Determinants of the capital structure and accrual-based earnings management
Authors: Comporek Michał
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The main purpose of the paper is to examine the relationship between the value of discretionary accruals and the legal and economic determinants of capital structure, which are taken into account in static trade-off theory and pecking order theory. Methodology/approach: Discretionary accruals were extracted using the Jones model and the Kang-Sivaramakrishnana model. The empirical research is based on regression analyses, variable distribution statistics, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analyses, among others. The study covered 72 public industrial enterprises listed on the Warsaw Stock Ex-change. Findings: In the studied sample, there are statistically significant relationships be-tween discretionary accruals and variables such as effective tax rate, non-debt tax shield, operating risk, enterprise size, and the operating profitability of assets. Research limitations/implications: Due to the limited sample, the research results cannot be generalized to all industrial enterprises. Moreover, the indicators of good-ness-of-fit of the regression models to the empirical data are low, which indicates the need to further explore this field of research. Originality/value: The presented research methodology is innovative in relation to the Polish capital market. Previous empirical research on this issue is limited to showing the relationship between financial leverage and discretionary accruals.
Report on payments to governments. A critical analysis of related legal regulations
Authors: Ignatowski Radosław
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The aim of this article is to analyse and assess the quality, including the clar-ity and understanding of legal regulations on preparing and presenting the report on payments to governments, which is crucial in rhw practical application of such requirements.
Methodology/approach: The methods used include studies of legal acts on reports, including related EU Directives and Polish Accounting Act with deductive critical and interpretative analyses of those regulations.
Findings: The study demonstrates that both European Union and Polish regulations on reports on payments to governments are unclear, difficult to understand, and can caus-es difficulties and a lack of comparability in practical application of provisions con-structed in this way, which is confirmed by quite rare empirical studies.
Research limitations/implications: The article points out the difficulties in under-standing and the practical application of the related regulations. To avoid inconsistenc-es and improper application, legal action should be taken (e.g., it is necessary to improve regula-tions or give additional official guidance).
Originality/value: The article provides a thorough analysis of legal regulations for preparing and presenting reports on payments to governments, not done by other Polish authors or in Polish previously.

Voracidade e inveja
Authors: Dias Talita Cristina Somensi
Published: September 2022

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo revisitar o conceito de voracidade na obra de Melanie Klein, estabelecendo diferenças e relações com o conceito de inveja apresentado pela autora. Tais conceitos serão ilustrados por meio de trechos de duas histórias infantis, “João e Maria” e “Branca de Neve e os sete anões”. Trata-se de uma reflexão que teve como ponto de partida o segundo Seminário teórico/clínico realizado no evento Melanie Klein: inveja e gratidão 60 anos, no qual apresentei um caso clínico que foi comentado por Luiz Tenório Oliveira Lima. A voracidade, de natureza oral, é inerente aos primeiros desejos dirigidos ao objeto. Surge quando os impulsos destrutivos são reforçados, em virtude das privações advindas de fontes internas ou externas (experiências de frustração). A voracidade é uma ânsia impetuosa e insaciável que visa escavar e devorar o objeto. Já a inveja é o sentimento raivoso de que o outro possui algo desejável, sendo o impulso invejoso o de tirar este algo ou de estragá-lo. Apesar de estabelecer diferenças entre os conceitos, Klein (1957) aponta para a existência de uma conexão íntima entre inveja e voracidade. É preciso lembrar que a pessoa demasiadamente invejosa é também insaciável e que a inveja é igualmente dirigida ao primeiro objeto, porém com objetivo de causar estragos. Ambas (voracidade e inveja como corolários dos impulsos destrutivos) podem perturbar a primeira relação com o objeto e dificultar o estabelecimento das identificações mais primordiais e posteriormente o estabelecimento da posição depressiva. Deste modo percebe-se que tanto a inveja quanto a voracidade estão presentes na primeira relação com o objeto e ambas, quando excessivas, prejudicam os processos primários de introjeção, bem como podem dificultar o estabelecimento do bom objeto interno e processos identificatórios. Enquanto a voracidade, em sua ânsia pela nutrição, esvazia o objeto, a inveja, que também pode ser insaciável, causa estragos e o danifica. Ambas são expressões da vida mental arcaica, amplamente trabalhada por Melanie Klein e que servem como importantes operadores do pensamento clínico atual.

