In het artikel staat beschreven hoe binnen de opleiding Applied Science van Fontys Hogeschool Toegepaste Natuurwetenschappen in Eindhoven een Overall Toets ontwikkeld is die aansluit bij het competentiegerichte leren. In deze toets staat een casus over een actuele beroepssituatie centraal waarbij de vakgebieden chemie, biologie en technologie in de propedeuse geïntegreerd competentiegericht getoetst worden. De samenstellers laten zien hoe deze toets er uit ziet en geven aan wat de ervaringen er mee zijn.
The After-Action Review (AAR) in Virtual Reality (VR) training for police provides new opportunities to enhance learning. We investigated whether perspectives (bird’s eye & police officer, bird’s eye & suspect, bird’s eye) and line of fire displayed in the AAR impacted the officers’ learning efficacy. A 3 x 2 ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of AAR perspectives. Post hoc pairwise comparisons showed that using a bird’s eye view in combination with the suspect perspective elicits significantly greater learning efficacy compared to using a bird’s eye view alone. Using the line of fire feature did not influence learning efficacy. Our findings show that the use of the suspect perspective during the AAR in VR training can support the learning efficacy of police officers.Practitioner summary: VR systems possess After-Action Review tools that provide objective performance feedback. This study found that reviewing a VR police training scenario from the bird’s eye view in combination with the suspect perspective enhanced police officers’ learning efficacy. Designing and applying the After-Action Review effectively can improve learning efficacy in VR.
In de beleidsmatige en wetenschappelijke zoektocht naar effectieve handhavingsstrategieën wordt in toenemende mate gekeken welke strategie het beste aansluit bij de motivaties en mogelijkheden van ondertoezichtstaanden. Inzicht en begrip in wat burgers, bedrijven en instellingen motiveert om regels wel of niet na te leven is hierbij cruciaal. Tegelijkertijd worden motivaties tot op heden voornamelijk als statische begrippen onderzocht. In dit onderzoek zijn wij juist geïnteresseerd in de ontwikkeling en verandering van motivaties. Welke motivaties spelen wanneer een rol, hoe verhouden zij zich tot elkaar en onder invloed van welke factoren veranderen ze? In De diversiteit van het willen wordt verkend wat de bijdrage kan zijn van Goal Framing Theory (GFT) in het beantwoorden van deze vragen. Aan de hand van diepgaande gesprekken met ondernemers worden ontwikkelingen en veranderingen in de constellatie van motivaties gereconstrueerd en brengen wij in kaart welke contextuele factoren motivaties beïnvloeden. De resultaten ondersteunen toepassing van GFT in naleefsituaties: de theorie helpt de geobserveerde dynamiek van motivaties te verklaren, evenals de effecten van externe invloeden zoals de interactie met inspecteurs.
Every year the police are confronted with an ever increasing number of complex cases involving missing persons. About 100 people are reported missing every year in the Netherlands, of which, an unknown number become victims of crime, and presumed buried in clandestine graves. Similarly, according to NWVA, several dead animals are also often buried illegally in clandestine graves in farm lands, which may result in the spread of diseases that have significant consequences to other animals and humans in general. Forensic investigators from both the national police (NP) and NWVA are often confronted with a dilemma: speed versus carefulness and precision. However, the current forensic investigation process of identifying and localizing clandestine graves are often labor intensive, time consuming and employ classical techniques, such as walking sticks and dogs (Police), which are not effective. Therefore, there is an urgent request from the forensic investigators to develop a new method to detect and localize clandestine graves quickly, efficiently and effectively. In this project, together with practitioners, knowledge institutes, SMEs and Field labs, practical research will be carried out to devise a new forensic investigation process to identify clandestine graves using an autonomous Crime Scene Investigative (CSI) drone. The new work process will exploit the newly adopted EU-wide drone regulation that relaxes a number of previously imposed flight restrictions. Moreover, it will effectively optimize the available drone and perception technologies in order to achieve the desired functionality, performance and operational safety in detecting/localizing clandestine graves autonomously. The proposed method will be demonstrated and validated in practical operational environments. This project will also make a demonstrable contribution to the renewal of higher professional education. The police and NVWA will be equipped with operating procedures, legislative knowledge, skills and technological expertise needed to effectively and efficiently performed their forensic investigations.
