De lerarenopleiding speelt een belangrijke rol bij de voorbereiding van leraren in opleiding op het gebruik van technologie voor onderwijzen en leren. Uit de literatuur blijkt echter dat lerarenopleiders vaak moeite hebben om een doeltreffende ICT-integratie te modelleren. De bereidheid om ICT in het onderwijs te gebruiken heeft betrekking op het verwerven van kennis, vaardigheden en attitudes over het gebruik van technologie voor onderwijzen en leren. Wanneer deze bereidheid tot uiting komt in het feitelijke gebruik van technologie in de klas, en het vermogen om op dit gebruik te reflecteren, past dit in de conceptualisering van 'didactische ICT-competentie'. Een curriculumherziening op vijf locaties van de Lerarenopleiding Basisonderwijs (Pabo) van Hogeschool Inholland in Nederland vormde de aanleiding voor deze studie. Het doel van dit onderzoek is het meten van de perceptie van leraren in opleiding van de strategieën die lerarenopleiders gebruiken om de ontwikkeling van effectief gebruik van informatie- en communicatietechnologie (ICT) in de klas te ondersteunen. Het Synthesis of Qualitative Data (SQD) model definieert zes kernstrategieën voor de ondersteuning van leerkrachten in opleiding om ICT in het onderwijs te gebruiken, namelijk (1) rolmodellering; (2) reflectie over de rol van technologie;(3) leren van technologie door (her)ontwerpen van lessen; (4) samenwerken met collega's; (5) authentieke Teaching, Learning & Technology en (6) voortdurende feedback. De centrale vraag van dit onderzoek luidt: Hoe percipiëren leraren in opleiding van vijf lerarenopleidingen deze strategieën die lerarenopleiders gebruiken om de ontwikkeling van hun didactische ICT-competenties te ondersteunen? Er werd gebruik gemaakt van een mixed-methods onderzoeksopzet. De SQD-vragenlijst met 24 items (zespunts Likert-schaal) werd vertaald naar het Nederlands en uitgebreid met zes open vragen, die verdere uitwijding bij elk van de kernstrategieën mogelijk maakten. Vijf locaties van de Lerarenopleiding Basisonderwijs (Pabo) van Hogeschool Inholland in Nederland waren erbij betrokken. De strategieën "authentieke technologie-ervaring" en "rolmodellering door de lerarenopleider" worden het meest herkend. Het geven van voortdurende feedback was de minst erkende strategie omdat feedback vooral als summatief werd ervaren. De meerderheid van de lerarenopleiders werd niet herkend als rolmodel voor ICT-integratie. Lerarenopleiders in digitale geletterdheid echter wel. Hoewel de stages een ruimte bieden om te oefenen, worden de zittende leerkrachten niet erkend als inspirerende voorbeelden van ICT-integratie. Als leerkrachten in opleiding te weinig rolmodellen zien die vakspecifieke ICT-integratie tonen, ontwikkelen zij zelf geen doeltreffende ICT-integratie. Verder onderzoek zou zich moeten richten op de vraag hoe het aantal erkende strategieën kan verhoogd worden, te beginnen met het "geven van continue feedback".

The shortage for ICT personal in the EU is large and expected to increase. The aim of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of the roles and competences needed, so that education curricula can be better aligned to evolving market demand by answering the research question: Which competence gaps do we need to bridge in order to meet the future need for sufficiently qualified personnel in the EU Software sector? In this research, a mixed method approach was executed in twelve European countries, to map the current and future needs for competences in the EU. The analyses shows changes in demand regarding technical skills, e.g. low-code and a stronger focus on soft skills like communication and critical thinking. Besides this, the research showed educational institutes would do well to develop their curricula in a practical way by integration of real live cases and work together with organizations.

Using path analysis, the present study focuses on the development of a model describing the impact of four judgments of self-perceived academic competence on higher education students' achievement goals, learning approach, and academic performance. Results demonstrate that academic self-efficacy, self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, academic self-concept, and perceived level of understanding are conceptually and empirically distinct self-appraisals of academic competence which have a different impact on student motivation, learning, and academic performance. Furthermore, the current study suggests that students reflecting high scores on the four measures of self-perceived competence, are more persistent, more likely to adopt mastery and/or performance approach goals, less anxious, process the learning material at a deeper level, and achieve better study results. However, this study also warns that high self-perceived competence (e.g., perceived level of understanding), if not accompanied by a mastery goal orientation, can turn into overconfidence resulting in lower persistence levels and poorer study results.

Students in Higher Music Education (HME) are not facilitated to develop both their artistic and academic musical competences. Conservatoires (professional education, or ‘HBO’) traditionally foster the development of musical craftsmanship, while university musicology departments (academic education, or ‘WO’) promote broader perspectives on music’s place in society. All the while, music professionals are increasingly required to combine musical and scholarly knowledge. Indeed, musicianship is more than performance, and musicology more than reflection—a robust musical practice requires people who are versed in both domains. It’s time our education mirrors this blended profession. This proposal entails collaborative projects between a conservatory and a university in two cities where musical performance and musicology equally thrive: Amsterdam (Conservatory and University of Amsterdam) and Utrecht (HKU Utrechts Conservatorium and Utrecht University). Each project will pilot a joint program of study, combining existing modules with newly developed ones. The feasibility of joint degrees will be explored: a combined bachelor’s degree in Amsterdam; and a combined master’s degree in Utrecht. The full innovation process will be translated to a transferable infrastructural model. For 125 students it will fuse praxis-based musical knowledge and skills, practice-led research and academic training. Beyond this, the partners will also use the Comenius funds as a springboard for collaboration between the two cities to enrich their respective BA and MA programs. In the end, the programme will diversify the educational possibilities for students of music in the Netherlands, and thereby increase their professional opportunities in today’s job market.
Societal changes force hospitals to improve their patient journeys. And although hospitals and hotels do differ on quite some aspects, there are also a lot of similarities. Moreover, hotels are known for doing their utmost to please their guests and to focus on their guest experiences. Therefore, hospitals are looking at what they can learn form the hotel industry. The Antoniushove is anxious to retain its high quality and where possible to improve it. That is why, together with the Hotelschool, they want to investigate where the patient journey can be improved. Medical students are ‘critical thinkers’ as they are educated in an academic and evidence based environment. Hotelschool students are generally seen as having excellent ‘soft skills’ like creativity and problem solving skills. Critical thinking and soft skills are both seen as important 21st century skills. This research is a first exploration of where there are possibilities for improvement on patient journeys. Couples existing of one medical student and one hotelschool student will form a team and follow breast and colorectal patients during their hospital visit. This combination of students has never occurred before in such a research. It will allow students from both backgrounds to look at the patient journey though the eyes of the other and to learn form each other’s competences. Main research methods to be applied will be shadowing, guided tours and interviews, all of course with informed consent. Medical staff from the Antoniushove and research experts form the hotelschool will supervise the research. This research is a preliminary research for a bigger research and should result in grant proposal for the follow-up research.
