Onderzoek naar de start- en voorbereidingsfase van de pilot Bewonersgestuurde Wijkontwikkeling in Amsterdam-West. De pilot heeft tot doel wijkontwikkeling van onderop te laten ontstaan. Dit betekent dat bewoners zelf sturend zullen zijn op het organiseren van benodigde diensten. Doel van dit tussenrapport is te leren van de achterliggende periode. Daarnaast worden er aanbevelingen gedaan met oog op de voortgang van de pilot in West, Noord en Nieuw West.
There is a central dilemma embedded in the relationship between teachers and researchers. Teachers know the story of the classroom well, but they are seldom asked to tell their stories, nor do they usually have the opportunity. Researchers, on the other hand, are skilled at telling certain things about classrooms, but they often miss the central stories that are there. This divergence can lead to different opinions on what teaching is about and what is important within it. To bridge this gap, we describe an approach which puts the teacher and the student at the centre. With respect to emotional and behavioural problems of students, we underline the notion of student-teacher compatibility, deriving from theories emphasizing the transactional/reciprocal nature of human behaviour. One of the aims of the Lectorship and Knowledge Network Behavioural Problems in School Practice, is to identify at-risk-teachers (i.e. those most vulnerable to the presence of behaviourally challenging students and parents) so that interventions, both in initial teacher training as well as in inservice training can be applied to help them develop adequate attitudes and coping-skills. In clinical supervision, peer coaching or reflective practice, these teachers can be helped to consider in what way student and parental problem behaviour contribute to their loss of satisfaction, their feelings of self doubt, perceived disruption of the teaching process, and their frustration working with parents.
http://cts.som.surrey.ac.uk/publication/lets-say-goodbye-the-moralising-practices-of-gap-year-organisations-in-the-netherlands/wppa_open/Responding to the growing appeal of the gap year amongst young people, thehigher education sector, governmental institutions and, perhaps foremost, the tourismindustry are increasingly starting to realise the potential of promoting tourism as an arenawith moral status and codes, influencing society and individual lives in ‘new’, different andpowerful ways. Due to this burgeoning global and identifiable gap year industry, the networkof public and private organisations, support services, practices and beliefs has becomeincreasingly open to scrutiny. This paper aims to contribute to a new research agendaexploring the broader cultural influence of the gap year industry in the Netherlands through adiscourse analysis of online resources targeting young people. In particular, the paperexplores the moralising practices of gap year organisations involved in promoting,negotiating and regulating new moral values and meanings of, and through, tourism. Thepaper concludes with a critical impression of how these organisations claim to offer a moredistinctive way of reflection, and thereby contribute to negative and narrowed views on masstourism and, in all likelihood, a distorted sense of global citizenship amongst young people.
