Vergelijkende Europese studie in opdracht van Kees van Aken, toenmalig directeur van de opleiding Social Work i.o. van de Hogeschool Zuyd, naar welke verschillende varianten er mogelijk zijn als er gesproken wordt over een Internationale Bachelor Social Work - Maastricht. Op welke manieren zijn er in Europa reeds internationale bachelors zijn ontwikkeld. Het onderzoek moet een overzicht van enkele blauwdrukken van een Internationale Bachelor Social Work opleveren, om mede op basis daarvan een keuze te maken voor een (eventueel meerdere) voor Hogeschool Zuyd wenselijke variant(en) daarvan in Maastricht. Er is vergelijkend Europees onderzoek gedaan naar de verschillende filosofieën en organisatievormen van curricula International Social Work zoals die op verschillende Hogescholen en Universiteiten in Europa functioneren. Met name zijn “good practice” ervaringen onderzocht en met elkaar vergeleken, om op basis daarvan een aantal varianten helder te krijgen voor de opdrachtgever.

Er is een toenemende vraag naar masteropgeleide docenten, ook bij LO. Docenten die kunnen inspelen op de veranderende samenleving en daaruit volgende uitdagingen voor het vak. Fontys Sporthogeschool start daarom in september 2018 de eerste voltijd-master die zich specifiek bezighoudt met LO. Dit artikel geeft een inkijk in de totstandkoming en de inhoud van de eerste Nederlandse voltijd-master voor het werkveld van de lichamelijke opvoeding: de master Sport- en Bewegingsonderwijs.

Alle hbo-opleidingen besteden tegenwoordig aandacht aan onderzoek. Nu er ook steeds meer initiatieven komen voor masteropleidingen met relevantie voor de LO, is het in het kader van dit topic Onderzoek interessant om eens te bekijken hoe bacheloronderzoek zich nu onderscheidt van masteronderzoek.

Een van die nieuwe ontwikkelingen van de Sport- en Beweegsector naar aanleiding van de veranderende maatschappij om ons heen is de start van de Master of Sports. Het is een feit dat de docent LO zijn grenzen namelijk steeds meer buiten de gymzaal verlegd. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn het functioneren als combinatie functionaris of leefstijladviseur, het organiseren van naschoolse sport en het participeren in stimulerings- en beweegprogramma's. Deze verbreding van het vak vereist professionalisering van het beroep. Onder professionalisering wordt onder andere verstaan het kunnen onderbouwen van keuzes. Bijvoorbeeld: wáárom wordt een bepaald beweegprogramma aangeboden, wanneer bepaal je of een programma effectief is en kun je dit meten? Kortom: wat is de maatschappelijke fundering van ons handelen? Het gaat verder dan 'gewoon doen wat je altijd doet en maar hopen dat het werkt'. Mogelijke antwoorden op deze vragen worden aangereikt tijdens de Master of Sports. Meer inhoudelijke en praktische informatie over de opleiding, evenals reacties van docenten en studenten kunt u terugvinden in dit themanummer 'Master of Sports. Professionalisering van de sport- en beweegsector'.

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? |

This conceptual paper describes the role of research in bachelor programs at Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) . It presents a model for the integration of research activities into student assignments. The model makes it possible to distinguish between different levels of research. The model can be helpful in designing research education for professional bachelor students and developing practice-based assignments to assess research competences.

This article aims to explore the moral ideas and experiences that students at Dutch universities of applied sciences (UAS) have of being a professional with an ‘ethical compass.’Semi-structured interviews were held with 36 fourth-year Bachelor students divided over four institutions and three different programmes: Initial Teacher Educa- tion, Business Services and Information and Communication Technology. Findings show that students say they strive to be(come) moral professionals, but that they have difficulties recognising and articulating the moral aspects of their professional roles. They seem to lack a moral vocabulary and the moral knowledge to verbalise their aspirations and to provide arguments to explicate or legitimise their moral behaviour. While most students were critical of the support they received from their universities, they indicated that various other role models and (work) experiences did have a strong and positive influence on their moral development. In this article, we reflect on the findings in relation to international empirical research on students’ moral development and highlight the characteristics of UAS students.

The main research question in this chapter was: Which information problem solving skills are, according to the lecturers in the Bachelor of ICT, important for their students? Selecting items from a results list and judging the information on actuality, relevance and reliability were regarded as extremely important by most of the interviewed lecturers. All these sub-skills refer to the third criterion of the scoring rubric, the quality of the primary sources. As mentioned before, one of the NSE lecturers holds the opinion that students should improve their behaviour exactly on this point. Another sub-skill that is seen as very important by the interviewees is the analysis of information to be applied in the student’s own knowledge product. This refers to the fifth criterion of the rubric, the creation of new knowledge. The quality of primary sources and the creation of new knowledge criteria both bear extra weights in the grading process with the scoring rubric. A third criterion which also bears extra weight (‘orientation on the topic’) was mentioned as an important subskill by some interviewees but not as explicitly as the other two criterions. One of the facets of information problem solving that need improvement, according to one of the lecturers, is the reflection on the whole process to stimulate the anchoring of this mode of working. In the concept of information problem solving are higher order skills (orientation and question formulation, judging information and creation of new knowledge) distinguished from lower order skills (reference list, in-text citations, the selection of keywords and databases). Considering all results of this research, one can conclude that the importance of the higher order IPS skills – which refer to ‘learning to think’ (Elshout, 1990) – is recognised by most of the interviewed lecturers. The lower order skills are considered less important by most of them.

Individuals with autism increasingly enroll in universities, but little is known about predictors for their success. This study developed predictive models for the academic success of autistic bachelor students (N=101) in comparison to students with other health conditions (N=2465) and students with no health conditions (N=25,077). We applied propensity score weighting to balance outcomes. The research showed that autistic students’ academic success was predictable, and these predictions were more accurate than predictions of their peers’ success. For first-year success, study choice issues were the most important predictors (parallel program and application timing). Issues with participation in pre-education (missingness of grades in pre-educational records) and delays at the beginning of autistic students’ studies (reflected in age) were the most influential predictors for the second-year success and delays in the second and final year of their bachelor’s program. In addition, academic performance (average grades) was the strongest predictor for degree completion in 3 years. These insights can enable universities to develop tailored support for autistic students. Using early warning signals from administrative data, institutions can lower dropout risk and increase degree completion for autistic students.

This article discusses the importance of fully integrating research activities into the Bachelor level programs (undergraduate programs) in orthopaedic engineering / prosthetics and orthotics. To work according to evidence based principles and acquire the competences to do so it is necessary for students to engage in research activities from within the educational programme as soon as possible. Involvement in research not only creates more insight in what research means and what the effects are, but also generates a number of cross links with the stakeholders involved in P&O education (see fig 1) which were not apparent before for the student. Also, the interaction with orthopaedic companies is stimulated in a broader context than is traditionally the case. A structure enhancing the interaction of educational institution, companies, research groups and institutions is presented which operates at the intersection of these stakeholders. A whole new world is therefore coming into range which will generate all kinds of new and unexplored opportunities.
