Full text via link. In September 2015, a four year project on the working alliance with mandated clients started. The project was facilitated by a RAAK-PRO grant of the Dutch Organisation of Scientific Research (NWO) and carried out by researchers of the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht. The project has been set up throughout several areas of the forensic social field: probation, labor reintegration, debt counseling, social care and youth services. The idea came as a response to the ambivalent feelings professionals in mandated contexts express regarding the combination of controlling and coaching tasks they need to employ. They sometimes struggle with ‘hybrid working’ in one-to-one supervision with clients. Professionals claim they need theory-based knowledge on how to build a working alliance with mandated clients on which they can build their daily practice.

Within the next decade, the number of professional- and family carers will be insufficient to deal with the increasing demand for care. The shortage on the labor market for health care professionals becomes evident by the time the demand for care exceeds the supply1. In order to find solutions to make the supply of care services sufficient and fitting to the demand for care, researchers, professionals, and business administrations, all in the domain of health care, work together with SMEs in the iKOP project.

Projectvoorstel RAAK-publiek Vanaf 1 januari 2015 wordt de Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning (WMO) gedecentraliseerd van het rijk naar gemeenten, waardoor gemeenten verantwoordelijk worden voor ouderen die met begeleiding nog zelfstandig kunnen wonen. De rijksoverheid vindt ook dat de zelfredzaamheid van alle burgers groter moet worden, en ziet hierbij een belangrijke rol weggelegd voor (informatie- en communicatie-) technologie (ICT).

The main aim of this study was to determine the agreement in classification between the modified KörperKoordinations Test für Kinder (KTK3+) and the Athletic Skills Track (AST) for measuring fundamental movement skill levels (FMS) in 6- to 12-year old children. 3,107 Dutch children (of which 1,625 are girls) between 6 and 12 years of age (9.1 ± 1.8 years) were tested with the KTK3+ and the AST. The KTK3+ consists of three items from the KTK and the Faber hand-eye coordination test. Raw scores from each subtest were transformed into percentile scores based on all the data of each grade. The AST is an obstacle course consisting of 5 (grades 3 till 5, 6–9 years) or 7 (grades 6 till 8, 9–12 years) concatenated FMS that should be performed as quickly as possible. The outcome measure is the time needed to complete the track. A significant bivariate Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.51 was found between the percentile sum score of the KTK3+ and the time to complete the AST, indicating that both tests measure a similar construct to some extent. Based on their scores, children were classified into one of five categories: <5, 5–15, 16–85, 86–95 or >95%. Cross tabs revealed an agreement of 58.8% with a Kappa value of 0.15 between both tests. Less than 1% of the children were classified more than two categories higher or lower. The moderate correlation between the KTK3+ and the AST and the low classification agreement into five categories of FMS stress the importance to further investigate the test choice and the measurement properties (i.e., validity and reliability) of both tools. PE teachers needs to be aware of the context in which the test will be conducted, know which construct of motor competence they want to measure and know what the purpose of testing is (e.g., screening or monitoring). Based on these considerations, the most appropriate assessment tool can be chosen.

Uit het rapport: "Hogescholen verrichten praktijkgericht onderzoek. Dit onderzoek is gericht op het verhogen van de kwaliteit van de hbo-afgestudeerden, op het responsief houden van het onderwijs én op het innoveren van de beroepspraktijk. Hogescholen worden dan ook al geruime tijd betrokken bij het nationaal en regionaal beleid dat zich richt op de maatschappelijke waardecreatie vanuit kennis ofwel valorisatie. Zo zijn zij sinds het ontstaan actief betrokken bij het Valorisatieprogramma (2010) en wordt in het Hoofdlijnenakkoord (2011) gesproken over het ontwikkelen van een eigen set valorisatieindicatoren voor hogescholen. De brief ‘Wetenschap met Impact’ van staatssecretaris Dekker van 19 januari 2017 richt zich echter voornamelijk op de universiteiten. Dit is mede aanleiding voor de Vereniging Hogescholen om een eigen visie te ontwikkelen op de maatschappelijke waardecreatie vanuit kennis in het hbo en hier uitwerking aan te geven. Daarvoor is een Ad hoc commissie opgericht bestaande uit bestuurders en lectoren. In dit rapport presenteren zij hun visie en de uitwerking daarvan."

A Magnet-related program has been recently adopted in the Netherlands. Support for staff nurses from nurse middle managers (NMMs) is a key component of such a program. A Bourdieusian ethnographic organizational case study in four hospitals in the Netherlands and the United States (Magnet, Magnet-related and non-Magnet) was conducted to explore NMMs’ supporting role behavior. Bourdieus concepts of habitus, dispositions, field and capital guided the analysis. Eight dispositions constitute NMMs habitus. A caring, clinical and scientific disposition enhance NMMs’ capital in particular organizations-as-fields. Further research is necessary to link Magnet (related) program characteristics to various configurations of dispositions of NMMs habitus.