Libido, desejo e carne
Authors: Ayouch Thamy
Published: September 2022

A psicanálise faz parte da “grande família de tecnologias sexuais”, Foucault argumenta no primeiro volume da História da sexualidade, e está intimamente associada à história do dispositivo de sexualidade, que constitui a sua arqueologia. A recente publicação póstuma do quarto volume desta obra permite refinar a leitura da psicanálise por Foucault e esclarecer sua filiação com o poder pastoral. A genealogia do sujeito de desejo através da problematização da carne cristã parece ser uma genealogia implícita da psicanálise. Cabe, portanto, perguntar em que consiste essa extensão indireta da arqueologia da psicanálise estabelecida na Vontade de Saber pela sua genealogia implícita nas Confissões da carne, e a que essa genealogia revela. Surge aqui a questão de saber se a própria psicanálise não pode participar dessa genealogia realizada por Foucault, assumindo sua função de “saber perspectivado” e de epistemologia situada. A explicitação dos escritos dos padres apostólicos por Foucault servirá de bússola para repensar as noções de sexualidade, poder, e sujeito nas teorizações e práticas analíticas.

Potential area of micro-irrigation and its outreach across Indian states
Authors: KISHORE P , CHAND S , SRIVASTAVA S K
Published: September 2022

Indian agriculture is predominantly dependent on groundwater and consumes nearly 89% of its total groundwater draft. With recurrence of drought and faster depletion of groundwater resources in recent past, micro-irrigation technology has emerged to play crucial role in managing irrigation water demand and sustaining food security. The policy makers, recognising gravity of water scarcity across the Indian states, have focussed water policy pivotal to micro-irrigation. So, present study aims to estimate potential area across Indian states that are suitable for adoption of micro-irrigation. For estimation, sources of irrigation and crop suitability for micro-irrigation primarily under drip and sprinkler irrigation are considered across the states for year 2018–19. Based on different combinations of irrigation sources, estimate shows that country endows an area of 72–78 million ha on which micro-irrigation can be adopted. At country level, micro-irrigation penetration to our estimates ranges from 14.71–15.81% in recent years. Further, location coefficient reveals that concentration of micro-irrigation has improved over the years, however noticeable variation exists across the states. The states with dedicated agencies to improve micro-irrigation adoption like Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat, show higher penetration. However, the state like Punjab that faces water scarcity has low penetration of micro-irrigation. Therefore, there is need to have state-specific schemes to scale up micro-irrigation area for better trade-off between environmental sustainability and food security.

Authors: SHIRGURE P S , SRIVASTAVA A K
Published: September 2022

A field experiment was conducted for four seasons (2013–17) on 12-year-old bearing Nagpur mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) plants budded on rough lemon rootstock (Citrus jambhiri Lush) at ICAR-Central Citrus Research Institute, Nagpur, Maharashtra. Six zinc-based treatments, viz. S100 as soil application of ZnSO4 (100 g/plant), S200 as soil application of ZnSO4 (200 g/plant), S300 as soil application of ZnSO4 (300 g/plant, F100 as fertigation of ZnSO4 (100 g/plant), F200 as fertigation of ZnSO4 (200 g/plant) and F300 as fertigation of ZnSO4 (300 g/plant) with uniform doses of macronutrients (450 g N + 150 g P2O5 + 150 K2O/tree/year) were evaluated in a randomized block design (RBD) with four replications on a smectite rich alkaline black clay soil. Significantly higher concentration of Zn in index leaves was observed with fertigation treatments than soil application treatments with regard to fruit yield and quality. The fruit yield was observed significantly lower with soil application of ZnSO4 (11.5–13.95 tonnes/ha with S100-S300) than fertigation treatments (15.6–16.4 tonnes/ha with F100-F300). The fruit quality parameters were observed much higher with F200 followed by F300. On the other hand, the lowest acidity (0.82%) and higher TSS to acidity ratio (11.52) were observed with F200. Hence, the treatment F200, split through 4 pulses at 40 days interval from anthesis to the fruit development stage proved highly efficient for quality production of Nagpur mandarin in central India.

