Abstract:
This article gives an historical survey of the growth of music consultancy in primary education and follows on from the same author's Music Consultancy in Primary Education published in Vol. 5 No. 3 of BJME. It is postulated that the move towards the teaching of music by the generalist class teacher, supported by the consultant, has evolved gradually as a result of ideological factors, falling rolls and cuts in expenditure. The case studies represent contrasting accounts of music consultancy in operation in two primary schools. The more balanced music education was provided by the class teacher at School A, where the staff and head teacher appeared to be more committed to and more capable of including music in the curriculum.

Abstract:
As the basis of English learning, English vocabulary plays an important role in both teaching and learning. Therefore, the TPR approach proposed by James Escher is highly respected. By means of questionnaires and an interview, this paper studies the application of Total Physical Response in primary school English vocabulary teaching. It has been found that both students and teachers approve of the application of TPR in primary school English vocabulary teaching and then suggestions for children's English education have been proposed.

Abstract:
Although the General education programmes are aimed at developing children’s abilities to understand and communicate with the world of nature and to know the closest environment, the modern educational system devotes scant attention to environmental studies. Theoretically, everyone at school accepts the importance of research on environmental issues, however, practically only the teachers willing to discover something new are involved in such activities. Environmental education becomes more amateur. The believers in environmental research as the most efficient perception method do not have a feeling of disappointment. This is the exact media where social and ethical problems are successfully solved, socialization of children takes place, self-expression is encouraged, an attitude to protect nature is formed and abilities of scientific acquisition are developed. Mathematics is a valuable tool of environmental research in primary school. The author supposes that a right combination of mathematics and environmental studies can help with achieving positive results. Researching the immediate nature is the most efficient way to know it. The children acknowledge the environment through seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and sometimes tasting. Along environment acquisition, the valuable attitudes such as aesthetical perception and the moral culture are acquired. Environmental studies provides information necessary for successful teaching of natural sciences. The environment-centred activities assist the learners in gaining the initial skills at collecting and processing information. In the majority of cases, environmental studies cannot be imagined without mathematics, and therefore an accurate combination of mathematics and environmental education must be performed. In this case, a teacher experiences serious difficulties that can be overcome by the scientists fairly familiar with the methodologies of these subjects. The mother tongue, arts, physical education etc. encounter the same situation. The teachers and class mentors arrange plenty of nature trips, excursions and sightseeing tours. Nevertheless, due to lack of a clear policy and modern methodologies these activities are poorly coherent. Environmental studies are sponsored by private initiatives and thus not always are balanced and suffer from shortage of consistency, purposefulness and continuation. Key words: environmental studies, primary school, environment-centred activities.

Abstract:
Students of the study programme of Primary Education experience what it means to be a teacher as early as first years of their studies. Their practical pedagogical studies (30 credits) consist of a 3-part teaching practice: Practice of Teacher Assistant; Teaching Practice under Supervision of Mentor and Independent Teaching Practice. The article discusses Teaching Practice under Supervision of Mentor-1, which was completed by the students in Semester 5. During their teaching practice the students observe lessons delivered by teachers and analyse them, teach lessons themselves, participate in activities of non-formal educational activities, familiarise with the school and its traditions, learn about support to school learners provided by the specialists working in the school and help school learners facing learning difficulties. The article presents the case of Vilnius Pranas Mašiotas Primary School, where 5 third year students of the study programme of Primary Education had their teaching practice. The analysis of practice diaries allows to reveal how teachers to be evaluate an educational institution and people working there, what they think about their own competency, personal development, how they obtain practical experience and what challenges they face during their teaching practice. Key words: pedagogical studies, pedagogical internship, primary education.

