To benefit from the social capabilities of a robot math tutor, instead of being distracted by them, a novel approach is needed where the math task and the robot's social behaviors are better intertwined. We present concrete design specifications of how children can practice math via a personal conversation …

Density histograms can bridge the gap between histograms and continuous probability distributions, but research on how to learn and teach them is scarce. In this paper, we explore the learning of density histograms with the research question: How can a sequence of tasks designed from an embodied instrumentation …

Sexual interest in children is an important factor contributing to sexual (re)offending against children. The current state of research makes it difficult to conclude if people with pedophilia are overly interested in children, or have lower interest in adults, or both. This is relevant knowledge in …

To improve people’s lives, human-computer interaction researchers are increasingly designing technological solutions based on behavior change theory, such as social comparison theory (SCT). However, how researchers operationalize such a theory as a design remains largely unclear. One way to clarify this …

Design education has a nuanced relationship with examples. Although they are considered useful teaching tools, their use is often restricted to illustrating the design theories and principles around which the curriculum is structured. In contrast, professional designers view examples as autonomous entities …

ackground and aim – Driven by new technologies and societal challenges, future proof facility managers must enable sustainable housing by combining bricks and bytes into future-proof business support and workplace concepts. The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) acknowledges the urgency of …

Differentiates between clinical reasoning for diagnosis, etiology, prognosis, and for interventions. Includes basic knowledge about clinical reasoning and more in-depth knowledge, illustrated with videos. Helps to understand and to critical appraise the common research designs in healthcare scientific …

Floating photovoltaics (FPV) is emerging as a promising renewable energy technology which enables the production of electricity on surface waters. While this technology could potentially make an important contribution to the energy transition, the current uncertainty about the water quality effects of …

Objectives  In order to recognise and facilitate the development of excellent medical doctors (physicians and residents), it is important to first identify the characteristics of excellence. Failure to recognising excellence causes loss of talent, loss of role models and it lowers work ethos. This causes …

The project for the former industrial HaCas-Verschuren site in Tilburg is a case study of a biobased transformation, which will turn a polluted environment into a paradise for living. The organic regeneration of the site requires a long-time span, which is also used for a long-term strategy to grow natural …
