Assisting students with learning support needs requires a collaborative approach to educational planning and the development of a multi-dimensional profile of the student. However, developing such a profile can be difficult when information is gathered from multiple sources, culturally-relevant information is not included, and incongruent or incompatible language is used in different settings. Tools are required to facilitate information gathering and collaborative educational planning practice. This article will present findings from three qualitative research projects that explored teams' perceptions of using the New Zealand Child and Youth Profile (NZCYP) for educational planning and collaboration. Individual interviews and focus groups were conducted and then analysed to identify key themes. The results suggested that the NZCYP helped to facilitate educational planning and collaborative practice, and that it may be useful in facilitating transition. A lack of a cultural fit, along with the complexity of the NZCYP, however, impacted on some participants' perceptions of it.

&quot;The Learning Theories Profile&quot; (LTP) supports professionals to locate various learning theories within four epistemological quadrants of the &quot;Matrix of Perspectives.&quot; Professionals can use this tool to identify some of the theories they hold and to reflect on the alignment between their espoused theories and theories-in-use. Forty-four resource teachers used the LTP and demonstrated that they were guided by a range of theories, most commonly interactive theories. A strong relationship was observed between espoused and in-use theories. Participants' responses indicated the positive value of the LTP for supporting professionals to analyse and optimise interaction occurring in complex contexts of practice.

The purpose of this article is to identify the types of readers' characters, to study the literary preferences of readers' characters and the influence that the book has on the inner world, to analyze the positive and negative aspects of the influence of the Internet on the reading process. This study used a content analysis design and a qualitative approach to data analysis. In addition, quantitative analysis was also used to visualize qualitative data using numerical values, fixing elements of the text content (the frequency of different types of readers). As a result of this research, interesting observations were made: reading saves teenage characters from temporary difficulties, puberty rebellion, helps to find their place in life and decide on the choice of a future profession. It also forms a culture of communication and contributes to the maturation of the characters. Using the content analysis method, the authors were able to identify such types of reading characters as developing (&quot;Spoilers&quot; by Elena Ozhich, &quot;The Perks of Being a Wallflower&quot; by Stephen Chbosky, &quot;The Book Thief&quot; by Markus Zusak), literate (&quot;Anka M and Anka P&quot; by Tatyana Mart), unformed (&quot;Death to Dead Souls&quot; by Andrey Zhvalevsky and Evgeniya Pasternak), and professional (&quot;Literodura&quot; by Yulia Linde, &quot;Black Swan Green&quot; by David Mitchell). Having considered the problem of forming a competent reader, the authors came to the conclusion about three main agents of influence on the reading taste of a teenager: teachers, parents, and friends. However, in modern realities, the Internet seriously affects the formation of a teenager's reading taste, and with the help of the use of Internet resources, it is possible to support and promote reading, as well as solve the problem of forming a competent reader.

This study aims to present the views of Muslim scholar Fadlur Rahman in the Religious Education Curriculum at the Islamic University of Indonesia in the Digital Age. The research design used is a qualitative approach. The main data collection techniques are through observation, interviews, and literature related to the research theme, namely Fazlur Rahman's thoughts on Islamic education, Islamic education curriculum, and Islamic University. The findings show that Fazlur Rahman's bringing leads to a positive goal, namely developing defensive moral standards and integrating Islamization (Islamic ideology) into the modernization of the existing curriculum to strengthen students' moral standards. More deeply, it aims to prevent negative thoughts and ideas. The Religious Education Curriculum at the Islamic University of Indonesia began to lead to a modern view through the adaptation of digital technology and filling the void of spiritual values with various scientific discourses. This indicates that the Islamic University of Indonesia accepts the modernization changes as stated by Fazlur Rahman. The expected implication is that through the development and change of Islamic religious education curriculum in educational institutions and specifically in higher education in the digital era, it is not only about digital-based learning methods but must have Islamic characteristics to give birth to a younger generation of Muslims who have a positive perspective and behavior. against Islamic modernization. The views of Muslim scholars essentially offer changes to the curriculum with noble goals, it just depends on the policy of the educational institution whether to accept it or not.

