Based on the teaching work analysis approach and the concept of managing the unexpected, the article aims to explore the real work executed by teachers by virtue of classroom factors, and to search the reasons behind the actions they take in their classes. Drawing on qualitative interpretive methodology, data were collected through class observation, audio recording, and interviews with two teachers and their three immigrant students from two different highly diverse primary schools in Quebec. Findings show that teachers opt for collective, small group and individual support to cover their students’ needs when they anticipate or discover students’ difficulties. More specifically, the analysis of teachers' reasons shows that implementing and processing of individual teaching support practices are influenced by the perceptions and the decisions that teachers must make momentarily when they encounter a student difficulty. Teachers' decisions result from an inner negotiation process. They have to choose quickly between implementing supporting practices and maintaining their on-going prescribed tasks. More particularly, the teachers adopt four scenarios to manage the unexpected in their classes: 1integrating the unexpected into the teaching activity, 2considering the unexpected as a disruptive element, 3exploiting the unexpected for the benefit of the class, 4transferring the responsibility to the student.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43703386","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}

It is significantly important for educational authorities to know the competence level of ESTs regarding communication skills and skills to use information communication technologies. Cross-sectional survey method of descriptive research was used to collect data. Population was consisted of all the ESTs (398 female and 355 male=753) working in public sector elementary schools of district, Lahore. 80 female and 71 male ESTs were selected by using proportionate cluster stratified random sampling technique of probability sampling. Researchers developed observational rating scale which was comprised of three sub-scales (i.e. Knowledge & understanding, dispositions, and performance & skills). Percentage, mean score, standard deviation and t-test was applied. Results indicate that most of the ESTs have moderate competence level in ECPUICT. Furthermore, there was insignificance difference female and male teachers’ competence level in two subscales (knowledge and understanding, and performance & skills) while statistically significant difference was exist in female and male ESTs’ dispositions. Overall, results showed that there was insignificant difference between female and male ESTs competence level in ECPUICT. It is recommended that Government should take steps to improve teacher communication skills as well as skills to use Information Communication Technologies by preservice and in-service training programs.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45616182","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}

This study used the “participant as ally-essentialist approach” [1] to understand the participants’ stories. The primary data source was focus groups and one to three one-on-one follow-up interviews with nine participants who were second-year nontraditional elementary or middle school teachers. Each participant entered the profession by the same program, and all of the participants came from the same site. Their ages ranged between 22 and 45 years. The researcher [2] developed eight portraits of participants who talked about their career progression. These portraits yielded three major findings. First, the participants revealed their commitment to teaching, generally planning to stay in the career until they retired. Another major aspect in the portraits was that many of the participants used their earlier life experience and maturity in their classrooms. The last major finding revealed that a significant proportion of teachers found the profession by accident. The results of this study suggest that, with increasing numbers of nontraditional students, teacher education programs need to take into account the assignments, delivery methods, and class content. When placing teachers in schools for internships and student teaching, the coordinator should be aware of their status. In addition, school districts should be aware that this population is committed to adding value to the school as soon as they arrive.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43690928","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}

This ability can help to successfully adapt in the learning environment. [1] Byram, Nicols and Stevens (2001) argue that the acquisition of intercultural competence depends on the cultural environment, where cultural experience happens. There is an inevitable continuing dialogue in the process of intercultural learning, which encourages people to refuse stereotypes or assumptions about other cultures. It is important to note that the cultural environment can promote intercultural learning and interfere with it. Therefore, the main problem of this research is related to higher education studies and the aim of the research is to find out how the learning process takes place in an intercultural learning environment. All of this presupposes the main research questions: What types of learning emerge? What are the factors that promote or hinder learning in a non-traditional learning environment where only a national language is used? Such a problem as the lack of language skills forms a new learning process. The purpose of this study is to identify factors of intercultural learning in the empirical context.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41917274","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}

The information to be discussed was received from classroom observation and narratives of eight Tamang students of two secondary schools of Nuwakot, Nepal. It was found that they experience dominance linguistically, culturally and socioeconomically. The linguistic environment in context of classroom and society, nation’s language policy and global linguistic environment have sustained supremacy. This dominance is reflected through different sorts of behaviors and verbal and nonverbal means of communication that take place in the classroom as it does in the society they live. The participants’ stories expose the need of dominant languages and how the languages along with their culture affect their participation in English language classroom activities. Besides, it depicts how linguistic, cultural and socio-economic environment, language policy and global influences discourage the students from minority communities to participate actively in the traditional classrooms. In order to mitigate the students’ uncomfortable feeling, teachers’ role to handle multilingual students, appropriate language learning environment and child friendly classroom activities are a must.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43619615","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}

Universities around the world have embarked on individual journeys in internationalizing the curriculum (IoC) and Internationalization at Home (IaH). With the support of technology, international and intercultural learning is possible for all students. Online projects create opportunities for innovative ways to foster intercultural competence, interdisciplinary and transformative learning, without the constrictions of space or time. At the culmination of the German Rector’s Conference in Germany, the University of Goettingen received funding to initiate its first pilot projects of IoC through digitally supported teaching and learning projects. This paper describes a qualitative case study conducted in the fourth year of the pilot projects. It will examine the perceived value that IoC has added in regard to the unique program of study, the curriculum, and individual learning for faculty and students. For the purpose of this research, individual interviews with faculty and students were transcribed and analyzed using a phenomenographic approach. The results of the case study could be significant for reforming institutional teaching and learning policies, sustainability proposals, and as a beacon for other institutions.","PeriodicalId":90007,"journal":{"name":"Literacy information and computer education journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48845121","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}
