Students often struggle with constructing models of system behaviour, particularly in open modelling tasks where there is no single correct answer. The challenge lies in providing effective support that helps students develop high quality models while maintaining their autonomy in the modelling process. …

Stargazing Live! aims to capture the imagination of students with a combination of live and interactive planetarium lessons, real astronomical data, and lessons built around interactive knowledge representations . The lessons were created using a co-creation model and tackle concepts in the pre-university …

Dit lesmateriaal is ontwikkeld in het kader van het BioClock-Consortium, een interdisciplinair onderzoeksproject waarin de wisselwerking tussen de biologische klok van mensen, planten en dieren en de wereld om ons heen centraal staat. In deze les leren leerlingen over het circadiane ritme door het maken …

We developed a lesson where students construct a qualitative representation to learn how clock genes are regulated. Qualitative representations provide a non-numerical description of system behavior, focusing on causal relation-ships and system states. They align with human reasoning about system dy-namics …

To help students reach their full potential, additional challenges beyond the standard curriculum may be necessary for some. In Dutch secondary vocational education, education for talented students is organized in two prevalent ways: through participation in honors programs that foster community building …

In this workshop we present three lesson activities to teach core (astro)physics concepts at pre-university level which students find difficult to grasp with traditional interventions: star properties, star states and the fusion-gravity balance. In each activity, students construct and simulate a conceptual …

Learning by creating qualitative representations is a valuable approach to learning. However, modelling is challenging for students, especially in secondary education. Support is needed to make this approach effective. To address this issue, we explore automated support provided to students while they …

In this paper, we focus on how the qualitative vocabulary of Dynalearn, which is used for describing dynamic systems, corresponds to the mathematical equations used in quantitative modeling. Then, we demonstrate the translation of a qualitative model into a quantitative model, using the example of an …

In dit onderzoek wordt er onderzocht wat de inclusiebeleving is van studenten binnen de faculteit Social Work & Toegepaste Psychologie. Hogescholen in Nederland worden steeds diverser en zo ook de Hogeschool Leiden. Het onderzoeksteam Studiesucces wil weten wat de inclusiebeleving onder de studenten …
