The article presents the conceptual basis of the ALTYN ART magazine, ways of the magazine development and implementation. Finally, it is proposed to consider the concept of further development of the publication to give information, possibly, useful for other publications of a similar thematic area. Art magazines are an effective way to conduct a dialogue between creative artists, i.e. painters, musicians, designers, etc. The author aims to improve the theoretical and practical understanding of the key elements and factors that contribute to the arrangement of the social and cultural creative environment in Kazakhstan and the development of its print media. The data collection and analysis was based on the experience of creation and publication of own cultural and informational periodical, the search for new ways to develop and promote the achievements of culture, art and professional music education. The materials of the journal give a clear idea of modern culture of Kazakhstan. The focus on articles written by experts of the field of Kazakhstan’s art may get interest students in further research in this area.

Core Part

Researching everyday media practices is a messy and tricky business fraught with uncertainty. In this panel the authors ask how stories of failure, especially during fieldwork, can be rethought as a meaningful emergent method and approach. How can we productively reframe failure as a core part of the research process that cannot be subsumed into the telos of a success story after the research has been completed? How does does failure work in research? Our approach takes a different stance from dominant stories in the tech industry and geek economy, where failure is often represented in linear, heroic, gendered and individualistic ways, retrospectively rendering mess as instrumental to success. Similarly, within academia there are many research processes in which failure is instrumentalised or obscured—from writing up fieldwork into neatly packaged case-studies, to causal accounts of effective intervention. Progress narratives of knowledge production have been subject to much debate and criticism. What has been less discussed is how failures work as sometimes uncontainable aspects of research praxes—how they are endemic to the process of data collection and analysis, materializing while in the field. In this panel we suggest that these experiences are core to the thickness of fieldwork—they disclose the messiness and dynamics of the social, and should be included in the stories we tell. This panel aims to liberate discussion about failure to render it visible and core to understanding the politics and ethics of fieldwork and the research process. Through a series of stories from our fieldwork, we seek to further critical understanding of methodologies and techniques of failure, and argue for our obligations as researchers to talk about what happens when things go wrong.

This study aims to analyze the understanding of the curriculum in a post-critical perspective by students of the Elementary School of the Municipality of Vitória-ES, emphasizing the challenge of the school, in its constitution process in relation to the social construction and valorization of culture, capable of guide pedagogical practices to recognize the differences present in the school context. It was intended, by means of an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, to discuss thematic content of the post-critical curriculum, using focus groups data collection and analysis of official school documents. We conclude that the reproduction of differences happens implicitly, distancing what is proposed in school documents and what is performed inside the classrooms by teachers.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the social entrepreneurship focussed organizations in the context of challenges faced and strategic actions adopted by them during the different stages of self-sustainable business model design and implementation. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical context involves the use of qualitative multi-case-based research methodology for data collection and analysis. The sampling involves undertaking the field study of social entrepreneurship oriented organizations, which have made the perceptible socio-economic difference in the lives of the rural and semi-urban population lying at the base of the pyramid (BoP) in India. Findings – The findings of this study are presented in two complementary stages. The first stage involves presenting the narrative incorporating the emergent themes and key characteristics of the social entrepreneurship focussed organizations based on the field-research based data collection and analysis. The second stage involves mapping the challenges with the strategic actions thereby formulating a challenge-action framework. Research limitations/implications – The paper strengthens the belief in social entrepreneurship as a viable alternative for creating a market-based ecosystem at the BoP. This paper highlights the conception of social entrepreneurship in terms of challenges and corresponding strategic actions. Practical implications – The derived challenge-action framework will enable the social entrepreneurs to learn, understand, design and implement a better informed and transparent market-based business models at the BoP resulting in reduced market risks and uncertainty. Social implications – The government needs to recognize the social entrepreneurs as partners having a separate legal entity as well as consider their inputs and on-field experiences while framing the policies in favor of the BoP. In addition, the government needs to facilitate the social entrepreneurs in leveraging the government network and institutions for reaching the BoP segment. Originality/value – This study is an original contribution to the field of social entrepreneurship in number of ways. The first contribution lies in reviewing the research literature from the definition perspective. The second contribution lies in reviewing the research literature to determine the key challenges faced by the social entrepreneurs at the BoP. The third contribution lies in identifying the propositions and conceptualizing the challenge-action framework depicting the challenges faced and strategic actions required by the social entrepreneurs for successful and sustainable social intervention at the BoP.

