This study articulates the concepts of sustainability and work safety to understand how safe working practices enable knowledge in the practice of sustainability. Anchored in the lenses of the learning process of practiced-based studies, we conducted a case study of qualitative nature in a forest harvest operation of a Brazilian company with sustainability in the core of its business strategy. We adopted as collection tools in-depth observation, semi-structured interview, and documental research, which were assessed by the thematic analysis of narratives. As results, we identified that the learning process of sustainability occurs in this context in a combination of institutional mechanisms and practices located at the occupational communities. Among those, the safe working practices indicate being capable of enabling the knowledge in practice of the systemic and integrative perspective, carefulness, responsibility, and look to the future, reflecting the assumptions contained in the ideal of sustainability. We also verified that, with the practices, this group has been establishing alliances, building common concepts, and producing and reproducing practices that change the way of learning sustainability.

Supervision is an integral part of the language teacher education process which plays a significant role in improving teachers’ teaching practice. This study explores Kuwaiti English as a foreign language (EFL) female student teachers’ perspective on the performance of their supervisors during the practicum course. It sought to explore the general perspectives associated with supervisors’ supervision competencies with the view to informing improvements to their instructional supervisory skills. 50 EFL female student teachers from CBE participated in the study. Using a case study approach, a combination of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews was used to generate answers to the research questions. The questionnaire findings suggested that student teachers generally have positive attitudes towards their supervisors’ competencies; however, interviews with participants have shed light on various issues that need to be considered. For example, supervisors’ feedback often focuses on participants’ Content Knowledge (CK) rarely addressing their Pedagogical Content knowledge (PCK). In addition, student-teachers stated that their relationships with their supervisors tended to be formal and authoritative, which prevented them from asking questions freely. This article discusses these findings in detail and highlights some practical implications that are likely to help EFL supervisors to enhance their supervisory practices.

The purpose of this study was to investigate Mor Hom natural dye using a qualitative research approach and local knowledge. Relevant primary and secondary data were collected through in-depth interviews with three sets of key informants, including community scholars, natural-dyed Mor Hom clothing businesses, and academics, and a participatory observation procedure involving a total of 15 participants from five local wisdom areas in Phrae province, Thailand. The content analysis revealed that the natural dye Mor Hom is inherited from the progenitors through communion with the inheritors through narrating, remembering, following, trial and error, and testing until completed. In order to determine Mor Hom local knowledge from the respondent’s implicit information, knowledge management technologies are required. In wisdom management, knowledge storage is demonstrated and organised using a method of learning by practise, learning from previous teachings, and studying from successful individuals in natural dyeing, or “best practice”, to generate explicit knowledge. In addition, they were developing a knowledge management guideline for natural dyeing wisdom that the community could use to learn and share information. In addition, the local perception of the district is extremely conservative because Mor Hom represents Phrae when people discuss this region. For the community and all concerned parties, the outcome of this research is a handbook and an electronic book for managing the local knowledge of Mor Hom natural dyes.

Critical friendship is an innovative method used to strengthen an individual’s professional skills, including critical reflection, thinking, and problem-solving abilities in educational settings. Critical friendships can occur through one-on-one relationships or in groups known as critical friendship groups (CFGs). Literature on CFGs examines the benefits of structured CFGs integrated into teacher preparation programs. CFGs that form beyond university walls, like a study abroad context, have not been discussed in the literature even though these experiences can be the catalyst for CFGs. This case study illustrates how a CFG was formed during a study abroad trip to Belize with undergraduate and graduate education students that resulted in five major findings. Implications for both teacher education and study abroad programs are discussed.

Critical friendships can occur through one-on-one relationships or in groups known as critical friendship groups (CFGs). Literature on CFGs examines the benefits of structured CFGs integrated into teacher preparation programs. CFGs that form beyond university walls, like a study abroad context, have not been discussed in the literature even though these experiences can be the catalyst for CFGs.