The purpose of this study was to determine the AQ correlation between teacher professionalism and student autonomous learning at &quot;Madrasah Aliyah,&quot; South Banawa District, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research design used a quantitative approach. The number of research samples was of 36 students and 19 teachers with a simple random sampling technique. The main data collection was performed by means of a questionnaire. Product moment correlation was employed in data analysis, by checking the normality and timeliness of the data. The first finding revealed no relationships (r= 0.073) between AQ and teacher professionalism. While the second finding showed a relationship (r= 0.961) between the AQ between teacher professionalism and student autonomous learning. This finding can likely provide evidence as references for educational institutions, particularly for those at the &quot;Madrasah Aliyah&quot; level, educators, and the government to increase the AQ between teacher professionalism and student autonomous learning so that it can enhance student achievement and enable supports for national developments in the future. It is essential to provide positive supports given the low professionalism of teachers in remote areas, albeit the potential for student's autonomous learning also deserves deliberation as a form of social justice for all Indonesian people.

This study aims to determine the impact of the traditional practice of &quot;sesan&quot; on the indigenous people of Lampung &quot;Pepadun&quot; Negara Aji Baru Lampung, which is intended to inculcate social values in &quot;sharia&quot; or Islamic law. A qualitative research design was used to guide the research. The main data sources came from interviews conducted with &quot;Penyimbang Adat&quot; (&quot;Penyimbang&quot; custom), religious leaders, and the indigenous people of Lampung &quot;Pepadun&quot; Bumi Aji. The research findings reveal that the traditional practice of &quot;sesan&quot; is a form of local wisdom of the indigenous people of Lampung &quot;Pepadun,&quot; which must be implemented in the marriage contract. Social values in &quot;sharia&quot; provide an understanding of the position of &quot;sesan&quot; property in marriage seen from the wisdom and benefits it obtains. &quot;Sesan&quot; treasure aims to glorify a wife like a queen in a household who needs various household facilities. This is intended to reduce the fear of getting married because they do not have the facilities for their household needs. &quot;Sesan&quot; property is not allowed if in practice it conflicts with social values in the Lampung &quot;Pepadun&quot; custom which places the male party as an object imposed by self-interest, not based on mutual help. The novelty of this study states that the theoretical concepts used have succeeded in finding the understanding gaps that occur in the indigenous people of Lampung &quot;Pepadun.&quot; The findings also reveal that the inculcation of social values is through mutual cooperation between relatives or because of the services provided by relatives in customary community marriages. It should be understood that the &quot;sesan&quot; custom in marriage is intended to be the basic capital in fostering a household. The traditional practice of &quot;sesan&quot; which raises property issues in indigenous peoples is expected to contribute to the cultivation of Islamic law and social values and local wisdom and become a source of knowledge as a form of self-actualization and alternative moral education.

This research aimed to present reasons and solutions that soon-to-graduate preservice social studies teachers expressed in relation to middle school students' low level of historical literacy as reported in the literature. To this end, we used a basic qualitative research design. The sample consisted of 30 soon-to-graduate preservice teachers (17 women and 13 men) who were studying social studies teaching at the faculty of education of a state university in the 2019-2020 academic year and already served their teaching internship. The data were collected using the semi-structured &quot;Interview form&quot; developed by Keçe (2013). The data were analysed using descriptive analysis. According to the analysis results, the preservice social studies teachers stated that middle school students' low level of historical literacy was generally due to the methods and techniques used by teachers in teaching historical topics, students' lack of interest in historical topics, and the lack of parental encouragement. The preservice teachers also highlighted that students should be encouraged to use social media tools properly and the content of historical series, films, documentaries, and television shows should be adjusted to students.