Abstract:
Programming and coding are important skills and competencies in the 21st century. Due to this importance, robotics programming has been introduced in the Malaysian education system since 2013. Robotics is important in education because it could be used to cultivate various skills. Various studies have been conducted on robotics and its applications in education, and proponents of robotics believe that using robotics to teach programming could be impactful and effective in the Malaysian education context. On the other hand, many students think that programming is challenging. Consequently, some questions have arisen, such as the suitable programming language or platform to be used in Malaysian Primary School and the best instructional method. Studies have also examined the existing robotics modules used in the teaching and facilitation (T&F) process, in which it was found that the current curriculum is focused on introducing robotic programming. In this regard, there is a need to explore the current teaching design, pedagogy, and teachers’ practices. Therefore, this study is aimed to explore the teachers’ practice in teaching robotics programming as part of the Design and Technology (RBT) subject in Primary School. This study discusses teachers’ practices, the issues in robotics programming education, the importance of robotics to education, especially in primary schools, and the robotics kits and programming languages or platforms commonly used in schools. This study is a qualitative case study, and data were collected using in-depth interviews. The findings of this study have produced several key themes, namely: (a) RBT teacher practices (GRBT) in T&F, (b) Strategies in lesson planning, (c) Challenges and obstacles of T&F, (d) Use of technology, and (e) Teacher’s commitment. These are hoped to help educators, education administrators, and policymakers to understand the implications of robotics teaching in teaching programming.

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explain how public libraries have been instrumental in early child school literacy teaching and learning. Most African public schools do not usually afford enough core textbooks and supplementary readers.Design/methodology/approachThis was a qualitative case study in Western Kenya amongst public library staff members, public primary school teachers and parents of library children clients. The following questions were addressed: What is the book situation in public primary schools in the study site? What school-type literacy-related services are offered by the sampled public library? and What are library staff members’, teachers’ and parents’ feelings about the public library services offered? Observations, interviews and document studies were used to collect data. Data were analysed thematically.FindingsPublic schools do not have enough core textbooks and the situation is worse for supplementary readers; the public library branch studied offers critical school-type literacies to school children both at the library building as well as at public schools registered with it; and library staff members, teachers, and parents express positive feelings about the services offered.Research limitations/implicationsThis was a case study whose findings might not apply to the larger situation and the study did not confirm actual literacy benefits of the library services amongst school children by, for instance, conducting literacy tests. The findings are, however, an index to the possible situation in the macro context.Practical implicationsThe relevant stakeholders should find ways of co-opting public libraries as associates of public schools in literacy teaching. This relationship is not straight forward in Kenya.Originality/valueThe findings reported are from original research.

Abstract:
This article reports the findings of a case study that investigated the impact of music education on students in an F-12 school in Victoria, Australia that is considered as having a high percentage of young people with a refugee background. Key findings from this research indicated that music education had a positive impact on this group of young refugee students, which related to three primary themes: fostering a sense of wellbeing, social inclusion (a sense of belonging), and an enhanced engagement with learning. While some of these impacts were not always clearly distinguished from the more general experience of school, the students did identify some best practice elements of music learning and teaching that link to these three themes in a number of interrelated contexts. This research raises important questions about the ways in which education might be approached in schools with a high percentage of refugee background students and reaffirms the necessity of music and the arts as an important component.

Abstract:
This study was undertaken to explore and describe how English language is being taught and how the curriculum guidelines that emphasise learner-centredness are being interpreted by teachers in primary schools in Malaysia. Specifically, it focuses on whether teachers implement learner-centred classroom practices and describes teachers’ knowledge and beliefs about learner-centredness. Finally, the study focuses on teachers’ views on possible issues and challenges in implementing learner-centred approaches in Malaysian primary English classrooms. Four teachers from different school categories in a northern state in Malaysia participated in this research representing rural, town and two vernacular schools (Chinese and Tamil). Using ethnographic approach, the study involved qualitative/ exploratory approaches by documenting, describing and analysing data gathered from semi-structured interviews, observation plus note-taking, video-recording of classroom and video-stimulated recalled interviews. Findings indicate that teachers did not fully embrace the principles of learner-centredness but minimally integrated some learner-centred practices at varying degrees particularly in allowing more learner participation, introducing varied materials and activities, introducing activities that involved some discussion and discovery and encouraging interactions between learners and teachers in the target language. The findings also found some efforts to encourage self and peer-evaluation. Two fundamental principles of learner-centredness i.e., collaboration and negotiation of learning objectives and identification of learner objective and subjective needs were not found in any of their practices regardless of the school categories. Teacher’s interpretations of learner-centredness revealed superficial understanding about learner-centred practices. Consequently, recommendations were proposed in terms of improved teacher training, an outline of an idealised working construct and definition of learner-centredness to use in ELT classroom, areas of change needed in the education system in Malaysia and future research areas to investigate learner-centredness.

