“…Certainly, learning styles differ according to culture and social and political context (Yousef, 2018). However, the relation between learning styles and social learning contexts (Drugău-Constantin, 2019), so useful in identifying study programmes promoting the rapid and effective conversion of students into practitioners, has scarcely been dealt with in the literature (Aksoy and Baran, 2020; Churngchow, 2020; Durukan et al , 2021).…”

Purpose The paper aims to highlight how an applied learning framework or “community of practice” (CoP) combined with a traditional theoretical course of study enables the identification of teaching-learning processes which facilitate knowledge transfer from practitioners to graduate information technology (IT) students for quicker integration in the labour market. Design/methodology/approach CoPs are identified based on cluster analysis according to Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (1984), with data obtained through a survey. Empirical research is applied to the CoP developed within a non-formal learning framework, principal new actors being IT specialists linked to graduate IT students and teachers on a traditional university course. Graduate IT students can gain knowledge of the ideal employee and the social and emotional skills needed to integrate with the IT labour market. Findings The K-Means algorithm helps to identify clusters of graduate IT students displaying necessary knowledge acceptance behaviour to convert them into specialists. The results of the cluster analysis show different learning styles of the labour force, providing an overview of candidate selection methods and the knowledge, skills and attitudes expected by users. Research limitations/implications Although the research adds value to the existing literature on learning styles and the knowledge and core skills needed by IT specialists, it was limited to an emerging market. Originality/value The study provides a preliminary overview of graduate IT students’ attitudes from an emerging market to the re-engineering of academic learning contexts to facilitate professional knowledge transfer, converting them into IT practitioners and integrating them in the labour market of an emerging economy.

“…Other than that, Sharifah, and Aliza lists four types of cognitive plays included Functional Play, Constructive Play, Dramatic Play, and Games with rules. Past studies indicate the significant on dramatic play (Nakawa, 2020;King et al, 2020;Halimah et al, 2020;Aksoy & Baran, 2020, Walan & Enochsson, 2019, constructive play and games with rules (Reikeras, 2020).…”

“…Results demonstrated that play made a difference in children's word awareness (recognition), but not in children's understandings of word meanings. Aksoy and Baran (2020) have found differences that children who participated in play-based social skills training were detected to be at a significantly higher level in dimensions of 'communication', 'adaptation', 'selfcontrol', 'prosocial behaviours', 'assertiveness', and total social skills compared to children who have not had any intervention. More recently, Gibb et al (2021) observed improvement in all three domains of brain development, language, and motor skills.…”

Playing is the leading activity in kindergarten education, a unique form of activity that conforms to the age characteristics of preschool children, and an important way to promote the overall and healthy development of children's bodies and minds. This research's purpose was to carry out a literature systematic review on the learning through play in early childhood. This review was estimated on the steps pointed in the PRISMA criteria, as well as new research that merged different research designs. The publications for this study were adopted using two prestige databases: Scopus and Web of Science. This review's four major themes were derived from a thematic analysis, which includes (1) research area, (2) language, and (3) timeline. Thus, the result of this study made several significant additions to the corpus of knowledge for practical reasons. The following findings display the significance of learning through the play method in early childhood: 1) Learning outcomes, 2) Pedagogical, 3) Professional development and 4) Parents' beliefs. The learning outcomes of learning through the play method seem to be a key research topic, while parents' belief is the lacking research topic among scholars. Finally, this paper is concluded with suggestions for future research directions and a call for more diverse research paradigms.

“…Storytelling has long been recognised as an important aspect of children’s moral and prosocial learning and development (Aksoy and Baran, 2020; Kidd and Castano, 2013). Multiple research studies highlight how children’s stories can inspire children to perform more prosocial behaviours (e.g.…”

Philanthropic tales: A critical analysis of how philanthropic citizenship is represented in children’s picture-books – problems and possibilities

In this article we critically question how philanthropic citizenship is represented within children’s literature. Critical content analysis of over 100 western children’s picture-books reveals that the majority of children’s contemporary literature frames philanthropy as an individual act of personal responsibility which takes place in the private sphere, focusing on singular acts of kindness and generosity, overlooking connections between the cause and wider societal socioeconomic, political, environmental and/or social justice issues. Furthermore, many stories reinforce concerning traditional and stereotypical ideas of gender, race and power. Nonetheless, we also identify several books which notably seek to move beyond this, connecting acts of philanthropy to wider ideological, economic and political factors, placing a strong emphasis on social justice. In conclusion, we call for further research to explore how philanthropic stories are used within the home and classroom, and what children interpret as the ‘good philanthropic citizen’ through these stories.
