In Nederland is er niet alleen een lerarentekort, er is ook een tekort aan masteropgeleide leraren. In de LO misschien nog wel meer dan bij andere vakken. Maar waarom zou je als leraar LO een master gaan doen, je hebt toch al een eerstegraadsbevoegdheid? |

Background: Main goal of the SPEACHProject is to increase awareness andbehavioural change regarding HEPAin sport professionals and Europeancitizens. To achieve this, HEPA relatededucational modules are beingdeveloped based on the wishes andneeds of current and future physicaleducation (PE) teachers and sportcoaches. This developmental processis based on a multi-step needs analysisincluding data from seven Europeancountries. Results from the needsanalysis are presented. Methods: A three-step strategy wasconducted: 1) data was collected onthe knowledge, interest and attitudesof future sport coach and physicaleducators, the students, in relation toHEPA via a digital survey; 2) input oncurrent organisational perspectives,as to the integration of HEPA relatedmodules into existing educationalstructures, was collected throughinterviews with representatives ofkey national organisations fromthe sport coaching and/or PEsector; 3) input was collected viaa focus group with key experts. Results: A total of 660 studentswere included and the following HEPA themes were deemed most important and relevant: changing behaviour; personal leadership; physical activity for special target groups; health policy; testing &prescription; nutrition. Students stated that the optimal curriculum should focus on: practice oriented learning; training-, group- and classroombased learning; internship; involving/reflective learning. Importantly, both content areas and learning methods must be defined in accordance with the knowledge, skills and competences students need to build.Discussion: Opportunities should be given to develop professional communication skills and pedagogic competences enabling students to support and coach various target groups to acquire an active and healthy lifestyle. A strong recommendation from the focusgroup meeting was that the developed modules should be flexible and differentiated from master to vocational level. Implications: The SPEACH/HEPAmodules should be thematic and integrated in nature meaning that several content themes need to be included. Regarding the didactics, a mixed method should be promoted including forms like: training, internship, group- and classroom based teaching. Finally, the modules should be flexible and offer differentiated levels so they can be implemented at vocational,bachelor as well as master level.

Since 2000, all Dutch Universities of Professional Education are confronted with three major renewals. The first was the European agreement to implement the Bachelor-Master system in Higher Education. The second was the strong tendence to renew eduction towards Competence Based Education. The third renewal came from the decision of the ministery of Education to contract lectures (lectoren) and research networks (kenniskringen) to improve research competences among students. Basic idea behind the latest renewal was that if students from Universities of Professional Education bring in more knowledge in companies, during and after their study, this will stimulate the innovative power of Dutch small and medium enterprices (SME’s). Educational developers have been very bussy with these renewals. Under the cloak of national assurance guidelines and external panels of inspection many educational developers automatically tended to use the instrumental paradigm for many design contexts. In accordance with the research of Gustafson (1993) and Richey (1993) we raised questions about the relevance of the instrumental paradigm for educational design contexts, because often the means-end thinking of the instrumental approach have seemed to be out of place. This research project by Lappia, De Boer & Van Rennes took place in 2006 at INHOLLAND university of professional education in the western part of The Netherlands with four pilots at School of Technology, Social Work, Education and Economics. The researchers started from the assumption that improving competence-based internships could not been based on an instrumental paradigma, because of the lack of absolute standards and the need to support deliberation among stakeholders. The Design Science Approach of Van Aken (2004) and Andriessen (2004) was been used to reveal field-tested and grounded technological rules as design specifications for improvement tools. Beside that the research project used the communicative paradigm (Visscher-Voerman & Gustafson, 2004) to reach consensus among the practitioners, who accompanion students during their internships in organisations in order to achieve a growth of competences in the choosen working field. Participants in the research project were employees of the School of Education, The School of Technology and the School of Economics, the department of Education, Quality, Research and development (OKR). Conditions for participating in the project were that the Schools recognized the problems with implementing Competence Based Internship and the School had to set the employees whe participated in the project free for half a day during the project. The Schools as stakeholders in the project were primary interested in solution of their practical problem (practical stream). The department of Education, Quality, Research and development was interested in solution of the pratical problem for dissemination reasons, but would also learn new strategies for implementation (knowledge stream). Therefore was choosen to follow the Design Science Research Approach.

De Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN) en de hogeschool Saxion hebben beide de ambitie om met onderwijs en praktijkgericht onderzoek bij te dragen aan de energietransitie in Oost-Nederland. Saxion heeft dit geformuleerd in haar zwaartepunt Smart Energy Transition, de HAN in haar zwaartepunt Sustainable Energy & Environment (SEE). Bij beide hoge-scholen zijn meerdere lectoraten met verschillende expertises actief op dit thema. In het kader van het SIA SPRONG-programma willen HAN en Saxion hun ambities bundelen tot een krachtige onderzoeks-groep 'Decentrale Waterstof'. Vanuit het technische perspectief van systeemintegratie wil de groep decentrale waterstof-oplossingen engineeren, met oog voor meer dan techniek. In acht jaar tijd willen we met bedrijven en kennisinstellingen in de regio Oost-Nederland doorgroeien naar een sterke onderzoeksgroep met voldoende kritische massa om ook in Europa te worden gezien. Met bereikbaar onderzoek, hoogstaand onderwijs en cursussen op bachelor- en master-niveau, shared facilities, living labs, en (inter)nationale projecten voegen we waarde toe aan het onderwijs, de bedrijven en de energie-transitie. Dit borgen we in een Knowledge Base met meetdata, resultaten van experimenten, modellen, lesmateriaal en publicaties. Vanuit deze Knowledge Base zijn ook andere SPRONG-groepen te ondersteunen op bijvoorbeeld hun logistieke modellen of digital twins van de energietransitie. Zoals geformuleerd in de Kennis Innovatie Agenda Energietransitie & Duurzaamheid sluit duurzame waterstof aan bij de maatschappelijke behoefte rondom de energietransitie en bij een groeiende groep technologiebedrijven in de regio. Het decentrale karakter sluit aan bij mobiliteit, bij lokale warmtebehoeftes en bij de energie infrastructuur van Oost-Nederland, waar we het spel van vraag, aanbod en opslag van duurzame energie slim leren spelen in wijk, mobiliteit en buitengebied. De onderzoeksgroep krijgt ruime support uit de regio en sluit aan bij lopende regionale initiatieven, zoals Connectr Energy innovation, H2Hub Twente, GROHW, en bij de Centres of Expertise SEECE en ACE.
