''New technologies are advancing at an unprecedentedly accelerating pace over the years. The distance humanity has covered in 2200 years, from the Antikythera mechanism of ancient Greek world, the oldest known analogue computer, to the 4-bit first microprocessor in 1971, is not even comparable to the …

Steeds meer leerlingen groeien op met een andere taal dan het Nederlands. Zij krijgen onderwijs in een taal die niet hun eerste taal is. Op het gebied van toetsing brengt deze situatie uitdagingen met zich mee. Meertalige leerlingen kunnen, bijvoorbeeld in het rekenonderwijs, niet hun volledige potentieel …

The aim of this constructive study was to develop model-based principles to provide guidance to managers and policy makers when making decisions about team size and composition in the context of home healthcare. Six model-based principles were developed based on extensive data analysis and in close interaction …

This paper proposes a novel theory, coined as Topological Tail Dependence Theory, that links the mathematical theory behind Persistent Homology (PH) and the financial stock market theory. This study also proposes a novel algorithm to measure topological stock market changes as well as the incorporation …

In this quasi-experimental study involving 23 fourth grade teachers, we investigated the effect of implementing teacher-child dynamic mathematics interviews to improve mathematics teaching behavior in the classroom. After a baseline period of 13 months, the teachers participated in a professional development …

Scar contractures are a common complication after burn injuries. These contractures are characterized by impairment of joint mobility, leading to a risk for limitations during daily activities, and restrictions in participation in society.

Mathematics teacher educators in primary teacher education need expert knowledge and skills in teaching in primary school, in subject matter and research. Most starting mathematics teacher educators possess only part of this knowledge and skills. A professional development trajectory for this group is …

To reach for abstraction is a major but challenging goal in mathematics education: teachers struggle with finding ways how to foster abstraction in their classes. To shed light on this issue for the case of geometry education, we align theoretical perspectives on embodied learning and abstraction with …

We are currently in the middle of the transformation from Martin Heidegger’s modern society to a society based on digital technology. In the developing digital society, humans in their current state of ‘Being’ are increasingly surrounded by systems that are networked and run based on algorithms, software, …

This study is conducted to further understand the direct and indirect contributions of executive functioning (visuospatial updating, verbal updating, inhibition, shifting) and arithmetic fluency to mathematical problem-solving in 458 fourth-grade students. Arithmetic fluency along with visuospatial and …
