Students evaluated the asynchronous online learning environment in terms of interaction, feedback, academic and technical support, active learning and assessment. The study, which was carried out with a qualitative research approach, was conducted with 28 students studying in faculty of education. During the pandemic, students continued all their courses for 9 weeks with asynchronous distance education. At the end of the semester, the interview form was sent to the students via e-mail. At the end of the study, it can be said that in the process of asynchronous online learning, students experience a lack of face-to-face interaction even if they do not have communication problems with the instructor. Students were able to get support when they needed it. However, they had problems getting instant feedback. It was seen that students had the opportunity to learn flexibly without time and space, to learn independently by doing unlimited repetitions at their own pace and to plan their own learning process. However, it was revealed that they could not do group work with their friends and felt socially isolated. Students objected to the evaluation of their class performances with assignment. Students suggested that live broadcasting activities take place at regular intervals, opening the comments section under the videos, conducting discussion board activities, establishing fast support systems, using alternative evaluation methods such as online testing and online presentations during the asynchronous online learning process.","PeriodicalId":36407,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47530472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here children's drawings were benefited as a primary source of information and a diagnostic method in which secondary information (open-ended questions) were directed. The data were analyzed by descriptive qualitative analysis method based on the research questions. In this study, it was seen that religious indicators, signs, and symbols (religious-social images) emerged effectively through the drawing method. Theological semiotic may be used as a diagnostics method in more studies in determining the development of religious concepts in children. The number of religious differences in the drawings increased with age. It was understood that 9-14-year-old children could make religious categorization in interviews about drawings and responses concerning open-ended questions. In-group favoritism and in-group friendship preferences increased with age. At the same time, as age increased, moral reasoning in choosing friendship increased.","PeriodicalId":36407,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44192875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, a qualitative paradigm, namely a narrative approach to data collection, was employed as a methodological framework, and the data collection methods were face-to-face interviews and social media. The participants were six Asian students from different Asian countries. After collecting their narratives and transcribing them, I categorized them into three phases: Expectations & Gaps, Outcomes, and Vision for the future. The findings reveal that all participants felt admiration and respect for Japanese perseverance and politeness, as well as Japan’s advanced technology in their imaginary world before they came to Japan. However, after living in Japan, this view changed to a negative one, leaving them disappointed by Japanese narrow-mindedness and both invisible and visible discrimination against them. These negative experiences gradually created their subjectivity as they have found themselves trying to conform to Japanese social power and norms and acting like the Japanese while in Japan. However, their hearts were no longer in Japan. These findings imply that Japanese students’ intercultural understanding is dominated by the cultures of the English-speaking world, while their understanding of other cultures except for those of that world is scant. The paper concludes by suggesting a cosmopolitan pedagogy for intercultural understanding and communication so that Japanese students can become true global citizens.","PeriodicalId":36407,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48013316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
