*Yıldırım, Erdal ( Aksaray, Yazar ) ; In this study, it is aimed to determine the opinions and practices of the teacher candidates educated on Classroom Education, academicians working in the Department of Classroom Education, and primary school teachers on the controversial subjects in the teaching-learning process. The research is patterned from qualitative research approaches through a case study. The study carried out in the spring semester of the 2018-2019 academic year included 29 students studying in the third grade of the Faculty of Education at three different public universities, 15 classroom teachers working at schools affiliated to the Ministry of Education, and 5 Ph.D. academicians within classroom education In the study, the data were collected by semi-structured interview forms, and the obtained data were analyzed by the thematic presentation of certain codes and categories. When the findings of the research are examined, it is seen that the information, culture (respect, conflict), and environment codes related to the importance of the culture of discussion are frequently expressed. The findings are remarkable in that the acquisition of necessary and sufficient knowledge related to the discussion culture encourages individuals to conduct the discussion process with different individuals or platforms in a healthy way. The style used in the efficiency of the discussion process, the acceptance of different ideas with respect and the ability to listen effectively are vital. The findings that positive school and classroom climate, which expresses the existence of suitable environments where controversial issues can be discussed, contributes to the development of respect based attitudes and behaviors among individuals, are also very important. Academics and teachers are responsible for creating ideal discussion environments. Moreover, the formation of positive thoughts on controversial issues should not be overlooked to encourage the expression of scientific, fair, and democratic ideas. Both academics and teachers should be a model for their students by ensuring correct communication with students. Participants in the teaching of controversial issues have some concerns and worries caused by pressure. Legal arrangements can be made to eliminate these situations.

AbstractWhy do some people evaluate state supreme courts as more legitimate than others? Conventional academic wisdom suggests that people evaluate courts in nonpartisan ways, and that people make a distinction between how they evaluate individual court decisions and how they evaluate the court's legitimacy more broadly. We challenge this idea by arguing that people's partisan identities have a strong influence on how people evaluate the impartiality of courts, just as they do other aspects of the political world. Using original survey experiments, validated by existing observational survey data, we show that people perceive state supreme courts as being more impartial when courts issue decisions that match the ideological preferences of their preferred political party, while court decisions at odds with their party's policy goals diminish people's belief that courts are impartial arbiters of the law. We also show that the effects of citizen perceptions of impartiality erode evaluations of state court legitimacy, which makes them want to limit the independence of judicial institutions.

In South Africa, the economic, social, and political institutions designed to provide for the basic needs and fundamental rights of all citizens in society are failing to address the escalating socioeconomic problems for large segments of the population. Studies suggest that the provision of entrepreneurship education strengthens the entrepreneurial capacity of students to launch new ventures, which has economic implications in society (Mars, Slaughter, & Rhoades, 2008). Although much progress has been made, the authors argue that social entrepreneurship (SE) is not adequately taught in South African schools, and that this could be partially addressed by introducing SE education into the curriculum for preservice educators. In this regard, teaching and learning activities should be directed towards enhancing preservice teachers? sense of SE theory, and practical knowledge to inculcate an awareness of how SE can help deal with social injustices. Using a distinct case study that explicates teaching and learning through the use of film and online discussion groups, the authors show how spaces can be created to facilitate deliberative pedagogical engagement. The authors conclude that SE education offers valuable opportunities for dialogical (deliberative) pedagogical engagement, and should be considered as a constitutive element of higher education.
