In het huidige statistiekonderwijs is te weinig aandacht voor het proces voorafgaand aan de dataverzameling en uitvoering van de berekeningen ten behoeve van het beantwoorden van de onderzoeksvragen; het proces van datamanagement. Datamanagement is echter cruciaal voor het garanderen van de kwaliteit van de data en dus de betrouwbaarheid van de onderzoeksbevindingen. Te weinig aandacht voor dit proces vergroot de kansen op fouten in de gegevens, met als gevolg dat onderzoeksvragen niet beantwoord kunnen worden en projectgelden worden verspild. Om in deze kennislacune te voorzien is een procedure ontwikkeld, die gebruikt kan worden om databestanden te structureren en op te bouwen voordat met de feitelijke uitvoering van het onderzoek wordt begonnen. Deze procedure is beschreven het rapport ‘Van vragenlijst tot tabel’. Daarnaast wordt in de rapportage ingegaan op hoe de gegevens in SPSS kunnen worden geanalyseerd en op hoe de output van de analyses eenvoudig in een tabel voor een onderzoeksrapport of artikel kan worden gezet.
When teaching grammar, one of the biggest challenges teachers face is how to make their students achieve conceptual understanding. Some scholars have argued that metaconcepts from theoretical linguistics should be used to pedagogically and conceptually enrich traditional L1 grammar teaching, generating more opportunities for conceptual understanding. However, no empirical evidence exists to support this theoretical position. The current study is the first to explore the role of linguistic metaconcepts in the grammatical reasoning of university students of Dutch Language and Literature. Its goal was to gain a better understanding of the characteristics of students’ grammatical conceptual knowledge and reasoning and to investigate whether students’ reasoning benefits from an intervention that related linguistic metaconcepts to concepts from traditional grammar. Results indicate, among other things, that using explicit linguistic metaconcepts and explicit concepts from traditional grammar is a powerful contributor to the quality of students’ grammatical reasoning. Moreover, the intervention significantly improved students’ use of linguistic metaconcepts.
Practical experience and research reveal generic spoken language benefits after cochlear implantation. However, systematic research on specific language domains and error analyses are required to probe sub-skills. Moreover, the effect of predictive factors on distinct language domains is unknown. In this study, outcomes of 70 school-aged children with cochlear implants were compared with hearing peers. Approximately half of the children with cochlear implants achieved age-adequate language levels. Results did not reveal systematic strong or weak language domains. Error analyses showed difficulties with morphological and syntactic rules and inefficient narrative skills. Children without additional disabilities who received early intervention were raised with one spoken language, and used a second cochlear implant or contralateral hearing aid were more likely to present good language skills.
National forestry Commission (SBB) and National Park De Biesbosch. Subcontractor through NRITNational parks with large flows of visitors have to manage these flows carefully. Methods of data collection and analysis can be of help to support decision making. The case of the Biesbosch National Park is used to find innovative ways to figure flows of yachts, being the most important component of water traffic, and to create a model that allows the estimation of changes in yachting patterns resulting from policy measures. Recent policies oriented at building additional waterways, nature development areas and recreational concentrations in the park to manage the demands of recreation and nature conservation offer a good opportunity to apply this model. With a geographical information system (GIS), data obtained from aerial photographs and satellite images can be analyzed. The method of space syntax is used to determine and visualize characteristics of the network of leisure routes in the park and to evaluate impacts resulting from expected changes in the network that accompany the restructuring of waterways.
Toerisme Vlaanderen is bezig met de ontwikkeling van een meetkader om de nieuwe strategische visie omtrent toerisme te ondersteunen. Hierbij zou de carbon footprint van inkomend toerisme een indicator moeten zijn. Er is op dit moment geen carbon footprint berekening van toerisme in of naar Vlaanderen beschikbaar. Toerisme Vlaanderen beschikt wel over voldoende data over het inkomend toerisme, maar niet over voldoende kennis m.b.t. het berekenen van carbon footprints en heeft daarom het CSTT benaderd. Gelijkenissen met Nederlandse data zijn groot, maar er moet een nieuwe “syntax” moeten worden ontwikkeld, om de data over inkomend toerisme naar carbon footprint gegevens te vertalen en in heldere tabellen om te zetten. Deze tabellen zullen geanalyseerd worden, waarna een rapportage kan worden geschreven. Het gaat hier om een nulmeting die in de toekomst relatief eenvoudig herhaald kan worden.Het eindproduct is een gedetailleerde rapportage over de carbon footprint van inkomend toerisme naar Vlaanderen over 2019.
This project extends the knowledge and scope of carbon footprinting in tourism. Currently, the carbon footprint of holidaymakers is available as time-series based on the CVO (Continue Vakantie Onderzoek) for the years 2002, 2005 and all between 2008 and 2018. For one year, 2009, a report has also been written about inbound tourism. The carbon footprint of business travel has not been determined, whereas there has been considerable interest throughout the years from businesses to assess and mitigate their travel footprints. There is also increasing policy attention for travel footprints. In 2018, a modified setup of the CVO caused the need to revise our statistical model and correction factors to be developed to counter the potential effects of a trend-breach. The project aimed to check and improve the current syntax for Dutch holidaymakers, adjust the one for inbound tourism, and develop a new one for Dutch business travel. The project output includes a report on the carbon footprint of Dutch holidaymakers for 2018, on inbound tourism for 2014, and on Dutch business travel for 2016, based on the CVO, inbound tourim dataset, and CZO. The project ends with a workshop with stakeholders to identify the way forward in tourism carbon footprinting in the Netherlands (tools, applications, etc.)Project partners: NRIT Research, NBTC-NIPO Research, CBS
