“…The concepts of social reality are not easily interpreted, especially when exploring complex phenomena like gender issues in nursing. The drawing method, as a participatory research method, was chosen as it allows its creator to simplify the complexity of the observed socially constructed reality [ 20 ] and thereby to escape the linearity of the spoken or written word [ 21 ]. The draw-and-write technique is not a new method of data collection and has been used in a variety of settings as either a stand-alone method or as part of a wider set of research methods [ 17 ].…”

Background Gender stereotypes influence both women and men who work as nurses as well as individuals considering nursing as a profession. The aim of this study was to explore male and female nursing students’ experiences and perspectives regarding gender-defined roles as well as how they view their future professional roles. Methods The study used a descriptive qualitative design. A convenience sample included 72 full-time second- and third-year undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected in 2017 using a self-administered qualitative questionnaire consisting of 11 essay-type questions. As an additional data collection method, a drawing method was applied. The data were analysed by content analysis separately for the male and female perspectives. Results Altogether, eight themes emerged, with half explaining the male and the other half the female students’ perspectives. Students choose nursing for altruistic, opportunistic and organisational reasons. Among the female students, another reason “family and social incentives” was also identified. Female students’ vision of their future professional role included altruism and positive representations of ‘being a nurse’, whereas the male students’ vision included management and leadership, and technical aspects of nursing. Conclusions Both male and female nursing students face the limits of their own gender roles, yet they are prepared to challenge these gender-based perceptions. Tackling stereotypes and raising public awareness, using gender-inclusive language and strategies for recruitment, ensuring gender diversity in nursing teams and revising the nursing curriculum where appropriate, are just some of the implications that arise to help overcome gender differences.

“…1. The prior knowledge of the students about the circular economy and recycling was assessed through qualitative analysis according to the method of drawing as a qualitative research tool from a social complexity perspective (Janis et al, 2020). The validity or the accuracy of the survey and the data collection was guaranteed by the three co-coders of the data-the initial drawings of the students were repeatedly revised to ensure that they were unambiguously understandable and reliable (Hayashi et al, 2019).…”

Biology education plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between science and society. This is of high interest and relevance for several reasons helping students to become biologically literate and understanding basic biological concepts and principles as healthcare, environmental issues, and sustainability. The aim of this study was to investigate the understanding of the 9th grade and the 12th grade students regarding circular economy and recycling. To achieve the objectives, a study was conducted with the convenience sample, involving students from a rural school. The sample was made up of 27 students, including 17 students from the 9th grade and 10 students from the 12th grade. The prior knowledge of students was assessed by the tool of drawing on the topic of the circular economy and recycling. A two-hour training module was created and carried out, including several practical tasks followed by fulfilling the compliant worksheets. The effectiveness of the module was assessed by the questionnaire focused on the new information received during the module and the general feedback of the module was gathered from the students. The results were analyzed using qualitative content analysis and descriptive quantitative research methods. The findings revealed that the understanding of circular economy and recycling among the 9th grade and the 12th grade students was different, expressed in the categories of pre-knowledge and the secondary school students are aware of the importance and purpose of circular economy and recycling. The differences appaired in the students’ obtained knowledge and changed attitudes of the 9th grade and the 12th grade students and the improvement of attitudes and willingness to behave in a sustainable way surpassed the increase of understanding of term “circular economy”.

“…Qualitative research has been utilized for investigating smart manufacturing previously. In some instances, these projects focus on the methodology and advocacy of particular research approaches [15,34]. Marrucci et al's [21] work is similar to this project in utilizing a comparative, qualitative analysis that collected data from a range of smart manufacturing companies.…”

The transition to smart factories, characterized by computer-integrated facilities and advanced technologies, has heightened the demand for specific and advanced skills in workers. This multidisciplinary project brings together insights from cognitive psychology research and qualitative field research to present a framework that identifies factors at the individual and organizational system levels for success in smart manufacturing. The cognitive psychology research indicated that augmenting human cognition, particularly memory, significantly improved performance in training scenarios. The field research resulted in a multi-factor framework to address individual and organizational decision-making factors. A proposal is presented to apply the research findings to designing a training paradigm for smart manufacturing workers and facilities to be adaptable for a variety of situations.
