De 48e editie van de Onderwijs Research Dagen (ORD) werd onder toezicht van de Vereniging voor Onderwijs Research (VOR) afgelopen jaar op 13, 14 en 15 juni in Nijmegen georganiseerd door de Radboud Universiteit, het Radboud UMC en de Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen. Gedurende drie dagen kwamen onderzoekers, onderwijskundigen en beleidsmakers bijeen om kennis uit te wisselen met als centraal thema Ondersteboven van onderwijs. Er waren ruim 240 bijdragen, variërend van paperpresentaties en symposia tot rondetafelgesprekken en posterpresentaties. Nieuw dit jaar was een veertiental presentaties in alternatieve vorm waarin vooral een (inter-)actieve inbreng van bezoekers werd gevraagd. De congresbijdragen waren ingedeeld in 10 thema’s, parallel aan de VOR-divisies, zoals Beleid & Organisatie, Hoger Onderwijs en Leren & Instructie. Op de website van de VOR (https://www.vorsite.nl/nl/content/divisies) staat een overzicht van alle divisies.

This overview can be regarded as an atlas or travel guide with which the reader can follow a route along the various professorships. Chapter 2 centres on the professorships that are active in the field of Service Economy. Chapter 3 is dedicated to the professorships that are focussed on the field of Vital Region. Chapter 4 describes the professorships operating in the field of Smart Sustainable Industries. Chapter 5 deals with the professorships that are active in the field of the institution-wide themes of Design Based Education and Design Based Research. Lastly, in Chapter 6 we make an attempt to discover one or more connecting themes or procedures in the approach of the various professorships. This publication is not intended to give a definitive answer to the question as to what exactly NHL Stenden means by the concept of Design Based Research. The aim of this publication is to get an idea of everything that is happening in the NHL Stenden professorships and to pique one’s curiosity to find out more.

In the course of our supervisory work over the years, we have noticed that qualitative research tends to evoke a lot of questions and worries, so-called frequently asked questions (FAQs). This series of four articles intends to provide novice researchers with practical guidance for conducting high-quality qualitative research in primary care. By ‘novice’ we mean Master’s students and junior researchers, as well as experienced quantitative researchers who are engaging in qualitative research for the first time. This series addresses their questions and provides researchers, readers, reviewers and editors with references to criteria and tools for judging the quality of qualitative research papers. This second article addresses FAQs about context, research questions and designs. Qualitative research takes into account the natural contexts in which individuals or groups function to provide an in-depth understanding of real-world problems. The research questions are generally broad and open to unexpected findings. The choice of a qualitative design primarily depends on the nature of the research problem, the research question(s) and the scientific knowledge one seeks. Ethnography, phenomenology and grounded theory are considered to represent the ‘big three’ qualitative approaches. Theory guides the researcher through the research process by providing a ‘lens’ to look at the phenomenon under study. Since qualitative researchers and the participants of their studies interact in a social process, researchers influence the research process. The first article described the key features of qualitative research, the third article will focus on sampling, data collection and analysis, while the last article focuses on trustworthiness and publishing.
