We present GarpN, a software tool designed to integrate qualitative and quantitative modelling. GarpN has three functionalities: translating a qualitative representation into a quantitative model, running numerical simulations and detecting quantitative states, and matching these states to their qualitative …

This paper describes the development of a systemsbased reference model to support teachers in learning about collaborative learning among teachers. By representing collaborative dynamics into a formal model, the project offers a tangible means to support sustained, collective professional growth. The …

We developed a lesson where students construct a qualitative representation to learn how clock genes are regulated. The lesson, designed for upper secondary and higher education, is implemented in the DynaLearn software (level 4), which allows for modelling feedback loops. Students construct the representation …

Leercultuur is een beleidsinstrument om de vanzelfsprekendheid van leren te vergroten in organisaties. Dit moet leiden tot meer initiatief van individuele werknemers en werkgevers om te gaan leren en zich te ontwikkelen. Gebaseerd op sociaalwetenschappelijk onderzoek komen instrumenten om leercultuur …

Technologie ondersteunt mensen bij (werk)taken. Nieuwe technologie, in het bijzonder kunstmatige intelligentie (AI), kan zoveel werktaken overnemen dat menselijke arbeid onder druk lijkt te komen. Helaas is veel technologie hard werken voor mensen om werkend en bruikbaar te maken, en is er veel discussie …

Student goals play a crucial role in both practice and theory in higher education, particularly for understanding and enhancing student motivation. However, on a conceptual level, goals are studied through separate and isolated frameworks, which complicates the ability of practitioners and researchers …