Published: September 2022

A field experiment was conducted at the research farm of ICAR-Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna, Bihar during summer season of 2017 and 2018 to assess the production potential of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) cultivars as influenced by nitrogen levels. Treatments consisting 4 nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha) as main-plot and 09 sorghum cultivars including 5 hybrids (CSH 13, CSH 14, CSH 16, CSH 25 and CSH 30) and 04 varieties (CSV 15, CSV 20, CSV 23 and CSV 27) as sub-plot, were replicated thrice in a split-plot design. Results revealed that increasing levels of nitrogen from 40–120 kg/ha brought significant improvement in yield attributes and yield over control. Application of 120 kg N/ha produced a maximum grain yield (4.82 t/ha) and net returns (`79.5×103 /ha). Amidst cultivars, CSH 30 recorded significantly higher grain yield (4.92 t/ha), net returns (`82.3×103/ha), benefit-cost ratio (3.34) and economic efficiency (`843 ha/day). Hence, sorghum cultivar CSH 30 grown along with 120 kg N/ha was proved significantly better in terms of crop productivity and profitability in summer season, and may be adapted as choice of viable alternative in non-traditional area of eastern India.

Published: September 2022

Soilless agriculture is one of the advanced techniques to cultivate plants without soil, with minimal water and nutrients, and helps in vertical growth of agricultural technology. It is an eco-friendly approach widely used for commercial cultivation of quality vegetables. An experiment was conducted at University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru, Karnataka during 2017–19 to evaluate the potentiality and suitability of the hydroponics (M2) and aeroponics (M3) methods over conventional method (M1) for hybrid seed production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The experiment had 12 treatments comprising 3 methods of production, 2 parental lines (TAG 1F and TAG 2F) and 2 seed treatments (S1: Control and S2: thiram @2g/kg + chlorpyrifos @3g/kg). Hoagland nutrient solution with pH 5.5–6.5 was used for soilless systems. The results revealed that, among the parental lines, TAG 1F performed better under all the methods of hybrid seed production. Seed treatment increased the per cent survival rate to the tune of 3.26%. Aeroponics and hydroponics performed better than conventional method. Aeroponics showed significantly higher plant height (140.94 cm), fruit weight (124.54 g), total biomass (106.44 g) and test weight (0.39 g) while, hydroponics showed significantly higher number of fruit/plant (45.84) and SVI (2821). It is inferred that soilless agriculture could be a promising tool for quality and year-round healthy hybrid tomato seed production under protected cultivation.

Published: September 2022

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the supreme members of the solanaceous group which is widely grown in India. It is considered as the single and economic host of the fungus Diaporthe vexans causing fruit rot, stem canker and blight disease. The present study was carried at the vegetable research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 2019–20 and 2020–21 to screen the eggplant lines (18 cv.) for resistance against this pathogen. The pathogen was isolated from the infected fruits and confirmed by morphological and sequencing information. Artificial inoculation using pin prick method revealed the presence of variability in the lines for disease. The studied lines were categorized based on Per cent disease index (PDI) and the highest PDI value of 80–100% recorded in cultivars Pusa Shyamla, Pusa Kranti, DBL-186, DBL-187, Muktokeshi and DBSR-52 and thus categorized as highly susceptible. The cultivars NDB-25, Kashi Sandesh, Kalo Solia, DBL-175 and Debjhuri Hazari were reported to be susceptible with PDI value of 60%. In the present study, first time we have report a number of highly resistant lines, viz. BR 112, Swarna Mani, BR 40-7 and IC-112992 with 0% PDI as novel source of resistance against P. vexans. These resistant lines have significant importance in large scale cultivation as resistant varieties by farmers. They can also be further utilized as a parent in population development for the identification of gene (s)/ QTL (s) associated with the resistance.

