The Sport Empowers Disabled Youth 2 (SEDY2) project encourages inclusion and equal opportunities in sport for youth with a disability by raising their sports and exercise participation in inclusive settings. This SEDY2 Inclusive (Online) Focus Group Guidance aimed to develop an easy-to-use guidance document on how to deliver inclusive focus groups to attain the authentic views, wishes and feelings of children and youth with a disability about inclusion in sport in practice. This guidance document was produced in order to support other practitioners in conducting inclusive focus groups. The focus group guidance can easily be adapted to cover other topics and can also be used effectively with all (young) people.
In their postgraduate educational programs, residents are immersed in a complex workplace. To improve the quality of the training program, it is necessary to gain insight into the factors that influence the process of learning in the workplace. An exploratory study was carried out among 56 nursing home physicians in training (NHPT) and 62 supervisors. They participated in semi-structured group interviews, in which they discussed four questions regarding workplace learning. Qualitative analysis of the data was performed to establish a framework of factors that influence workplace learning, within which framework comparisons between groups could be made. A framework consisting of 56 factors was identified. These were grouped into 10 categories, which in turn were grouped into four domains: the working environment, educational factors in the workplace, NHPT characteristics and supervisor characteristics. Of the factors that influence workplace learning, social integration was cited most often. Supervisors more often reported educational factors and NHPTs more frequently reported impediments. Conclusion: The educational relationship may be improved when supervisors explicitly discuss the learning process and learning conditions within the workplace, thereby focusing on the NHPT needs. Special attention should be paid to the aspects of social integration. A good start could be to answer the question regarding how to establish a basic feeling of 'knowing where you are' and 'how to go about things' to make residents feel comfortable enough to focus on the learning process.
In ‘Het Leren van de Toekomst 4’ werd opnieuw geëxperimenteerd met versnelde onderwijsvernieuwing met innovatieve inzet van ict ten behoeve van de versterking van de innovatiekracht van Fontys lerarenopleiding Sittard. Innovatiekracht is de mate waarin onderwijsprofessionals in staat zijn structureel te innoveren met ict om het onderwijs te verbeteren. In het voor dit project ontwikkelde model voor innovatiekracht worden drie fasen onderscheiden: ideegeneratie, ideepromotie en ideerealisatie. Bij ideegeneratie spelen drie factoren in samenhang een rol: ‘willen’ innoveren (motivatie), ‘kunnen’ innoveren (de vakinhoudelijke, didactische en ict-competetie van docenten), en ‘mogen’ innoveren (leiderschap en ondersteuning door de organisatie). De drie factoren zijn belangrijk op zowel het niveau van de individuele docent als het team. Bij ideepromotie worden dezelfde niveaus onderscheiden. Een maat voor de innovatiekracht is het aantal gerealiseerde en duurzaam geïmplementeerde innovatieve ict-toepassingen in een gegeven tijdsperiode.
