“…We are beginning to reflect upon what we learned in the project's first year. In our second year, we plan to publish findings that contribute to the empirical research base on ES in K-12 settings and emerging scholarship on ES professional development (Fern andez, 2019;Sacramento, 2019). However, our most urgent goal has been, and remains, supporting and strengthening the ES program of our partner district so it might serve as an exemplar for what ES in public schools can be.…”

In this article, we discuss a partnership with a district-wide Ethnic Studies (ES) program, the Ethnic Studies Professional Development (ESPD) project, through which we designed and led a yearlong teacher professional development series for middle and high school ES teachers in one school district. We describe the context of the ESPD project, our vision for a critical youth-centered professional development experience, how this vision aligns with scholarship on ES content and pedagogy, and how we operationalized this vision through key choices we made about the scope and sequence of the year. We conclude with a summary of what was accomplished, the project's next steps, and implications for teacher-educators.

“…Therefore, the discussion, interpretation, and investigation of the phenomenon in the study is framed in the experiences of individual teachers. Only once this knowledge was examined the study shifted from the individual to the collective understanding of the nature of the unique experiences from the perspective of its lived qualities (Sonia, 2017;Sacramento, 2019).…”

One of the recent developments across education priorities in South Africa is the provision of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to schools to achieve the objectives of the country’s National Development Plan (NDP) agenda 2030. With the current focus on adoption of technology for teaching and learning, it is imperative to fully understand the perceptions and attitudes of teachers towards the use of ICT in their practice. Thus, this study investigated the teachers’ perceptions and attitudes on the use of ICTs for teaching and learning. The findings are based on data collected through semi-structured interviews, journal reflections, and lesson observations. The results reveal that most teachers have positive perceptions towards the use of ICT for teaching and learning. It also indicated that the attitudes of teachers are varied based on the level of ICT training and support that they receive. The results of this research might be foremost to provide clear insights that could be contributing to the effective adoption of technology for teaching and learning.

Purpose This study aims to highlight the system-wide potential relationships between forms of human bias, selected Lean tools and types of waste in a manufacturing process. Design/methodology/approach A longitudinal single-site ethnographic case study using digital processing to make a material receiving process Lean was adopted. An inherent knowledge process with internal stakeholders in a stimulated situation alongside process requirements was performed to achieve quality data collection. The results of the narrative analysis and process observation, combined with a literature review identified widely used Lean tools, wastes and biases that produced a model for the relationships. Findings The study established the relationships between bias, Lean tools and wastes which enabled 97.6% error reduction, improved on-time accounting and eliminated three working hours per day. These savings resulted in seven employees being redeployed to new areas with delivery time for products reduced by seven days. Research limitations/implications The single site case study with a supporting literature survey underpinning the model would benefit from testing the model in application to different industries and locations. Practical implications Application of the model can identify potential relationships between a group of human biases, 25 Lean tools and 10 types of wastes in Lean manufacturing processes that support decision makers and line managers in productivity improvement. The model can be used to identify potential relationships between forms of human biases, Lean tools and types of wastes in Lean manufacturing processes and take suitable remedial actions. The influence of biases and the model could be used as a basis to counter implementation barriers and reduce system-wide wastes. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that connects the cognitive perspectives of Lean business processes with waste production and human biases. As part of the process, a relationship model is derived.
