Abstract

This paper aims to show the characteristics of free software and its implications for qualitative analysis in social research, especially in the case of new researchers and researchers with limited financial resources, as happens in third-world countries. First, the elements of qualitative research are described and understood as an approach linked to the interpretation and meanings that are given to the world. Secondly, the functions and handling of the RQDA software are explained. The main feature of RQDA is the fact that it is a free and open-source cross-platform tool, which allows project administration for data management purposes. The results show that even with the limitations that this type of tool may have, they offer a series of advantages that make their use possible and desirable to develop quality social research. Regarding the conclusions section, a reflection is offered on the use of technology based on free software for social research purposes, which must consider the pros and cons during its implementation. Concepts such as that of open access, or free culture, incorporate various forms of attending to historical problems suffered by science and education.

Abstract

Knowledge translation (KT), the dissemination of research outputs towards utilization and application, is increasingly recognized in research. For marginalized populations, benefiting from research outputs can be hindered by longstanding, inequitable access to information and education. The objective of this pilot study is to assess the potential of using creative works in the digital humanities - such as films, series, animations, games, and graphic novels - as knowledge translation tools for engagement, inclusivity, and equitable access to research-based knowledge. Methods followed a multi-phase process. First, an exploratory literature review was conducted on the intersection between three pillars: digital humanities, marginalized populations, and knowledge translation (Web of Science and Scopus), with 21 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Operational definitions and project framework (CATER) were drawn from the gap analysis, followed by a first round of pilot interviews with individuals with qualitative research experience. The first pilot interviews were conducted to identify any conceptualization errors and address methodological concerns. The second round of pilot interviews was conducted with marginalized individuals. Research findings show that marginalized populations access digital humanities for self-motivated learning. The implications of this research suggest digital humanities can serve as KT tools to supplement existing modes of KT, and that further participatory research will help uncover complex relationships between digital humanities and living with marginalization.

Abstract

This research aims to understand why after establishing educational programs intended for youth at-risk of being homeless in inner-city urban contexts, youth still turn to homelessness in North America. This article describes a composite case study of three cities in North America to ensure the anonymity of all stakeholders, key informants, and practitioners providing qualitative data. The results show that the internal management of education programs-specifically, youth's potential behavior in three categories: violence, substance use, and intimate relationships are challenges that prevent organizations from successfully retaining youth engagement in education. More importantly, capitalism related to the street-trades is discussed as the key cause of persistent youth homelessness. Protecting youth from homelessness and ensuring access to compulsory public education must seek to identify mechanisms through which homeless youth can be exploited for profit. Addressing hidden structures of capitalism within homelessness in North America supports the prevention of chronic homelessness and disempowered life trajectories.

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal gender-related deficiencies by examining nurses' experiences with gender and to guide these deficiencies in further studies. The study used the transcendental model of phenomenology design from the qualitative research method. The present study prefers the criterion sampling included in the purposeful sampling The study group consisted of five female and five male nurses who worked in a state hospital and had gender experiences.  The meetings were recorded and carried out face-to-face with the consent of the participants. According to the research results, a theme named gender was determined. Under this theme, 10 categories and two subcategories were identified. The current study concluded that the gender perceptions of nurses were positive, but they exhibited a traditional approach to the roles given to women and men. They did not receive sufficient education on social gender skills. The authors suggested that gender education should be added to the Women's Health and Diseases Nursing course contents.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the role of human resource management in the change processes of state-owned enterprises and its effectiveness in the management of organizational change. This paper is a study of the role of human resource professionals in the internal change processes of state-owned enterprises.  Qualitative research was used, and semi-structured interviews were administered to obtain data from human resource practitioners and departmental supervisors in a South African state-owned enterprise. Human Resource professionals are the custodian of change and employee champions in organizations. Their input in change processes is vital in maintaining employee levels of commitment to the organization. Human Resource Management's role in organizational change involves employee counseling, motivation, communication, and designing exit packages. If these roles are not properly executed, the organization may experience difficulties such as employee stress, low morale, and high labor turnover to mention just a few. The study revealed that lack of business partner roles, fear and control by the executives, and lack of communication from the top management are the challenges facing human resource professionals during internal change processes. The study provides insights for top management in state-owned enterprises on the role of human resource management in organizational change processes. The discussion provided in this paper would strengthen the body of knowledge on the role of Human Resource Management in the management of change particularly in state-owned enterprises.

