“…Indeed, in 2011, 9.84 million people in the city of Delhi lived in slums, which was approximately half the city’s population (Agarwal, 2011; Bhan, 2009). In India, people who live in slums typically earn less than USD 16 per month (Chadha et al, 2006), are illiterate or semiliterate (Banerjee et al, 2016), and engage in low-skilled (and often stigmatized) work (Subbaraman et al, 2014; Tsujita, 2014). Generally, poverty is manifest in an individual’s (or collective’s) income, living standards, and education (Alkire & Santos, 2014; Bradley & Corwyn, 2002).…”

Research has focused on the role of entrepreneurial action in alleviating poverty. However, there is a gap between individuals’ short-term outcomes from entrepreneurship overcoming immediate resource concerns and the large-scale impact of entrepreneurship on institutional and system change. Therefore, in this study, we explore entrepreneurs’ beliefs about how entrepreneurial action can alleviate poverty. To do so, we conducted a qualitative study of entrepreneurs of businesses located in Indian slums and identified the impact of expectations, role models, and the subjective value of their children’s education in attempts to alleviate poverty.

Students with LEP require effective instruction to allow them to achieve the same learning standards as their peers whose native language is English.…”

“…This domain of learning is considered critical for ELLs as teaching and learning occurs in English. The discrepancy in achievement for students with LEP and native speakers is alarming, and the learning gap widens over time (Banerjee et al, 2015). One strategy is to use curriculum-based readers' theatre.…”

Students whose primary native language differs from the language taught in their school require specialized instruction and creative teaching strategies. Readers’ theatre is an evidence-based practice that builds language skills in English language learners. This technique was used in a diverse kindergarten classroom to increase oral fluency and vocabulary. Social and literacy skills were also targeted. This paper examines the benefits of using role-play and specifically readers’ theatre as an approach to teaching English language learners. Keywordslanguage learners, readers’ theatre, role-play, fluency, vocabulary, social skills, literacy skills

“…Oyunların gelecek kuşaklara aktarılması için emek veren insanların bulunmasına rağmen, oyunun eğitimdeki yerinin incelenmesi, bir bilimsel çalışma alanı ve konusu olarak ele alınması son otuz yıldaki zaman diliminde gerçekleştirilmiştir (Adıgüzel, 2014, s. 258). Çocuk gelişiminin en önemli basamaklarından olan okul öncesinde de oyunun önemi üzerine farklı araştırmaların olduğu görülmektedir (Ahioğlu, 1999;Akınbay, 2014;Banerjee, Alsalman ve Alqafari, 2017;Erbay ve Durmuşoğlu Saltalı, 2012;Ergin ve Ergin, 2017;Gül, 2006;Güler, 2015;Kroeker, 2017;Li, Hestenes ve Wang, 2016;Metin Aslan, 2013;Şener, 1996;Tsai, 2017;Veiga, Neto ve Rieffe, 2016). Brosterman'e (1997) göre oyun, anaokulundaki he-deflere ulaşabilmek için birinci derecede önemlidir ve tüm anaokulu etkinlikleri, dans, bahçe işleri, şarkı söyleme, hikâye okuma oyundur; oyun sistemin çalışmasını sağlayan, onu ileri götüren bir makine gibidir (Akt.…”

In this study, the opinions of the teachers about the problems that the preschool children reflect on the games were investigated. Research has been based on phenomenological (qualitative) design from the qualitative research methods. The study group was selected according to convenience sampling based on the purposive sampling in non-probabilty sampling methods. The study group consists of 19 teachers who work in preschool institutions affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in Mus city. The data were collected via semi-structured interview forms. In this framework semi-structured interviews were carried out with teachers and the data obtained were subjected to content analysis. According to the results obtained in the research, teachers thought that children reflect various problems in their games. Teachers thought that the education of the parents is effective in the problems that the students reflect on their games. Theachers also thought that children who were cared by their families have improved themselves in terms of self-confidence when playing games. Teachers thought that the behavior of children in their games is indirect or directly influenced from the income situation of the parents. They stated that it would be more effective to give them duties and responsibilities in order to socialize and activate children more in games and also to support this situation with material spiritual reinforcements. In this context, it can be suggested that teachers follow different sources and studies in which they develop themselves in terms of classroom management. In rural areas it may be suggested to undertake joint project studies on family education with the participation of experts from the Ministry of National Education, psychological counseling and guidance and preschool education, under the leadership of universities. It can be suggested to arrange to work on school day as a family-child-teacher play day on a day or a day of the week and more attention can be given to group games as well.