AbstractUniversity Camilo José Cela (UCJC) is a private university located in Madrid (Spain) that belongs to the SEK Education Group, an institution with 125 years of tradition and a strong innovation identity. This case study presents the response that UCJC has given to facilitate the adaptation of the educational community (students, families, and teachers) to the situation arising from the pandemic caused by COVID-19. It will explain the coordination actions between students from the School of Education at UCJC and the impact derived from their interventions. Specifically, it will detail students’ participation as teacher assistants in online teaching within the IB pedagogical model to respond to the demands of primary and secondary teachers. This collaboration is the most outstanding due to the number of students and schools involved and the efficacy and efficiency of its implementation.On the other hand, there were other interventions of a smaller scale but a high social impact committed to disadvantaged sectors of the population. For example, our students’ support gave refugee students from Syria reinforcing their training or the psycho-emotional, educational, and legal assistance that volunteers from the bachelor’s degree of law provided to children and families in social exclusion. It is also significant to highlight the UCJC international actions: the teacher training program, EachTeach, provided educational methodologies, resources, and media to refugee teachers at the Kakuma refugee camp (Kenya), helping them to raise awareness about COVID-19, and the Cambodian program dedicated to training volunteers on how to combat the pandemic on these vulnerable contexts, where children live on the streets.Finally, to define broader collaborations and scale these initiatives in the future, this case study will reflect on the reasons for the success achieved, especially in training and pedagogical innovation and in the use of educational technology. The UCJC and SEK Schools collaboration allowed the use of a common technological language, sharing values. The development of training, support, and advice, between the university community (professors and faculty students) and the schools’ community (teachers, students, and families), enabled a wide range of relevant issues to be addressed in dealing with COVID-19 by schools and the broader education community.