Published: September 2022

Present study was carried out to assess the effects of soil salinity/sodicity on mineral nutrient status of Urochondra setulosa, Leptochloa fusca and Sporobolus marginatus at ICAR- Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana during 2016–19. Treatments of salinity/sodicity (pH ~ 9.5, pH ~ 10, ECe ~ 30 dS/m, ECe ~ 40 dS/m and ECe ~ 50 dS/m) were created in microplots (2.5 m × 1.5 m × 0.5 m) using saline/sodic water. Na+ and Cl– content (% DW) significantly increased with increasing sodicity/salinity stress condition in all three grass halophytes, whereas K+ content decreased. These grass halophytic species showed relatively less reduction in Ca, Mg and Fe contents up to sodic stress of pH ~ 9.5 and salinity level of ECe ~ 40 dS/m. Zn, Cu and Mn content decreased with increasing stress conditions but higher decrease was observed under sodic stress. The Na+/K+ and Na+/Ca2+ ratio was considered as indicators for measuring salt tolerance in plants. Na+/K+ ratio increased with increasing stress condition in all the three grasses but Leptachloa maintained their Na+/K+ near pH 1.0 under sodic stress condition and also maintained their Na+/Ca2+ below 1.0 up to pH ~ 9.5 and ECe ~ 40 dS/m. Higher sodic stress of pH~10.0 caused significant increase in Na+/Ca2+ in Urochondra and Sporobolus, whereas under highest salinity level, Leptachloa showed highest value for Na+/Ca2+. Changes in the accumulation patterns of nutrient in response to salinity is an important aspect and study showed highest positive correlation between Ca - Mg & Zn and negative between Na - Ca and K.

The Scope and Status of Sustainability Education in Out-of-School Settings across Denmark
Authors: Evans Henry James
Published: September 2022

Denmark has a strong foundation in terms of sustainability, making the country an interesting backdrop for studying how the overarching sustainability agenda has shaped education practice. This study investigated the scope and status of sustainability education targeted at grade 4-6 students in Danish out-ofschool science education institutions, such as natural history museums, science and technology museums, science centres, zoos and aquaria. First, a desktop review took place to map educational programmes with sustainability content. Second, five representative programmes were selected for further study. Thematic analysis of observation field notes and interviews with educators and teachers yielded four themes that collectively defined the sustainability programmes: institution, formal education, content and pedagogy. The final sections of the paper contextualise these themes, and discuss their implications for sustainability education in out-of-school practice. The study concludes by offering reflections on constructive future pathways for sustainability education.
Kreativ bearbeiding av en modell gjennom transformasjon og narrativ skriving på mellomtrinnet
Authors: Book Pauline
Published: September 2022

The article explores how 11-12 year-old pupils in linguistically diverse science classrooms utilize creative visual imaginations and mental models in meaning-making processes about life-cycles in a Bottlegarden. The students wrote narratives while imagining being inside a model (the Bottle-garden). Such transformations allow students to relate personal experiences to abstract scientific processes. Four student-texts are analyzed qualitatively. The tool for analysis is inspired by frameworks of creativity and meaning-making. The narratives revealed variation in the students´ experience with language and text, interests and attitudes. The findings indicate that writing-tasks giving students the opportunity to express themselves in imagined worlds in a scientific context, activates the students´ bodily experiences and emotions. This encourages meaning-making in different layers. The approach also represents a potential for formative assessment.

Indonesia kaya akan keragaman sumber daya alam hayati dan budaya. Salah satu keragaman yang dimiliki oleh bangsa Indonesia adalah jenis pangan lokal dan menu olahannya. Pangan lokal perlu diposisikan sebagai bagian dari sistem pangan nasional, mengingat potensi pangan lokal sangat besar bagi pencapaian ketahanan pangan dan gizi masyarakat. Pangan lokal yang beragam, disukai oleh masyarakat dan mudah didapatkan di seluruh pelosok negeri. Salah satunya adalah Tempe. Tempe dikenal sebagai super-food (makanan yang unggul). Proses pembuatan tempe yang melibatkan berbagai mikroorganisme (bakteri asam laktat, kapang, yeast dan lain-lain) melalui proses fermentasi (solid-state fermentation) menghasilkan zat-zat gizi dan senyawa bioaktif yang berguna bagi Kesehatan. Proses fermentasi (solid-state fermentation) pada produksi tempe ini menyebabkan perubahan fisik, kimia, biokimia dan sensoris dari bahan asalnya. Secara fisik, Tempe yang dihasilkan berwarna putih diselimuti miselia kapang, memiliki tekstur padat dan kompak. Secara kimiawi, terjadi peningkatan kadar padatan terlarut, protein terlarut, asam amino bebas, asam lemak bebas, nilai cerna, nilai efisiensi protein, serta skor protein, asam folat, vitamin B12 dan tokoferol. Secara biokimia, tempe yang terbentuk memiliki kandungan protein, lemak, dan karbohidrat yang lebih mudah dicerna di dalam tubuh dibandingkan yang terdapat dalam kedelai. Semoga tempe menjadi kebanggan bangsa Indonesia sebagai aset local wisdom di bidang pangan dan dapat menjadi makanan pilihan bagi peningkatan gizi, pencegahan penyakit dan perbaikan kesehatan secara umum

