    Abstract. As the Swedish governing documents state that the School-age educare should supplement the education in the compulsory school, the support for pupils with special needs could be expected to continue after school at the School-age educare. The purpose of this study is to elucidate how special education teachers in school and teachers at the School-age educare collaborate in the work with pupils in need of special support. A total of 30 teachers participated. The results were analyzed using Bronfenbrenner's ecological model and show that collaboration exists to a limited extent when teaching children with special needs. It is evident in the results that a clearer focus on inclusion is desirable and that a collaboration between professions will enable the school-age educare to be a complement to school.

    Abstract. The European Union promotes universal access to universal high-quality early childhood services to increase the life chances of disadvantaged children and to help families to get out of poverty (European Commission 2013). Yet, this policy can only be successfully implemented when contextual factors are considered. This case study of the Spanish city of Tarragona points to the local-level policy, governance, and organisational conditions that prevent ecec services from being more accessible and responsive to impoverished families. A survey of local teachers as well as semi-structured interviews with teachers, social workers and low-income families were employed. The results indicate the shortcomings of an insufficient and a homogeneously designed public ECEC system in a local context with high territorial disparities. ECEC services did not meet the needs of many vulnerable families because of insufficient offer, discriminatory access criteria, lack of outreach, unrecognised costs, estrange supplementary services, non-integration with other welfare actors, and little participation of the families.

    Abstract. Reading is considered to be an important language skill in teaching and learning, and there has been a great deal of interest in extensive reading (ER) in English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts over the past few decades. While numerous researchers have generally advocated for the benefits of ER, it has not been widely implemented, and teachers sometimes encounter various obstacles and hindrances to successfully and consistently implementing it. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ER from three aspects: (1) motivation towards reading in a second or foreign language, (2) improvement of reading skills and (3) development of second or foreign language proficiency with reference to both conceptual literature and empirical research. After providing a critical review of the previous literature, this paper will make suggestions on what factors should be considered and how ER can be implemented effectively.

    Abstract. Strong, vibrant and credible formal and informal institutions are critical for the harmonious existence anddevelopment of any society. Theirmultifaceted nature, as well as themultiplicity and variety of thefunctions they fulfill for societymakes institutions the indispensablecornerstones of social structure. This is mainly because they serve as a building-block through which countries developmental goals and aspirations can be realized. Thus, the paper was intended at identifying the challenges affecting the development of transparent, accountable, effective and well-functioning institutions in Ethiopia through the review of relevant scanty literature on the subject matter and data gained from CPIA. The review indicates organizational fragmentation, weak leadership, absence of continuity, lack of adequate resources, donor dependence and conflicting mandates, problem of governance, failure to integrate traditional values and norms, strong politicization during reforms as well as political instability are the major challenges affecting the development of capable institutions in Ethiopia. Hence, redirecting attention towards domestic norms and societal values, generating capacity for leadership through continuous and progressive training and education, and promoting institutional coherence through prioritizing, coordinating and integrating goals are suggested as appropriate policy options among others to ensure the development of adequate and capable institutions in Ethiopia.

    Abstract. The development of technology and information gave rise to new media in communication. This new media, called social media, has different characters from well-known characters. The emergence of this new media also has the potential to be used in spreading hate speech online. Unlimited hate speech content can lead to various negative impacts in the community; it can even cause social conflict, physical violence, harassment, and demonstrations. This paper aims to explain the implementation of formal social control over hate speeches in Indonesia by using a qualitative approach through literature studies as a data collection technique. As a result, formal social control over hate speeches in Indonesia is carried out by law enforcement officers by enforcing existing legal rules. In addition, the use of formal social controls that are not balanced in tackling hate speech in Indonesia can cause bias and discrimination and ultimately lead to public distrust of law enforcers and the criminal justice system. A need for alternative social control in controlling hate speech that occurs in the community is to be discussed further.

    Abstract. The study explored the underrepresentation of qualitative methods in faculties of education in Nigerian universities. Qualitative method was employed. Furthermore and in line with qualitative approach adopted, interpretive paradigm was deployed to understand the phenomenon under investigation. Ten faculties of education from ten universities across Nigeria were purposively selected. Semi structured interview and documentary materials were used for data generation. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings revealed that most students (master and doctoral), researchers and scholars in faculties of education used quantitative methods in their dissertations and journal articles. It was also found that the underrepresentation of qualitative methods in education was influenced by a popular belief among pro-quantitative methods that qualitative approach lack objectivity, validity and reliability when adopted in the study.

