Abstract

Background. Inclusive education in Finland has long been recognized as a global model for equity and student-centered practices. However, less is known about the lived experiences of teachers, students, and families within these systems. Purpose. This study aims to explore the dynamics of inclusion in Finnish primary schools through narrative inquiry, focusing on story-based reflections that illuminate the practical realities of special education implementation. Method. Using a qualitative approach, we conducted in-depth interviews and collected reflective journals from 12 educators and 5 special education coordinators across three municipalities in Finland. The narratives were analyzed thematically to uncover both enabling conditions and challenges in daily inclusive practices. Results. Findings reveal a strong commitment to inclusion supported by multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), yet tensions remain in workload management, inter-professional collaboration, and cultural diversity responsiveness. Participants’ stories underscore the importance of empathy, flexibility, and sustained professional development in cultivating inclusive classrooms. Conclusion. This study contributes to the broader discourse on inclusive education by emphasizing the role of personal and professional storytelling as a medium for reflective practice and policy insight. The research highlights the significance of listening to practitioners’ voices in shaping meaningful, context-sensitive inclusive education strategies.

Abstract

Background. Professional ethics is a critical yet often underexplored dimension in teacher education, particularly in contexts where cultural, institutional, and systemic challenges intersect. In India, where educators regularly face value conflicts in classrooms—ranging from caste discrimination to gender norms and curriculum constraints—there is a growing need to address how ethical dilemmas are experienced and navigated by pre-service teachers. Purpose. This study explores ethical decision-making in teacher education through a narrative inquiry approach, focusing on the lived experiences of student-teachers across four Indian teacher training institutes. Method. A total of 28 participants engaged in reflective journaling and semi-structured interviews, recounting ethical tensions encountered during practicum or coursework. Thematic narrative analysis revealed recurring dilemmas related to authority, bias, institutional silence, and cultural contradiction. Results. Participants often expressed uncertainty, emotional distress, and conflict between personal values and institutional expectations. However, the process of narrating these experiences also served as a reflective tool, enabling critical ethical reasoning and professional growth. Conclusion. The study concludes that narrative reflection can be a transformative pedagogical strategy in teacher education, fostering ethical sensitivity and professional identity development in complex educational environments.

Abstract

Background. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has disrupted the educational landscape, displacing students, teachers, and families while threatening the continuity of learning across the country. Amidst the instability of war, Ukrainian schools have demonstrated remarkable resilience, adapting pedagogical approaches and redefining the meaning of education under crisis. Purpose. This study explores how educators and students experience and respond to displacement, loss, and continuity in war-affected regions of Ukraine. Using a qualitative narrative methodology. Method. the research draws on in-depth interviews with 18 teachers and 12 students from internally displaced and frontline communities. Participants shared stories of interrupted schooling, digital adaptation, emotional trauma, and communal support. Results. The findings reveal that while infrastructural damage and psychological stress hinder formal instruction, educators and learners have found ways to preserve educational values through flexible delivery methods, psychosocial initiatives, and community-driven learning spaces. Schools emerged not only as academic institutions but as emotional anchors and symbols of national identity. Conclusion. The study highlights the importance of narrative as a tool for documenting lived experiences and advocating for education continuity in conflict zones.

Abstract

Background. Despite Japan’s global reputation for technological innovation, female representation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields remains disproportionately low. Cultural expectations, gender norms, and limited role models contribute to the underrepresentation of young women in STEM pathways. Purpose. This study explores how digital storytelling can serve as a transformative pedagogical tool to support the development of STEM identity among female high school students in Japan. Method. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, the study engaged 15 female students aged 16–18 from three urban high schools. Participants created and reflected on personal digital stories that connected their lived experiences with STEM-related aspirations, interests, or challenges. Results. Data were collected through digital artifacts, in-depth interviews, and reflective journals, then analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that digital storytelling enabled participants to articulate their evolving sense of agency, challenge internalized gender stereotypes, and envision themselves in future STEM careers.  The process fostered increased confidence, self-recognition as potential STEM contributors, and a sense of belonging in scientific discourse. Conclusion. This study demonstrates the potential of narrative-based, multimodal learning tools in reshaping STEM identity formation for underrepresented groups. It contributes to feminist pedagogy and STEM education research through the intersection of narrative, identity, and digital media.

Abstract

Background. Teachers in remote Canadian regions have historically faced challenges related to geographic isolation, limited access to professional development, and infrastructural disparities. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the demand for digital pedagogies, forcing educators in these contexts to rapidly adopt unfamiliar technologies and reconfigure their instructional practices. Purpose. This study investigates how teachers in remote areas navigated this transition through a narrative self-study lens. Method. Using qualitative methodology, five educators from rural provinces in Northern Canada engaged in self-reflective journaling and peer dialogue over a nine-month period. Thematic analysis of the narratives revealed key tensions between professional isolation and digital empowerment, as well as shifts in teacher identity, agency, and pedagogical innovation. Results. Participants described initial resistance, technological uncertainty, and emotional fatigue, which gradually evolved into adaptive strategies, collaborative learning, and renewed professional purpose. The findings highlight how digital transformation, though initially disruptive, served as a catalyst for reflective growth and community-building in marginalized teaching environments. Conclusion. The study concludes that narrative self-study can be a powerful tool for supporting teacher resilience, agency, and innovation, especially in geographically and technologically constrained settings.