Abstract:
The Australian Catholic University (ACU National at www.acu.edu.au) is a public university funded by the Australian Government. There are six campuses across the country, located in Brisbane, Queensland; North Sydney, New South Wales; Strathfield, New South Wales; Canberra, Australian Capital Territory (ACT); Ballarat, Victoria; and Melbourne, Victoria. The university serves a total of approximately 27,000 students, including both full- and part-time students, and those enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Through fostering and advancing knowledge in education, health, commerce, the humanities, science and technology, and the creative arts, ACU National seeks to make specific and targeted contributions to its local, national, and international communities. The university explicitly engages the social, ethical, and religious dimensions of the questions it faces in teaching, research, and service. In its endeavors, it is guided by a fundamental concern for social justice, equity, and inclusivity. The university is open to all, irrespective of religious belief or background. ACU National opened its doors in 1991 following the amalgamation of four Catholic tertiary institutions in eastern Australia. The institutions that merged to form the university had their origins in the mid-17th century when religious orders and institutes became involved in the preparation of teachers for Catholic schools and, later, nurses for Catholic hospitals. As a result of a series of amalgamations, relocations, transfers of responsibilities, and diocesan initiatives, more than twenty historical entities have contributed to the creation of ACU National. Today, ACU National operates within a rapidly changing educational and industrial context. Student numbers are increasing, areas of teaching and learning have changed and expanded, e-learning plays an important role, and there is greater emphasis on research. In its 2005–2009 Strategic Plan, the university commits to the adoption of quality teaching, an internationalized curriculum, as well as the cultivation of generic skills in students, to meet the challenges of the dynamic university and information environment (ACU National, 2008). The Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) Program at ACU Canberra Situated in Australia’s capital city, the Canberra campus is one of the smallest campuses of ACU National, where there are approximately 800 undergraduate and 200 postgraduate students studying to be primary or secondary school teachers through the School of Education (ACT). Other programs offered at this campus include nursing, theology, social work, arts, and religious education. A new model of pre-service secondary teacher education commenced with the introduction of the Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) program at this campus in 2005. It marked an innovative collaboration between the university and a cohort of experienced secondary school teachers in the ACT and its surrounding region. This partnership was forged to allow student teachers undertaking the program to be inducted into the teaching profession with the cooperation of leading practitioners from schools in and around the ACT. In the preparation of novices for the teaching profession, an enduring challenge is to create learning experiences capable of transforming practice, and to instill in the novices an array of professional skills, attributes, and competencies (Putnam & Borko, 2000). Another dimension of the beginning teacher experience is the need to bridge theory and practice, and to apply pedagogical content knowledge in real-life classroom practice. During the one-year Graduate Diploma program, the student teachers undertake two four-week block practicum placements, during which they have the opportunity to observe exemplary lessons, as well as to commence teaching. The goals of the practicum include improving participants’ access to innovative pedagogy and educational theory, helping them situate their own prior knowledge regarding pedagogy, and assisting them in reflecting on and evaluating their own practice. Each student teacher is paired with a more experienced teacher based at the school where he/she is placed, who serves as a supervisor and mentor. In 2007, a new dimension to the teaching practicum was added to facilitate online peer mentoring among the pre-service teachers at the Canberra campus of ACU National, and provide them with opportunities to reflect on teaching prior to entering full-time employment at a school. The creation of an online community to facilitate this mentorship and professional development process forms the context for the present case study. While on their practicum, students used social software in the form of collaborative web logging (blogging) and threaded voice discussion tools that were integrated into the university’s course management system (CMS), to share and reflect on their experiences, identify critical incidents, and invite comment on their responses and reactions from peers.

Abstract:
I work as a teacher for St George’s Church of England Primary School, a one-form state primary school in Battersea, London, where I have taught in Key Stage 1 (KS1) and used Sounds-Write since 2017. I am the KS1 leader and the phonics lead at the school. With a total of 222 students in 2020/2021, St George’s Primary School had 51.8% of students whose first language is not English (versus an average of 20.9% across English mainstream primary schools), 47.7% of students eligible for free school meals (versus 23.5% across English mainstream primary schools), and 20.7% of children on the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) register – 10.8% of whom had an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) (versus 12.6% of students with SEND support across mainstream primary schools and 2% with EHCPs). St George’s Primary School was rated as Good by OFSTED (2019) and the report deemed that “adults ensure that pupils secure their phonics knowledge early on. For example, the highly effective teaching of phonics is enabling pupils in Year 1 to identify the six spelling choices for the sound ‘o’. Pupils use this information to support the very strong spelling seen in their literacy work”.

It is easy to find it being integrated into primary, secondary, and higher education, yet few studies discuss how it can enhance the teaching/learning process in early childhood education, especially in the case of students with special needs. This chapter aims to explore teachers' attitudes on technology integration into inclusive early childhood education. To do so, a case study is described using data collected through classroom observation of five English-language lessons, as well as surveys and interviews administered to teachers of a private kindergarten school in Spain. Results show that most of the surveyed teachers have positive attitudes towards the use of technology in their classrooms and have already tried to implement it. Additionally, two main challenges are revealed: choosing suitable applications for children and maintaining their attention when using technological devices in the classroom.