The introduction provides an introduction to the research site, including the social and cultural context at Heartsboro Central School and in the community of Heartsboro. It addresses methodological questions, including the overall design of the research, approaches to data collection and analysis, and reflections on ethical issues involving research with children. It gives an overview of children’s musical tastes, interests, and practices, and it offers illustrative examples of “new media poetics” that set the stage for later chapters. It also situates the book in relationship to popular music studies and puts forward a theoretical approach to childhood as a social and cultural identity.

Central Tool

Narratives told in interview have become a central tool of data collection and analysis in a variety of disciplines within the social sciences. However, many researchers, particularly those who embrace a conversational analytic or ethnomethodological approach (see among others Schegloff, 1997; Goodwin, 1997), regard them as artificial and oppose them to naturally occurring stories, which they see as much richer and interesting sources of data and analysis. In this paper, I argue that the criticism against interview narratives has been justified by the lack of attention that many narrative analysts have shown towards the interview as a truly interactional context. However, I also point to some shortcomings that derive from this opposition between naturally occurring and interview narratives and to an alternative framework in which the stress is not on the kind of narrative data used for the analysis, but rather on the kind of narrative analysis that should be adopted. I argue that our methodologies of analysis cannot fail to take into account the way narratives shape and are shaped by the different contexts in which they are embedded and propose the study of narrative genres as a way of looking at the reciprocal influence of narratives and story-telling contexts. I illustrate this point looking at accounts as a genre.

Social Learning Strategies

This study investigated English-learning strategies applied by an indigenous student in Amnat Charoen Province, in the Northeast of Thailand. Despite the lack of English exposure in the area, the participant, who was an English learner at a private primary school in Amnat Charoen Province, Thailand, had an excellent English ability. The data collection and analysis were done qualitatively through interviews and observations. Based on the interviews and observations, the participant was reported using both direct and indirect strategies in learning English. The dominant direct learning strategies were memory strategies and compensation strategies. The participant developed habits to summarize learning materials and use gestures to assist the speaking practice. Also, in the frame of indirect strategies, the participant applied social strategies more frequently than other indirect learning strategies. The social strategies were obviously noticeable in the consistency to practice English by interacting with foreign teachers. Further, the social learning strategies were also believed to be the most essential learning strategies developed by the participant.Keywords: learning strategies; direct strategies; indirect strategies

This chapter outlines the feminist methodology deployed in the analysis of the case studies, which involved adopting a woman-centred approach to research and aims to gain a more nuanced understanding of the co-offending women’s experiences and stories (Letherby, 2003). The chapter also discusses the benefits of using a case study approach in criminological research and critically considers the strengths and limitations of this particular method. Finally, the chapter identifies the sources of data used i.e. newspaper articles and case and court file documents, which are used as a comparative/ corroborative tool, as well as discussing the feminist framework developed for analysis. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the benefits of using a similar approach to data collection and analysis in other criminological research.

Archaeology has an issue with "just-in-time" research, where insufficient attention is paid to articulating a research design before fieldwork begins. Data collection, management, and analysis approaches are under-planned and, often, evolve during fieldwork. While reducing the amount of preparation time for busy researchers, these tendencies reduce the reliability of research by exacerbating the effects of cognitive biases and perverse professional incentives. They cost time later through the accrual of technical debt. Worse, these practices hinder research transparency and scalability by undermining the quality, consistency, and compatibility of data. Archaeologists would benefit from embracing the "preregistration revolution" sweeping other disciplines. By publicly committing to research design and methodology ahead of time, researchers can produce more robust research, generate useful and reusable datasets, and reduce the time spent correcting problems with data. Preregistration can accommodate the diversity of archaeological research, including quantitative and qualitative approaches, hypothesis-testing and hypothesis-generating research paradigms, and place-specific and generalizing aims. It is appropriate regardless of the technical approach to data collection and analysis. More broadly, it encourages a more considered, thoughtful approach to research design. Preregistration templates for the social sciences can be adopted for use by archaeologists.
