“…However, in addition to this general process, since there is a flexible approach in qualitative research, it can be reshaped again and again according to new situations and analyses encountered in the research process. However, in general, all qualitative methods basically go through these stages (Tomaszewski, Zarestky, & Gonzalez, 2020). In this direction, this research was carried out in accordance with the qualitative research method and phenomenology pattern.…”

The purpose of this research is to get the opinions of teachers in order to determine the role of creative drama in the spiritual and moral education of children and adolescents in the age of digitalisation. The research was carried out in the phenomenology pattern, one of the qualitative research methods. The participant group of the research consists of 40 teachers who teach in various primary, secondary and high schools in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the 2021–2022 academic year. The data collection tool of the research is the semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. As a result of the research, the vast majority of teachers stated that they benefited from creative drama activities and digital creative drama activities several times in the spiritual and moral education of children and adolescents. The majority of the teachers participating in the research stated that they found themselves somewhat inadequate regarding the use of digital creative drama activities in the spiritual and moral education of children and adolescents. Teachers participating in the research categorised the advantages of digital creative drama activities in the spiritual and moral education of children and adolescents as practical, learning situations and assessment-oriented advantages. In-service training programmes should be organised to improve this situation, since teachers benefit from creative drama activities and digital creative drama activities several times in the spiritual and moral education of children and adolescents and find themselves a bit inadequate. Keywords: Creative drama, spiritual and moral education, teacher opinions;

“…This study adopted a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design focused on the essence of a lived experience or phenomenon open to observation or perception by diverse individuals with diverse viewpoints (Tomaszewski, Zarestky, & Gonzalez, 2020). It also focuses on the depth and complexity of phenomena (Guest, Namey, & McKenna, 2017), which is the role of IKS in the tutoring of FYFGAS in higher education.…”

Background: The study explored indigenous knowledge systems’ role in tutoring first-year first-generation African students (FYFGAS) transitioning from high school to higher education. During this process, tutors and students implicitly engage in indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) that allow for enculturation and holistic support for FYFGAS.Objectives: Drawing on Schlossberg’s Career Transitioning Theory as an underpinning framework, the researcher explored how FYFGAS experienced tutoring sessions as a positive conduit towards their successful transition into their first year at university, embedded in the tutor’s use of IKS processes.Method: This article adopted a phenomenological qualitative design within an interpretive paradigm. Data were collected using a semi-structured individual interview schedule with six participants who were first years and the first generation to attend universities in their families. These included four females and two males between the ages of 19 and 21 years. Five of the participants were black South Africans, and one was originally from Zimbabwe but a naturalised resident of South Africa. Data were analysed through inductive thematic analysis.Results: The findings revealed that tutors were role models to FYFGAS as they transitioned. Tutors further acted as agents of empowerment, thus fulfilling the role of change agents. Students believed that tutoring sessions promoted active learning. Through their active engagement, students developed problem-solving and knowledge-acquisition skills.Conclusion: There is a need for higher education institutions (HEIs) to build systems that embrace the diverse IKS in supporting the FYFGAS. Developing a holistic understanding of IKS and using these practices during the tutor sessions of FYFGAS will help transform HEI spaces and fully embrace diversity. This will allow these students’ career transitioning to be inclusive.Contribution: The study contributes towards guiding higher education institutions on how to embrace and support students who are the first generation in their families to attend university. It brings further insight to the university leadership on the lived experiences of these students and h ow universities can adapt their first year experience programs to be more inclusive of these students

“…The present study utilizes a qualitative research approach to explore the manner in which respondents have adjusted and responded to the impacts of COVID-19 as well as to the effects of the lockdown measures taken by South Africa. Since qualitative research seeks to understand the research phenomenon, as opposed to predicting its outcome (Tomaszewski et al, 2020), it was deemed most applicable to examine the process of the adaptation of the MICE sector to the COVID-19 tourism environment. Further, owing to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, and that the subsequent impacts (on tourism) are yet to be fully understood, this research design allows for a rigorous exploration into the subject matter.…”

COVID-19 has brought to the fore drastic and transformative changes to MICE tourism. The current study therefore sought to examine the adaptive responses employed by the MICE sector of South Africa to survive and maintain business continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adopting a qualitative research design, 19 representatives of various subsectors of the MICE industry (including organisers, suppliers, and associations) were interviewed. The data reveals that the immediate strategies implemented by many MICE organisations involved the reevaluation of their operational costs. Moreover, the study found that the sector has readjusted its business models to include virtual events in order to ensure recovery and resilience in light of the pandemic. The study argues the importance of understanding adaptive strategies as broadening theory on tourism and crises (specifically to the MICE sector) as well as understanding the process of sector resilience post-COVID-19.
