges and also supports in place to assist them in their transition from pre-service to in-service. Qualitative case study research method was adopted for this study. There are eight participants undergo interview session.

Foi realizado um estudo de caso qualitativo, com 24 alunos de um curso técnico em Recursos Humanos, com o objetivo de verificar quais são os modelos mentais que esses estudantes possuem sobre cálculos para folhas de pagamento. Ao utilizar um questionário e realizar entrevistas semiestruturadas, a fim de investigar os possíveis níveis de evolução dos modelos mentais dos estudantes, as análises mostraram que 17% dos alunos são não modeladores, ou seja, não possuem nenhuma estratégia de pensamento sobre o tema, mesmo que este já tenha sido ministrado ao longo do Ensino Fundamental e Médio. Além disso, foi observada a importância em considerar as estratégias de raciocínio dos alunos, não considerando apenas os “erros” ou “acertos” nas questões propostas. Pode-se considerar que dentro do mesmo curso diversos alunos apresentaram modelos mentais diferentes uns dos outros mesmo recebendo a mesma instrução. Esse resultado mostra a importância da reflexão sobre as práticas didático-pedagógicas utilizadas em sala de aula, uma vez que o intuito é proporcionar a todos os alunos uma aprendizagem efetiva e de qualidade que perdure ao longo da vida.

Matemática.   Mental models related to calculus learning for payrolls in a technical course Abstract A qualitative case study was carried out with 24 students from a technical course in Human Resources, with the objective of verifying what are the mental models that these students have on payroll calculations. When using a questionnaire and conducting semi-structured interviews, in order to investigate the possible levels of evolution of the students' mental models, the analyzes showed that 17% of the students are non-modelers, in other words they do not have any thinking strategy on the theme, even ifit has already been taught throughout Elementary and High School. In addition, the importance of considering the students' reasoning strategies was observed, not only considering the “mistakes” or “successes” in the proposed questions. It can be considered that, within the same course, several students presented different mental models from each other even receiving the same instruction. This result shows the importance of reflecting on the didactic-pedagogical practices used in the classroom, since the aim is to provide all students with effective and quality learning that lasts throughout their lives.

The ubiquitous nature of technology presents new paradigms for higher education as students are bombarded by information in a media-rich world. College students are taking multiple courses at a time, over many semesters, and using many different educational technologies. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to describe the experiences with interactive instructional technology from the perspective of college students. Findings identified communication as the number one priority as the lines between personal and professional lives are blurred. However, technology introduces layers of separation between students, faculty, and course content. Faculty must be comfortable with technology to build trust with students while students are required to solve problems when technology is not working.

Research on collaboration between health and social service organisations and professions often views collaboration from the narrow perspective of being between practitioners from different professions at a set point in time. This is often also focused on issues of efficacy and does not address the role of identity, values, and practices, or “culture” within collaboration, an important aspect when engaging with indigenous populations. This study presents a Kaupapa Māori qualitative case study in a small rural community, which highlights how western culture has permeated within and across a health care system. Recommendations are made to guide Crown and other western health and social service organisations and practitioners in first understanding the ongoing history of people and place, and its impact on health and social practice, and how to engage with Māori in a way that affirms, enables, and where requested supports a for Māori by Māori approach to wellbeing.

Qualitative case study research can be a valuable tool for answering complex, real-world questions. This method is often misunderstood or neglected due to a lack of understanding by researchers and reviewers. This tutorial defines the characteristics of qualitative case study research and its application to a broader understanding of stuttering that cannot be defined through other methodologies. This article will describe ways that data can be collected and analyzed.