Data Riset Kesehatan Dasar tahun 2018 menunjukan rerata   proporsi merokok penduduk Indonesia sebanyak 28,8% atau dengan setara satu bungkus rokok perorang setiap hari. Di Sulawesi Selatan setiap hari sebanyak 22%. Di Enrekang banyak dijumpai perokok anak remaja. Sehingga Pemda Enrekang mengeluarkan Kebijakan yaitu Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Enrekang Nomor 9 Tahun 2012 tentang Kawasan Tanpa Rokok (KTR). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Dilakukan pada SMPN 1  Anggeraja tanggal 7 Desember 2020-7 Januari 2021. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah dokumentasi, dan wawancara mendalam terhadap 10 informan, yakni Kepala sekolah, Guru BK, Tenaga pendidik, Murid, Petugas Kantin dan Orang tua murid. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sudah ada kebijakan tertulis tentang Kawasan Tanpa Rokok, namun belum ada petugas yang ditugaskan untuk memantau, sosialisasi kebijakan Kawasan Tanpa Rokok melalui media   cetak maupun elektronik belum maksimal, pengumuman   kebijakan   Kawasan   Tanpa Rokok dipasang melalui Tanda Larangan Merokok, belum dipasang pengumuman kebijakan melalui, majalah dinding, dan pengeras suara. Ditemukan   terdapat perokok di lingkungan Kawasan Tanpa Rokok, siswa   yang   tidak   merokok menegur siswa yang merokok, namun tidak ada sanksi bagi yang melanggar Kawasan Tanpa Rokok. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut di SMPN 1   Anggeraja   dapat simpulkan bahwa penerapan KTR belum berjalan dengan maksimal sehingga disarankan untuk mewujudkan implementasi KTR yang   lebih   baik, dan menerapkan sanksi bagi setiap yang melanggar
Evaluation of the effect of salinity on tRNACys processing during Bacillus subtilis spore germination using RNA-seq

In its natural habitat, the soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is exposed to fluctuating environmental conditions, mainly osmotic stress and nutrient deficiency stress (Marles-Wright and Lewis, 2007; Schultz et al., 2007). When nutrients are depleted, this bacterium generates spores that germinate to form vegetative cells when nutrients become available again in the medium (Bremer, 2002). In this regard, the molecular mechanisms of tRNA accumulation during sporulation are a priority, as they play an essential role in translation during spore germination and its subsequent growth phase (Keijser et al., 2007). The effects of salt stress on gene expression have been previously analyzed during germination and growth. However, the processing of tRNAs under these conditions has not been extensively studied. In this study we investigated the profile of tRNACys in B. subtilis spores and growth in the absence/presence of 1.2M NaCl.
Non-coherent detection of dust in photovoltaic systems in series configuration using Lipschitz exponent
Authors: Seuret-Jiménez Diego , Trutié-Carrero Eduardo
Published: September 2022

Failures in photovoltaic systems are a problem of great importance because they cause a deterioration in the production of electrical energy, among which is the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic system. This paper proposes a method to detect dust on the surface of a photovoltaic system in series configuration. In addition, shows by visual inspection that the IV characteristic of a photovoltaic panel is equal to the IV characteristic of a photovoltaic system. To obtain the results, 120 signals were used, 60 for the design of the method and the rest for the validation of the method. The proposed method only yielded 2 false positives out of 30 signals where there was no fault present.
Molecular interaction between ionic liquids with lignin dimers

