This Special Issue focuses on the learning of qualitative research as a legitimate and productive site of inquiry with the potential to illuminate and advance pedagogical practices. Its three objectives were (1) empowering and giving voice to new generations of qualitative research practitioners, (2) facilitating dialogue across the divide between the teaching and learning of critical qualitative research, and (3) mapping out a space of knowledge production and accumulation in critical qualitative research. The Issue includes five articles written by junior scholars or graduate students with or under the supervision of their mentors/supervisors. From different angle and to varying degrees, they touch on the role of teacher in the teaching/learning, the emotional aspect of learning, and the institutional context within which the learning takes place.

Resumo: Alguns educadores e educandos estão descontentes com o atual sistema de ensino. Com as inúmeras transformações sociais a maneira de ensinar e aprender também foram modificando ao longo dos anos, assim tanto professores quanto alunos percebem algumas práticas pedagógicas como desatualizadas. Sabemos que as transformações são inevitáveis e necessárias, todavia o desafio fica estabelecido para os professores que necessitam adequar ensino, aprendizagem, tecnologias e sociedade às suas práticas diárias mudando ou reformulando sua didática. Dessa forma o presente artigo objetiva enfatizar a importância da didática, através de discussões acerca das linhas pedagógicas, da formação do professor e do papel da didática proporcionando reflexões que permitam novos olhares sobre o ensino-aprendizagem.  Mediante a esse contexto para lecionar é necessária formação didática? O domínio do conteúdo é mais importante para o desempenho do professor do que a didática? Apresenta-se um estudo de abordagem qualitativa através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Conclui-se, dessa forma, que como disciplina importante e fundamental a didática conduz o trabalho, unindo teoria e prática permitindo um processo de aprendizagem significativa.Palavras-chave: Didática; prática; formaçãoAbstrat: Some educators and students are unhappy with the current education system. With the countless social changes, the way of teaching and learning have also changed over the years, so that both teachers and students perceive some pedagogical practices as outdated. We know that transformations are inevitable and necessary, however the challenge is established for teachers who need to adapt teaching, learning, technologies and society to their daily practices by changing or reformulating their didactics. Thus, this article aims to emphasize the importance of didactics, through discussions about pedagogical lines, teacher training and the role of didactics providing reflections that allow new perspectives on teaching-learning. Through this context, to teach is didactic training necessary? Is the mastery of content more important for teacher performance than didactics? A study with a qualitative approach is presented through a bibliographic search. It is concluded, therefore, that as an important and fundamental discipline, didactics conduct the work, uniting theory and practice allowing a meaningful learning process.Keyword: Didactics - practice - training

Society is demanding more sustainable and socially responsible business models. Therefore, the concept of sustainability has become a cornerstone to help understand the success of many firms in the current competitive context. However, the context of SMEs has received little attention thus far. In order to solve this gap this article analyses the links between sustainability practices and business outcomes—both financial and non-financial (i.e., image and reputation)—for small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). In addition, the study strives to analyze the potential differences between family firms and non-family firms. To this end, a quantitative study is carried out using PLS techniques to analyze a sample of SME owners and managers with a view to testing the proposed model based on the Stewardship Theory and Socioemotional Wealth Theory. In this sense, our study is pioneering in that it aims to assess—from a quantitative viewpoint—the moderator role of family firms on a series of relevant sustainability-driven outcomes. The data suggest that, in SME contexts, sustainability influences the corporate reputation, brand image, and financial value of the company. Importantly, we find that the profile (family vs. non-family) of the firm moderates the links between sustainability and business outcomes. Hence, our findings have important implications for sustainability implementation in SME contexts. Finally, we provide a series of guidelines aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of sustainability-based business practices.

This review aims to provide a concise overview of the role of (digital) data and new data practices in schools. By focusing on the impact of data on pedagogical practices, it aims to shed light on how the everyday tasks of teachers and other pedagogical staff in schools are changing, particularly as a result of the generation and use of digital data. For this purpose, existing studies and previous theoretical debates on this topic are examined for their perspectives on data and data practices in schools. The pedagogical data practices of (improving) teaching and learning, assessment and counseling, (data-driven) decision-making, and cooperation and collaboration by “doing data” will be elaborated and discussed. Likewise, data practices that are missing from the studies are identified. We conclude with an overview of blind spots and further research needs.

The two very prominent methodologies are GTM and CLT in the education system in teaching & learning English in Bangladesh. To show the importance of the combination of these two phenomenal methods is the purpose of this paper. In Bangladesh GTM is commonly used for a long time, and at present CLT is also a very famous method. In this paper, the two methods are elaborated clearly in effective teaching and learning of English in Bangladesh. The study focuses on GTM and CLT in respects of achieving four skills, accuracy/fluency, teaching-learning process, handling the students’ feelings and emotions, the role of the native language of students, the language skills that are emphasized, and the way of teacher’s response to students’ errors. Though CLT is the more beneficial method nowadays GTM also has some positive things to offer. Based on the data and findings, this paper has also presented some suggestions for effective teaching and learning of English in Bangladesh.

The future of higher education is intrinsically linked with developments on new technologies and computing capacities of the new intelligent machines. In this field, advances in artificial intelligence open to new possibilities and challenges for teaching and learning in higher education with the potential to fundamentally change governance and the internal architecture of institutions of higher education. The role of technology in higher learning is to enhance human thinking and to augment the educational process, not to reduce it to a set of procedures for content delivery, control, and assessment. With the rise of AI solutions, it is increasingly important for educational institutions to stay alert and see if the power of control over hidden algorithms that run them is not monopolized by tech-lords. This chapter will cover all the positive and negative aspects of AI technologies on teaching, learning, and research in higher education.

There is a strong link between student engagement and successful educational outcomes which is driven by the actions of and interactions with educators. In the context of pandemic pedagogies, many educators have taken on additional responsibility for the wellbeing and engagement of their students. The performance of this emotion work is strongly connected to an educator's professional and philosophical stance about the role of caring in teaching and learning. Building on the principles of care ethics with autoethnographic reflection of emergency remote teaching, this chapter presents a model of student engagement which reflects the additional needs and demands of care-based education on both educators and students. This model outlines for the enactment of deliberate, sustainable, and care-ful engagement based on an assessment of learner needs as well as educator investment and contributes insights for shaping (post pandemic) pedagogical practices.