Abstract

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly disrupted global education systems, forcing teachers to adapt to remote instruction, shifting expectations, and heightened emotional demands. Urban educators, in particular, faced layered challenges including technological inequity, socio-emotional strain, and intensified community needs. Purpose. This study explores how urban teachers experienced and responded to the crisis by analyzing their personal narratives of teaching during the pandemic. Method. Using a qualitative narrative analysis approach, the study collected data from 26 K–12 educators in three major metropolitan districts in the United States. Participants submitted reflective essays and engaged in semi-structured interviews between June and October 2021. Results. The findings reveal recurring themes of professional identity redefinition, emotional exhaustion, pedagogical innovation, and relational resilience. Teachers described a tension between systemic inadequacies and personal commitment, often framing their roles as both educators and emotional caregivers. Despite institutional constraints, many developed adaptive strategies that centered student well-being and equity. Conclusion. The study concludes that narrative inquiry provides essential insight into the lived complexities of teaching during crisis and underscores the need for systemic support structures that honor teachers’ emotional labor and professional agency.

Abstract

Background. Efforts to meaningfully integrate Aboriginal perspectives into Australian school curricula remain uneven and contested, often constrained by systemic limitations and a lack of culturally informed pedagogical frameworks. Aboriginal narratives, particularly those tied to Country, embody holistic systems of knowledge that challenge Western linear constructions of curriculum and offer alternative modes of understanding land, identity, and education. Purpose. This study explores how Aboriginal educational narratives are interpreted and integrated into curriculum practice by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators across diverse Australian school settings. Method. Employing a qualitative, multi-site case study approach, the research involved interviews with 22 educators and curriculum leaders, alongside analysis of classroom materials and reflective teaching journals. Results. The findings reveal that successful integration depends on deep, relational engagement with community knowledge holders, an ethic of cultural humility, and a willingness to reconfigure disciplinary boundaries. Educators who engaged in collaborative curriculum-making reported greater confidence in embedding Indigenous perspectives in ways that respect narrative sovereignty and pedagogical integrity. Conclusion. The study concludes that Aboriginal storytelling offers not only content but a method—transforming curriculum into a site of shared responsibility, ethical dialogue, and place-based learning.

Abstract

Background. The effectiveness of oral corrective feedback (OCF) in language learning is influenced by learners’ comprehension and response to various OCF techniques. Therefore, it is essential for teachers to consider learners’ preferences for OCF strategies. Purpose. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the preferences of Thai as a foreign language (TFL) learner for ten commonly discussed types of OCF. Specifically, it examined whether these preferences are influenced by four learner variables: proficiency level, first language (L1), foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA), and foreign language enjoyment (FLE). Method. The study involved 288 university students from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean TFL settings, and the data from questionnaires were analysed using appropriate statistical methods. Results. The findings indicate that, regardless of proficiency level, L1, FLCA, or FLE level, learners prefer more explicit OCF techniques, such as metalinguistics feedback and explicit correction. However, Korean undergraduates scored lower in the majority of OCF strategies (i.e., ignoring, elicitation, recast, explanation, and public feedback) compared to the other participants. Conclusion. This study has significant implications for instructional practices in TFL settings and for L2 lecturers in the classroom. By understanding learners’ preferences for OCF, educators can tailor their instructional approaches to meet the specific needs of their students.

Abstract

Background. Turkey hosts one of the world’s largest populations of refugee children, yet multicultural education within Turkish public schools remains underdeveloped and inconsistently implemented. Refugee students often navigate classrooms marked by linguistic barriers, cultural misrecognition, and limited curricular representation. Purpose. This study explores how refugee students’ personal narratives can inform and enrich multicultural education practices in Turkish classrooms. Drawing on a qualitative narrative research design, the study engaged 18 refugee students from Syrian, Afghan, and Iraqi backgrounds across five urban public schools. Method. Data were collected through narrative interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed thematically to uncover how students perceive their identities, educational experiences, and interactions with peers and teachers. Results. Findings reveal that refugee students’ stories reflect both resilience and marginalization, highlighting gaps in teacher preparedness, inclusive pedagogy, and culturally responsive curriculum. At the same time, narratives uncovered opportunities for empathy, cross-cultural dialogue, and identity affirmation when student voices were acknowledged in meaningful ways.   Conclusion. The study concludes that integrating refugee narratives into classroom discourse can serve as a transformative tool for multicultural education, fostering more inclusive and humanizing pedagogical environments.

Abstract

Background. Curriculum management in political training (DIKLAT) plays a crucial role in sustaining ideological orientation and leadership regeneration within political parties. In the context of Islamic political parties in Indonesia, particularly Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS), the curriculum must align with the mandates of the Party Law and Government Regulations to ensure consistent cadre development. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the PKS political training curriculum. It further seeks to understand the implications of such a structured and tiered curriculum on cadre competency, ideological resilience, and leadership preparedness. Method. A qualitative descriptive method was employed by analyzing official documents and conducting interviews with key organizational stakeholders responsible for political education within PKS. Data were interpreted through thematic content analysis. Results. The findings show that PKS employs a structured curriculum through three main programs: coaching, training, and education. The implementation is conducted in stages—weekly and monthly—while evaluation follows a continuous monitoring and feedback model. This systematic approach supports the quality and sustainability of member development. Conclusion. The structured and evaluative nature of the PKS curriculum reflects a strategic effort to maintain ideological integrity and leadership quality. Future improvements are suggested through optimizing coaching techniques, reinforcing practical training modules, adopting merit-based progression systems, and strengthening internal feedback mechanisms.
