“…Constructivism is based on the philosophical perspective that knowledge is constructed rather than discovered. Making use of constructivism, new knowledge in this study was constructed by linking new information found during the literature search to prior knowledge on the subject matter (Neutzling, Pratt & Parker 2019). A literature search was used to find appropriate literature from previous studies such as articles from academic journals, books in both print and electronic format, conference proceedings and relevant university http://www.sajim.co.za Open Access policies from across the world.…”

Background:The Internet has changed the way that academia access information for teaching and research purposes. 'Internet-based research' refers to studies where data are collected from the internet, often social media sites. However, there are no definitive ethical guidelines for researchers on how to collect, analyse and use the data collected from internet-based research.Objective: The objective of the article was to develop a framework that can be used by researchers to consider ethical issues in internet-based research. Methods:The framework was developed from an in-depth literature review that examined recent research that investigated ethical dilemmas in internet-based research and existing guidelines that are available from universities across the globe to guide research ethics committees on how to evaluate such research. Results:The framework that was developed consisted of five focus areas: the study population, legal issues, privacy expectations of users, data considerations and data storage. For each of these focus areas, several subareas were identified and discussed in detail to ensure that data were collected in a responsible and ethical manner. Conclusion:The recommendation from the study is that both researchers and university research ethics committees should use the framework that was developed to guide their ethical decision-making process when collecting data from the Internet.

“…Teachers struggle with limited access to equipment, tools, and appropriate spaces, significantly limiting their ability to incorporate diverse activities, especially in physical education (Pangrazi & Beighle, 2019). Neutzling et al (2019) also highlighted that the congested curriculum and limited time allotted to each subject add to teachers' challenges. The demanding curriculum limits the time for learning activities, making it difficult for teachers to provide adequate and well-rounded primary instruction.…”

This research aims to explore the experiences of non-physical education teachers in implementing physical education in the primary grades as a basis for creating feasible capability-building initiatives. Employing a qualitative-descriptive research design, in-depth interviews were conducted with twenty non-physical education generalist teachers using a guided interview questionnaire validated by experts. Through the triangulation of results, this study uncovers the creativity and resourcefulness exhibited by generalist teachers in lesson preparation. However, several challenges impede their successful implementation of physical education, including the risk of injuries, inadequate equipment, a lack of training or seminars, insufficient teaching strategies, and personal health issues. The findings inform the development of conclusions and recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of generalist teachers in teaching physical education in primary grades.

“…New information is always analyzed according to the model of primary perception, but at the same time it changes this model. It is important to note another important aspect of constructivism which is the use of active learning strategies in child-centered education (Neutzling et al, 2019). Dewey (1910) concept that all of a child's "thinking is inquisitive" is a fundamental reflection of the Reggio Emilia approach to the child's role in their own learning.…”

To Be or Not to Be a Great Educator

By exploring certain perspectives, it is hoped that teachers can be helped to create inclusive educational contexts by transforming the learning environment into a third educator. Based on the Reggio Emilia approach, we hope to reveal the ways and means by which the spaces of the educational institution can be interpreted, prepared and in some cases created, in order to encourage children to explore and express themselves. This study presents the concept of context as a modern educational space and draws attention to several essential aspects for the creation of educational contexts: educational provocations and invitations; the use of materials and tools to create them; the learning documentation and learning visibility; and the nature of the adult-child dialogue. A qualitative research model was applied that produces information in the form of descriptive data records by providing clear and systematic descriptions. The data collection techniques used were literature studies and narrative interviews with pre-school teachers. Twelve pre-school teachers participated in the study and criteria-based selection was applied, with thematic analysis being used to analyze the data (Soderberg, 2006). The experiences of pre-school teachers in creating contexts are summarized by distinguishing the following aspects of the thematic analysis of contextual development experiences: the change in the role of the teacher, the nature of the child’s activities and the process and principles of creating contexts. The results indicated that the context helps to engage the child and establish an authentic “dialogue” between the child and the materials and tools used, which is then developed with the adult. Educational contexts help develop the creation of an educational environment and allows teachers to create unique learning situations in any scenario.