Abstract:
Information and communication technology (ICT) has the potential to revolutionize teaching and learning as well as school administration, yet little is known about the maturity of ICT planning in schools and the manner in which schools plan for the acquisition and use of these technologies in the educational environment. However, as school investments in ICT increase and they become more reliant on ICT, effective planning becomes more central to schools’ ability to maximize their use of technology. This research examines ICT planning in schools and proposes a four-stage model of the evolution of ICT planning maturity in schools. The model emerges from case studies conducted in eight New Zealand primary schools and provides insight into the nature of ICT planning in schools and the factors that contribute to planning maturity.

Abstract:
In Chile, despite the great coverage achieved, there are still children and adolescents who leave school without being able to complete 12 years of compulsory education (Casen, 2015); moreover, among the countries that make up the OECD, Chile is in the first places of deschooling (TALIS, 2013). This marginalization from the school system is affecting a significant number of children and hindering areas of integration and social development, which accentuates processes of social exclusion and violation of rights in Chile (Casen, 2015; Mide-UC, 2016; Mineduc, 2017). This is reinforced by pedagogical practices that strengthen these probabilities of failure (Román, 2013). The phenomenon of school reintegration has little evidence in relation to the human and technical component in school reintegration processes, either locally (Mide-UC, 2016; UNESCO-UNICEF-Chilean Association of Municipalities, 2012), or internationally (CEPAL, 2010; Contreras et al, 2014; Sucre, 2016), which implies observing and analyzing pedagogical intervention practices in these contexts, in terms of how these dialogical-reflective relational dynamics between teachers and children and adolescents are developed, from the perspective of pedagogical interactions, an area of growing interest in educational sciences, which looks at more than the action itself, at how and what happens in the interaction. (Colomina et al, 2001) This research from a qualitative, transactional approach, oriented from the perspective of descriptive studies (Hernández,et al, 2010) and enriched with the symbolic interactionism of Blumer (1969), whose contributions indicate that the nature of the teaching-learning processes can only be unraveled through direct examination, seeks to understand pedagogical intervention practices from the perspective of pedagogical interactions which are developed between teachers and their students, within the framework of the specialized protection programs in school reintegration implemented in Chile by the National Service for Minors of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, in vulnerable sectors of the communes of Talca, Region of Maule and La Pintana, Metropolitan Region. The analysis through the theoretical and empirical contributions provided by the scientific evidence on pedagogical interactions, in terms of how they are configured, deployed and how these pedagogical intervention practices are perceived by the actors involved, added to the findings obtained, provides an opportunity to innovate by allowing the observation of school reintegration as a scenario of human relations and to deepen around this professional action as a critical element, constituting the improvement of teaching and effectiveness in school reintegration processes.

Abstract:
Several studies are being carried out in the Mathematic teaching area that indicating the need to introduce statistical concepts to increase the educational gains and improved training of students. In this context, this work shows a proposed activity for elementary school students. The main objective of this study was to plan and implement a didactic sequence, involving the use of R- Commander program to stimulate students interest and the understanding of statistical concepts. In terms of methodology, the maid research is classified as a case study in a public school in Porto Alegre (RS, Brazil), with a class of 25 ninth graders of elementary school. This proposal was planned to focus on research and followed the concepts of Mathematical Modeling. Data analysis was based on the principles of Statistics Teaching. From the results it was possible to observe that the Mathematical Modeling combined with the use of R-Commander was a favorable combination for a good approach to Statistics teaching. The Mathematical Modeling, which was based this proposal, allowed students to think about reality through unforeseen situations that made possible the living of actual experiences. The software, much more than a simple tool was capable of breaking the static and monotonous view of some concepts, providing a dynamic and enabling students to further reflection on the concepts studied. The didactic proposal was able to arouse the interest and curiosity of the students and encouraged them to move. Students who previously showed apathetic in Mathematics classes were put on the move in search of the issues raised. Therefore it was observed that work with Mathematical Modeling in a research environment is a good alternative to overcome the limitation of lack of teaching statistical in primary school.
