Background/Context Photos are a powerful tool for eliciting stories that may otherwise go untold in traditional interview formats. Photo-elicitation type methods vary widely in their ontological, epistemological, and teleological orientations, providing different tools for understanding participants’ experiences and interpretations of those experiences. Photo-cued interviewing (PCI) is an emerging approach that adds to the photo-elicitation method milieu, with a specific strength for understanding varied facets of learning. In this paper, I explore how PCI diverges from existing photo-elicitation type methods and how it can be a useful tool for educational researchers interested in understanding more about student learning, particularly in spaces like study abroad. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study Using a case study approach, this manuscript illuminates how PCI can help elicit and (co)develop stories of learning— specifically, narratives that illustrate the learning that resulted from students’ experiences in study abroad programs. Research Design This study draws from interviews and focus groups with 62 secondary and postsecondary students who participated in a variety of study abroad programs. I perform an inductive qualitative analysis to understand how the PCI method helped to (co)develop stories that illustrated what and how students learned during their study abroad programs. Findings/Results PCI helped to (co)develop stories of learning in a number of ways, including: 1) facilitating students’ initial reflections, 2) revealing impact beyond the experience, 3) merging stories of learning to create new narratives and understandings, 4) adding nuance to preliminary stories, and 5) allowing for more focused storytelling. Conclusions/Recommendations I offer PCI as a photo-elicitation method useful for prompting student reflection and learning, understanding how meaning is made from experiences, and reflexively participating in the interview process as a researcher. I also call for greater use of the PCI method in educational research in order to explicate its uses and boundaries.

This paper discuss about the reclamation of Jakarta Bay from the perspective of ekofeminisme. The reason the writerchooses this issue, because of the need to emphasize the environmental aspect paired with ekofeminisme in development policy programs that have been done especially the development done over the ocean. The issues to be raised in this research question about how the policy of Jakarta Bay reclamation is viewed from the perspective of ekofeminisme as well as to know what factors push and obstruct Jakarta Bay reclamation policy. The research method used in this research is qualitative research method with case study approach. In order to obtain data in this study, researchers will use primary and secondary data sources. The results of this study indicate that the development of Jakarta Bay reclamation has not been in accordance with the perspective of ekofeminisme. This is because the reclamation of Jakarta Bay is still concentrated on economic matters only, and has not yet realized sustainable development. Thus, stakeholders are expected to apply an ecofeminism perspective to the Jakarta Bay reclamation development policy to avoid a global ecological crisis and environmental degradation. Feminism replied that the energy of femininity and not masculinity, has the potential to preserve the environment.

The imposition of collateral in muḍārabah financing contracts is a separate issue for Islamic banks even though in principle Islamic banks are not required to ask for collateral, but in practice, collateral is one of the elements that must be met by business actors in muḍārabah financing contracts. When the collateral is not applied, problems often arise in the case of debtor default. The problem in this study is whether the imposition of collateral can be used as an effort to resolve debtor disputes in muḍārabah financing contracts. To answer the research question, the method used is a normative juridical research method where the law is not only seen as law in books but also the law in action with the statutory approach and case study approach, namely the decision of the Mahkamah Agung. The results of the study presented that binding guarantees in muḍārabah financing contracts can be used as anticipation to minimize the risk of loss based on article 39 of Law no. 21 of 2008 concerning Islamic Banking. When the business actor defaults, neglects, and breaches the contract in muḍārabah financing, the guarantee can be used as an effort to mitigate the settlement of muḍārabah financing disputes to pay off obligations to Islamic banks.

Purpose This paper aims to deal with the processes and experiences of teaching English as an additional language (AL). More specifically, it deals with the research question of which teaching methods are used when teaching English as AL and why. Design/methodology/approach It concerns a case study approach conducted in an English primary school situated in North Yorkshire, where bilingual pupils also participate. The research methods used include observations in the classroom and in the playground, interviews with the teachers and the bilingual pupils of the school, as well as analysis of policy school documentation related to the topic examined. Findings The picture revealed by this study suggests that a number of different approaches and teaching methods, which contribute to teaching English as an AL, are used. The results indicate that great importance is attributed to teacher-pupil and pupil-pupil interaction, as well as to the employment of specific teaching techniques such as key visuals, corrective feedback. In addition, certain types of questions are addressed to bilingual pupils depending on their current language proficiency level. Teachers seem to emphasise the significance of activating the prior knowledge of non-native speakers (NNS). Progression in the content of the activities set, motivation and differentiation are seen as important. The implementation of the aforementioned approaches and teaching methods are supported by the policy and organisation of the school, where the research study was conducted. Originality/value As stated in the National Curriculum and within the framework of inclusion, all pupils for whom English is not their first language have to be provided with opportunities to develop the English language, the acquisition of which will help them to have access and take part in all subject areas. The present study explores what certain teaching approaches and methods can provide NNS with equal opportunities to develop English as an AL and why.

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the implementation of gijzeling. This study also analyzes whether there are differences in impacts before and after the implementation of gijzeling on taxpayer compliance who is subject to gijzeling action, and analyzes whether the implementation of gijzeling provides deterrent effect for taxpayers subject to gijzeling action and other taxpayers in terms of taxpayer compliance and disbursement of tax arrears in Regional Office of DGT Central Java I. The data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative research method with a case study approach to answering the research question. The result of the research concludes that the implementation of gijzeling has been run in accordance with the provisions of the law, although in the field process, there are some adaptations and development, but still based on the procedures and rules. The implementation of gijzeling also made 100% liquid tax arrears for taxpayers subject to gijzeling action, while the application of gijzeling also proved to create a deterrent effect for other taxpayers who are in 1 group of companies that have tax arrears. The implementation of gijzeling in 2016 has not had any impact on tax arrears through other active collection.

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration—or potential emigration—offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S.-based researcher.  International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.

As destination of choice for many short-term study abroad programs, Berlin offers students of German language, culture and history a number of sites richly layered with significance. The complexities of these sites and the competing narratives that surround them are difficult for students to grasp in a condensed period of time. Using approaches from the spatial humanities, this article offers a case study for enhancing student learning through the creation of digital maps and itineraries in a campus-based course for subsequent use during a three-week program in Berlin. In particular, the concept of deep mapping is discussed as a means of augmenting understanding of the city and its history from a narrative across time to a narrative across the physical space of the city. As itineraries, these course-based projects were replicated on site. In moving from the digital environment to the urban landscape, this article concludes by noting meanings uncovered and narratives formed as we moved through the physical space of the city.
