Transforming Teacher Perspectives: The Impact Of A Participatory Pedagogy Program On Early Childhood Educators' Beliefs About Children's Participation

Dr. Elara Vance — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Background: Children's right to participation is a cornerstone of quality early childhood education (ECE), yet its implementation is often associated with teachers' beliefs and traditional pedagogical models. While many studies document teachers' perspectives, there is a scarcity of research evaluating the outcomes of targeted professional development (PD) designed to influence these views. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between participation in a professional development program, grounded in participatory pedagogy, and early childhood teachers' beliefs and self-reported practices concerning children's participation.

Methods: A quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test mixed-methods design was employed with a cohort of 24 in-service early childhood teachers in Türkiye. The intervention consisted of a 10-week PD program focused on children's rights, participatory theory, and practical strategies. Data were collected using a pre- and post-intervention survey measuring attitudes towards participation, supplemented by semi-structured interviews and reflective journals to capture qualitative changes in teachers' understanding.

Results: Quantitative analysis revealed a statistically significant positive change in teachers' attitudes toward children's participation following the intervention ($p \< .05$). Thematic analysis of the qualitative data showed a profound conceptual shift. Pre-intervention, teachers defined participation narrowly as "giving choices" and were constrained by a protectionist view of childhood. Post-intervention, they articulated a more complex understanding of participation as a "partnership," viewing children as competent co-constructors of their learning and demonstrating increased confidence in navigating systemic barriers.

Conclusion: Participation in targeted, theoretically-informed professional development is strongly associated with a positive transformation in teachers' beliefs about children's participation, shifting them from tokenistic gestures toward authentic pedagogical partnership. The findings suggest a critical need to embed comprehensive training on children's rights and participatory pedagogy within all levels of teacher education to foster genuinely democratic and child-centered ECE environments.

Developing Communicative Competence In Engineering Students Based On The Principles Of An Individualized Approach

This study develops and evaluates an individualized methodology for English for engineering that calibrates input, tasks, and feedback to learner profiles while retaining shared outcomes. In a 14-week quasi-experimental course with 126 students across three disciplines, the treatment integrated initial diagnostics, calibrated case-based tasks, CEFR-aligned nested rubrics, and targeted feedback; the comparison followed a uniform ESP syllabus. Performance was assessed by blind panels via a design-review speaking task and a technical memo, with vocabulary, engagement analytics, and self-efficacy as secondary measures. The individualized cohort achieved larger gains in discourse management, pragmatic appropriateness, and organization of written justifications (medium-to-large effects); pronunciation and vocabulary also improved moderately. Students reported clearer goals and stronger transfer to design courses. The approach proved feasible without extra contact hours and aligns with the iterative, requirements-driven ethos of engineering design.

Azamov Umarkhon Yakhoyokhonovich — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The present article investigates the philosophical and ethical underpinnings of social intelligence development in future teachers, emphasizing the integral role of moral reasoning, empathy, and value-based decision-making in educational contexts. Social intelligence, as a multidimensional construct, encompasses the capacity to perceive, interpret, and respond effectively to interpersonal dynamics while maintaining ethical and philosophical coherence in professional practice. This study synthesizes theoretical perspectives from contemporary philosophy, moral psychology, and educational ethics to elucidate how value-oriented pedagogical strategies can enhance the social competencies of pre-service teachers.