Biomass is an alternative to using fossil fuels. It is made up mainly of agricultural and forestry residues. The main components of biomass are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignocellulose (Li, 2015). Due to the structure of lignin and its chemical properties, chemical products based on aromatic compounds and fuels can be obtained (Sangha, 2012). However, its recalcitrant nature and the difficulties encountered in effecting depolymerization, coupled with its low solubility with common organic solvents, result in conversion processes that use extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and acidity (Hicks, 2011). Ionic liquids (ILs) are advantageous solvents for the conversion of lignin to a value-added product due to their ease of dissolving it. In this work we studied the interaction of nine different ILs, formed between the [EMIM+], [BMIM+] y [HMIM+] and the anions [BF4-], [OAc-] and [Cl-], whose use has been reported in the industrial pretreatment of lignocellulose (For, 2007), and lignin dimersderived from coniferyl alcohol (one of the basic units of lignin), which contain the characteristic β-O-4 bond of the biopolymer. Born-Oppenheimer (DMBO) quantum molecular dynamics calculations were performed with the BIOVIA 2016 Materials Studio program (BIOVIA, Dassault Systèmes, 2017), varying the pressure and temperature conditions with the micro canonical assemblies NVE and NVT. The results obtained with the NVE and NVT assemblies show that for some LIs the interaction is favorable and for others there is a great destabilization of the Lignin-IL interaction.

Increasing Below Level Readers Fluency and Comprehension
Authors: Knott Shawnee , Tovey Shannon
Published: September 2022

Year after year, students enter the classroom several grades below grade level yet are expected to perform as an on-grade level student. One of the major learning gaps, that is daunting to see in fourth grade, are students who are extremely below grade level in the area of reading. To an outsider, it may look as though it is only one subject. No big deal! Unfortunately, reading is the foundation to all content areas. A student who is not successful in reading will most likely have difficulties in other areas of learning. Reading provides the foundation of understanding and that foundation begins with reading fluency. Researcher Timothy Rasinski, along with countless other researchers, such as Kodan and Akoyl, The National Reading Panel, and Samuels and Leberge, carry the belief that students who build a foundation of fluency through practice and increase that fluency will develop the ability to comprehend on higher levels (2003). Without this foundation, the learning gap begins and continues to widen year after year. Thus, showing the huge relationship between reading fluency and reading comprehension (Rasinski, 2003). These below grade level readers need interventions that meet them where they are and push them forward to meet their learning goals - enabling them to become better readers. The purpose of this study was to address the needs of below-level readers and to aid in the vertical alignment of research-based interventions and methods in grades 3-5.
How Can Teachers Motivate Reluctant Readers
Authors: Lehman Maggie
Published: September 2022

Motivating students to read is an important aspect of being an elementary reading teacher. Five second graders and their teacher were involved in the original work that this article is based on. Through classroom observations and one-on-one interviews, this research showed the importance of motivating reluctant readers. This article focuses on one student (Ben) in particular and his struggles with reading motivation. Through this lens of motivating reluctant readers, this article proceeds to share ideas of how classroom teachers can motivate reluctant readers in the classroom setting. Teachers can do a variety of things to motivate theirstudents to read. One of the first things teachers need to do is get to know their students. Teachers also need to utilize a variety of motivating reading experiences to help motivate students as well as create an engaging and open literacy environment. A final way teachers can motivate their students to read is to implement motivating and relevant classroom activities. Utilizing these ideas to motivate readers will hopefully work to create lifelong learners.

Diversity in Literacy Education: How Are Literacy Teacher Educators Preparing Teacher Candidates?
Authors: Piper Rebekah E. , Sharp Laurie A. , Raymond Roberta D.
Published: September 2022

K-12 classrooms are becoming increasingly more diverse. In order to address the literacy learning needs among all students more effectively, literacy teachers must be sufficiently prepared to address diversity in literacy education. This study explored current preparation practices among literacy teacher educators in one state located in the Southern United States and used sociocultural theories as a lens to better understand reported practice. Qualitative data were collected from 57 responses provided to an open-ended question included on an electronically disseminated survey. Data were analyzed with coding and constant comparison techniques, which resulted in three major themes: coursework, authentic contexts, and resource materials. Findings emphasized a strong need for literacy teacher educators to examine and evaluate their current preparation practices and identify ways to strengthen them to address multicultural education, critical pedagogy, and critical literacy more explicitly. Limitations for this study were addressed, along with recommendations for future studies.
