Indonesia is a country frequently confronted with natural disasters, positioning it as a nation intimately familiar with such challenges. Studies indicate that a notable segment of the Indonesian population approaches the unpredictability of natural phenomena with a ’let’s see what happens’ attitude, often described as ’Cultural Resignation.’ This perspective is characterized by deferring all outcomes to a divine will, while underestimating the importance of human initiative. This research aims to explore the influence of Islamic Religious Education teachers in transforming this culture of resignation that prevails in the context of disasters. To achieve this, interviews will be conducted with a diverse group of 50 IRE teachers across various educational levels, including elementary, junior high, and high schools. The data collected will be analyzed using NVIVO 12 software, with the goal of identifying the critical role that IRE teachers play in promoting a more proactive and adaptive approach to managing disasters. The results of this study are expected to provide significant insights into the positive changes that Islamic Religious Education teachers can bring about in society’s views and attitudes towards disaster preparedness and response, highlighting the vital role of disaster mitigation-focused Islamic Religious Education.

The use of Deaf role-models (DRMs) with Deaf children born into hearing families is a practice aimed at improving outcomes for Deaf children, yet there is little peer-reviewed research available to influence future direction of such. This scoping review directs attention to available research on DRMs as a socio-linguistic and cultural viewpoint for balancing a predominantly audiological approach for early intervention for Deaf children. Systematic database searches initially yielded 132 records, of which seven articles were included in this scoping review. Findings are presented as five themes: ‘Deaf Gain’ and associated cultural capital, effective communication, developmental influences, family (or caregiver) attitudes to Deafness, and administration of DRM programs. Few formalized DRM programs were identified within the literature. The review concludes with recommendations for further exploration of the DRM experiences of Deaf people and their families within Australia.

Most deaf children are brought up in a linguistic environment in which their parents, caregivers, and teachers are not fluent signers and cannot provide them with natural language input. This paper presents a survey of the state-of-the-art on the existing practices for supporting families of deaf children and hearing practitioners within and outside Europe. Responses were submitted from seventeen different countries. The data were collected by an ongoing multilingual survey in the context of the “Sign Links” European Program Erasmus+ led by the Hellenic Federation of the Deaf. The results revealed the need to develop a common knowledge and understanding of the difficulties that hearing adults (practitioners and parents) face, their perspectives, attitudes, and knowledge about the deaf community, their skills in sign language, and the support they need to obtain awareness of deaf people's abilities within and outside European countries.
