Supplemental instruction, also known as Peer Assisted Study Sessions (SI-PASS), is a well-established form of peer learning that has been implemented in higher education institutions across the globe and that coincides with learning gains for participants. While the effects on learning gains have been …

In het vierjarige project Denker wordt onderzocht hoe conceptueel modelleren effectief kan worden ingezet om bij leerlingen vaardigheid in systeemdenken te ontwikkelen. Tijdens een lesactiviteit van 1-2 lesuren gebruiken leerlingen de software Dynalearn om conceptuele modellen te maken waarbij vakinhoudelijke …

Teacher shortages are a significant concern in many countries. Hiring pre-service teachers could help to alleviate this problem while providing students an opportunity to develop skills in a realwork context. However, being employed alongside full-time studying might compete with attendance or self-study …

De lerarenopleidingen voor het voortgezet onderwijs zijn in Nederland gekoppeld aan een specifiek vakgebied. Met een nieuwe brede pedagogische lerarenopleiding biedt de Hogeschool van Amsterdam een route naar het leraarschap voor mensen die leraar willen worden zonder daarbij aan de start al een specifiek …

A reflective goal-setting intervention could help students adjust to higher education, and improve their performance and well-being, as has been shown by small-scale and quasi-experimental studies conducted so far. However, a large experimental study found no effects, highlighting the importance of replication, …

Circular and elliptical motion are fundamental topics in physics education, yet learners often struggle to grasp them. We investigate how interactive qualitative representations can be used to describe the characteristic behavior of circular and elliptical motion. We use the vocabulary and algorithms …

This paper presents three lesson activities for upper secondary and higher education that focus on learning by constructing an interactive qualitative representation. By constructing the representation learners learn domain knowledge as well as general system thinking skills. The learning goals and the …

This paper presents three qualitative models that were developed for the Stargazing Live! program. This program consists of a mobile planetarium that aims to inspire and motivate learners using real telescope data during the experience. To further consolidate the learning experience three lessons are …

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a form of structured peer guidance attached to a specific course, provided by an experienced and trained student to a group of students. Previous studies show a positive effect of SI on learning outcomes, some found effects on well-being, and sense of belonging. However, …

We present the Stargazing Live! program comprising a planetarium experience and supporting lesson activities for pre-university physics education. The mobile planetarium aims to inspire and motivate learners using real telescope data during the experience. Learners then consolidate their learning by …