People's attitudes and anxiety towards impromptu speaking can negatively affect their performance and can create speaking anxiety in them. The aim of this study is to find out whether there is a significant relationship between the acquisition of storytelling skills and the impromptu speaking attitudes and speaking anxieties of 6th grade students. The nested pattern of the mixed method was used in the research. In the quantitative part of the research, a one-group, pretest-posttest experimental model was employed. The quantitative data were collected by the 'Speaking Skill Attitude Scale'. Paired samples t-test was used to determine whether the storytelling training given to the students had an effect on their speaking attitudes, and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test was used to determine whether it had an effect on their speaking anxiety. Qualitative data were also collected with student interview form and observation form. As the result of the research showed, the acquisition of storytelling was significantly associated with students' impromptu speaking attitudes and anxiety levels. Therefore, it is important to provide students with the acquisition of storytelling to influence their attitudes and anxieties when delivering impromptu speeches.

This study provides a much-needed socio-political perspective on language teaching in Turkey and identifies key influences and orthodoxies past and present and their impact on current practices of language learning. The researchers provide a refreshing critique of successive cycles of policies and how they have variously sought to secure starting with imperial, nationalist, and contemporary populist ambitions of language teaching in the classroom and beyond. Almost 150 years of such efforts have frequently shoehorned teaching practices with inevitable consequences for language acquisition from primary education to university. Along with the contemporary educational changes before and after the foundation of the Turkish Republic, the researchers aim to shed light on the chronological records of language teacher education by drawing parallelism between general teacher education and language teacher education in Turkey. The paper concludes with suggestions for improving our understanding of present-day challenges in a field that remains fundamental to the future of the country.

This study was conducted to determine the writing skills of bilingual students whose mother tongue is Kurdish and monoligual students whose mother tongue is Turkish in the fifth grade of secondary school. More specifically, the story and essay writing skills of bilingual students are compared with the writing skills of monolingual students based on their reading habits and their parents' educational backgrounds. The research is a descriptive study based on scanning model and aims to reveal the current situation as it is. The study group of the research consists of a total of 104 fifth grade secondary school students, 52 bilingual and 52 monolingual, studying in 4 different secondary schools in the central district of Ipekyolu in Van, Turkey. In order to determine students' writing skills, stories and essays were written to them at different times in one lesson hour (average forty minutes). The stories were evaluated according to the Story Writing Evaluation Form (Izdes, 2011). The essays were evaluated according to the Written Expression Rating Scale (Deniz, 2003). According to the results of Mann Whitney-U and Kruskal-Wallis-H tests, monolingual students outperformed bilingual students in both story and essay writing. While a significant difference was found between bilingual and monolingual students' essay and story writing skills, no significant difference was found in terms of parents› education status or the number of books their parents read. The findings have interesting implications for the researchers and teachers in the area.

Language policies of countries have focused especially on the teaching and learning of English, the universal language of communication because of the increase in international exchange of information. In this context, one of the changes which were made in the field of foreign language teaching in recent years in Turkey is that the intensive foreign language education, put into practice in the 2017-2018 academic years, is implemented in the 5th grades of the determined pilot schools. The aim of the study is to evaluate the intensive English language teaching program for the 5th grade (IELTP) according to the teachers' views. The research is conducted in the phenomenological pattern, one of the qualitative research methods. In the 2018-2019 academic years, the data were collected by interviewing 26 volunteer English teachers from seven different districts of Istanbul. Descriptive and content analysis methods were used to analyse the data. As a result, most of the teachers generally have expressed positive opinions about the intensive English language course for the 5th grade and its curriculum. The instructional activities, methods, and techniques; tools and materials; measurement tools, methods and activities used by the teachers in their lessons are in line with the ones suggested in the curriculum. However, some teachers have indicated that they face with some problems such as being the subjects in the curriculum intense, above the students' level, and focusing on the grammar; abundance of the number of objectives; the lack of materials.