    Abstract. This paper discussed the challenges of implementing e-learning in Nigeria educational system in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Globally, the world is faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has held the economy at ransom not exempting the educational sector. This pandemic has brought about recent changes and disruptions in the educational sector which serves as a catalyst for the development of any nation. Educational sector globally is seen to be shifting towards e-learning in order to cushion the effect of this pandemic. However, developing countries evidence from the Nigeria experience is posed with the challenge of shifting from the traditional teaching method to the e-learning during the pandemic. The challenges arise because of the varying degree of preparedness of the institutions, lack of infrastructures, paucity of funds and policies issues in the Nigeria education sector. It is in tandem with this prevailing issues that this study examines the Nigeria educational system based on the global pandemic. This paper further discussed the concept of COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity of e-learning and challenges as well as opportunities and implementation of e-learning in Nigeria. Hence, the study conclude that the present world pandemic is making the educational sector to look inward. Institutions are now embracing e-learning which serves as alternative to the face-to-face contact learning thereby helping the institutions cover gaps the pandemic might cause the institutions academic calendar. The study recommended amongothers; that government should be proactive in ameliorating the challenges identified in this study and build on the opportunities e-learning offers educational institutions even post COVID-19. Also, for e-learning to be effective, appropriate measure should be given to maintenances, provision of stable internet provider to support easy and fast learning andteaching.

    Abstract. Students’ achievement in class is usually a product of various moderating variables, some of which are innate to the learner while, others may be demographically based. This study investigated gender-differences in the learning styles of high and low achievers in biology. Two research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted ex-post facto research design. The sample consisted of 1062 biology students composed through multi-stage sampling technique. These were drawn from three out of the six educational zones in Anambra State. Empirical data were collated using a four-point Likert rating scale which was developed and validated by the researchers. Data analyses was done using frequency counts, chi-square statistics and a post hoc test, conducted through the Turkey/Kramer technique. Results of the study among others indicated that collaborative and independent learning styles were more pre-disposing to high achievement in biology unlike the dependent and avoidant styles which corroborated with low achievement. Again, female students fared better under collaborative technique while males performed better under independent learning styles. The need to foster a conducive and inclusive classroom environment for the learners, irrespective of gender was pointed out.

    Abstract. This article represents a theoretical approach to the analysis of two concepts: the green economy and green jobs, between which there is a causal relation: the development of the green economy, a concept developed since the end of the 20th century, brings with it opportunities for the global labour markets and, thus, leads to the emergence of green jobs. For this article we have used systemic approach (transition from global to European level) to show how the green economy is seen and how societies have developed initiatives to create and develop green jobs. The idea around which the article is articulated is that the development of the green economy and, implicitly, of green jobs, must not be seen only as a saving solution to the crises (economic, climatic, social, health) facing global society, but also as normal social realities, specific to the society of the XXI century, a society built on the pillars of growth, inclusion, and environmental protection.

    Abstract. This literature review aims to provide insight into the reconstruction of Islamic law (fiqh) through the maqāṣīdal-syarī’ah approach in Jasser Auda’s perspective and how the contextualization is with the practice of Islamic economics in Indonesia. Maqāṣīd in Jasser Auda’s perspective has four meanings, namely wisdom behind a law, good final goal to be achieved by law, divine goals and moral concepts that are the basis of law, and mashālih. The concept of modern Islamic law based on maqāṣīdal-syarī’ah is an offer of Jasser Auda’s thought to provide solutions in the balance and harmony of human life between the affairs of the hereafter and the world. Jasser Auda in his research tries to reconstruct the old maqāṣīd concept which is protection and preservation towards the maqāṣīd theory which refers to development and rights. Therefore, the concept of maqāṣīd offered by Jasser Auda places the values and principles of humanity at the foremost.The implications of the application of maqāṣīd al-syarī’ah using the maṣlaḥah instrument in the context of the Islamic economy in Indonesia are used to fulfill the needs of sharia policies in the economic sector which do not only revolve around Islamic banking matters.

    Abstract. The present study is a meta-analytical analysis of the ideas about the construction and interpretation of reality, about the construction and interpretation of texts. The conclusion of the study is that the text allows multiple interpretations for at least two reasons: a) because it (the text) is the formulation of a reality and not the reality itself and b) for the reader has at least three reading positions: decoding, deciphering and decryption. Whenever a text is read / interpreted, one wears clothes that wear the three positions. The most versatile of the text producers is the journalist; this is a person who not only wears interested clothes (the 3 rows of clothes), he gives more and wears as much as possible without seeing the shoes of various political, social, media interests. Therefore, the journalistic text is the most populated by terminals and primers that distort reality. In other words, the producer of texts who has the deontological obligation to show reality is the one who builds / deconstructs reality in order to generate information. The journalist aims to gain information.

    Abstract. In this article I will argue that the film adaptation of the play Hamlet by Michael Almereyda (2000) is a reflection on contemporary postmodern society that highlights the tragedy of an individual who is in a constant search for justice and identity through technology. I am particularly interested in the social transformations of a feudal world represented in Shakespeare's play and the values of advanced capitalism visible in this film by Michael Almereyda. I will also analyze how memory is constructed by editing and manipulating the image through the videos recorded by the main character in order to find out the truth and seek revenge for the death of his father. The image favors the evocation of the memories of Hamlet and connects him to the present while it stimulates the expression of past experiences, as well as the capacity for self-recognition, which helps to strengthen his own identity.