Abstract

The study explored strategies that could be used to strengthen the integrated inter-sectoral collaboration among Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) providers in the Northern Cape province, South Africa. It is evidenced in the literature that early childhood education centers operate without maximum inter-sectoral collaboration. There is a need therefore for intersectoral collaboration among early childhood providers to ensure a smooth running of the program for children’s development. Semi-structured interviews with a sample of 12 seasoned ECCE providers from the public and private sectors were used to gather the data. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, and themes were formed. The findings of the study among others indicate that a detailed provincial integrated Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) strategy is developed to ensure a properly resourced, coordinated, and managed Early childhood development (ECD) system that forms part of the national ECCE strategy. The study also found that the establishment of a financing model as a strategy can assist to strengthen the integrated inter-sectoral collaboration among ECCE providers.

Abstract

The Roman Catholic Church, just like other churches in the world, has seen an unprecedented influx of afflicted followers as fear of death looms around the globe with the spread of an unseeable enemy the Covid-19 pandemic. This study analyzed how the Church's supreme pontiff, Pope Francis, mirrors his intentions in his ten randomly selected homilies to project his powers and ideologies amid the pandemic. Grounded on the supposition of discourse that language reflects and shapes social order and individuals interact and react to the words of others to better themselves and the world, this study revealed that Pope Francis' intentions in delivering the pandemic homilies encompass asserting the theological teachings of the Church, directing the congregation to act, committing himself and his audience to respond as a community, and expressing a mixture of personal emotions, which were revealed through the scrutiny of illocutionary forces used to assert legitimate, expert, and referent powers and profess magisterial, covenantal, volitional, and revelational ideologies. Notably, it could be observed in the findings that there appears to be a unification of powers to mirror the overriding ideologies that emerge. Indeed, the findings imply that the pope's homilies serve multiple purposes, including asserting theological teachings, directing the congregation to act, fostering community response, and expressing personal emotions through illocutionary forces establishing a meaningful correspondence between preaching and communication.

Abstract

This research paper delves into the assessment and examination systems of primary and secondary education in Finland and Bhutan. It analyzes Finland's exceptional performance in PISA and its assessment practices, emphasizing formative assessment and project-based learning. In contrast, Bhutan relies more heavily on standardized exams. The study identifies major similarities and differences, strengths, and weaknesses in both countries' examination modes. It investigates how these variations impact student learning outcomes in each nation. Through a qualitative comparative analysis research design, the paper focuses on exploring the examination methods in Finland and Bhutan's education systems. Based on the findings, the research proposes practical strategies for enhancing Bhutan's examination system. It suggests integrating formative assessment, introducing a blended approach in secondary education, and promoting research-based projects to improve the overall examination methods in Bhutan. While the study may not directly influence policy, it provides valuable insights into Finland's successful practices, which can be adapted to benefit Bhutan's education system.

Abstract

Research on social media use in education has found evidence of positive outcomes. While the benefits of social media in formal education discourse are known, there is still limited knowledge about its use in non-formal education. This study explored the use of WhatsApp groups in non-formal education. The researcher designed a qualitative virtual ethnographic study based on a community of Ghanaian teachers who utilized WhatsApp to prepare for their promotion examination. The researcher immersed himself as a participant observer in this digital community for 16 months, observing web interface, visuals, text, threaded discussions, and participant interaction. Data generated were analyzed thematically with the aid of Taguette, a qualitative data analysis software. The outcome of the study was an affirmation of limitless possibilities existing in digital spaces to promote non-formal education. Based on this, a recommendation is made for a reexamination of curriculum and pedagogical constructs to forge new directions for teaching and learning.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to apply the World Café method to learn and provide options for problem-solving to people with disabilities students of the Faculty of Management Sciences at Dhonburi Rajabhat University. The researchers used the World Café method to collect data from 50 students and analyzed it using content analysis. The study found that the students exchanged knowledge about problems encountered in their daily lives, such as transportation problems, communication barriers, dependence on others, and issues faced by people with learning disabilities. Importantly, the students emphasized the problems related to employment opportunities for people with disabilities, as well as limited career advancement and financial insecurity. The options for problem-solving were opening coffee shops or restaurants that employ people with disabilities and establishing vocational schools that provide opportunities for people with disabilities to become entrepreneurs. These options are in line with the social innovation concept and can be used to alleviate or solve the problem of employment for people with disabilities in the future.
