Sanne Boer nieuwe Master Onderwijskunde (MEd)

Sanne Boer heeft vandaag op succesvolle wijze haar scriptie voor de Master Onderwijskunde (MEd) verdedigd. De titel van de scriptie luidt: ‘Bewegend leren in het basisonderwijs’. Meer precies gaat het in het onderzoek over de relatie tussen bewegen en het automatiseren van de tafels van vermenigvuldiging in de groepen 5 en 6 van een basisschool. Het onderzoek is opgezet als een veldexperiment, en dat alleen al verdient een compliment. Er is een treatment geïntroduceerd die 4 weken dagelijks is uitgevoerd. De onderzoeksgroep omvat 67 leerlingen. Het afstudeerproject is afgesloten met een onderzoek naar de veranderbereidheid van de leerkrachten. Hoewel de resultaten van het onderzoek niet allemaal naar tevredenheid waren, is het onderzoek op heel goede wijze uitgevoerd. Proficiat Sanne, en veel plezier en succes met deze Master-titel, en welkom bij het Alumninetwerk Onderwijskunde. Dank Joachim Wetterling voor de begeleiding.

Saima Bantvawala new Master of Education

Saima Bantvawala successfully defended her thesis Master of Education. Her study was about the relationships between Self-Regulated Learning, Technology Self-Efficacy and Study Success in an Online Learning Environment. Based on validated questionnaires from other research, she collected data within 4 study programs in higher education. A total of 95 students participated in the study. Hypotheses were formulated, data was processed with Anova-analyses and Linear and logistic regression analysis, but the results did not confirm all hypotheses.

Tineke Rombout new Master of Education

Yesterday, Tineke Rombout succesfully defended her Master of Education thesis. The theme of the thesis was Effective feedback. It is known that various forms of feedback can have significant effects on learning processes. But can teachers in elementary education provide effective feedback, especially if they are in the beginning of their career? Providing high-quality feedback is a complex teaching skill. This thesis shows these complexities, and calls for continuous professional development for teachers to develop this skill. Congratulations Tineke, and thank you Dr Joachim Wetterling for your role as supervisor of this thesis. Continue reading Tineke Rombout new Master of Education

Corona Coping Competence – online meeting on March 22, 2021, 19:00 – 20:00 CET

A month or so ago, I posted a message on this website that the LinkedIn Group Competence Studies had grown over 100 members, and that I therefore was going to hold a meeting via Teams.

The theme of the meeting will be ‘Corona Coping Competence.’ With the outbreak of highly contagious COVID-mutants, this theme seems to be even more relevant than I thought it would be; Corona virus generations with their many mutants may disrupt our societies even further and longer than we had hoped for.
