Dit magazine, gevuld door leden van het Inholland Consortium NPO, belicht het essentiële thema van studentenwelzijn en binding. Door de lens van actuele projecten zoals de Studentenwelzijnsmonitor en de SaP-radar (voor de inzet van Students as Partners) tot initiatieven voor inclusieve Studentsucces Centra, biedt dit magazine een diepgaande kijk op hoe we het welzijn en de binding van onze studenten kunnen versterken. Het benadrukt het belang van een gemeenschap waarin elke student zich gewaardeerd, gehoord en onder- steund voelt.

Het SaP-initiatief (Student as Partners) bij Inholland beoogt de relatie tussen studenten en docenten te versterken door partnerschap te stimuleren in het onderwijsproces. Dit houdt in dat studenten actief betrokken worden bij curriculumontwikkeling en andere onderwijs gerelateerde besluitvorming. Dit project heeft een methode en diverse instrumenten ontwikkeld, zoals de SaP-radar, om de dialoog te bevorderen en verbeteringen in het onderwijs aan te moedigen. Door middel van workshops zijn waardevolle inzichten verkregen, zoals het belang van gelijkwaardigheid, flexibiliteit, en open dialoog tussen studenten en docenten. De SaP-radar methode heeft ook onverwachte aspecten blootgelegd, zoals de discrepantie tussen verbale en non-verbale communicatie en de uitdagingen rond machtsbalans en afhankelijkheid. Het project benadrukt de noodzaak van continue evaluatie, feedback, en training om effectief partnerschap te bereiken.

An on-going investigation in the learning effects of IPD projects. In three subsequent semesters the students were asked how they rated their competencies at the start of the project as well as at the end of it. Also questionnaires were filled out and students were interviewed. A lot of students tended to give themselves lower ratings in the end than in the begin. It appeared that if they met any difficulties in for instance communication or co-operation during the project, that they interpreted this as a decrease in competencies. Finally the students were explicitly asked to mention an eventual increase in competencies and also a possible contribution for this effect. Only a few factors that actually contribute to the learning effects have been defined.

Students and lecturers share educational experiences, each in their role: Students as part of their learning context and lecturers as part of their work environment. But how much of their experiences are similar? A questionnaire was developed to provide insight into the experiences of research integration of undergraduate students (N = 2336) and lecturers (N = 379). For measurements, the Research Attitudes in Vocational Education Questionnaire (RAVE-Q), and Experience in Research Integration scale were applied to the student survey design. For lecturers, all items of the student surveys were rephrased into items related to lecturers’ perceptions of their students’ attitudes and experiences. The findings show that students and lecturers share perceptions about the role of research in their related vocational field and about research integration. However, important cognitive and affective differences were found between students and lecturers regarding research practice. Implications for further research and educational design will be discussed.

Wereldwijd voeren studenten sinds de 20e eeuw in toenemende mate gestructureerde onderwijstaken uit bij hogeronderwijsinstellingen. Deze Inleiding beschrijft wat hierover uit onderzoek bekend is op basis van literatuuroverzichten en een recente overzichtsstudie die in het kader van het StuKO-project werd uitgevoerd. Uit deze overzichtsstudie kwam naar voren dat het inzetten van studenten in het hoger onderwijs van grote meerwaarde kan zijn voor de deelnemende studenten en de onderwijsorganisatie. Een belangrijke voorwaarde voor succes is een goede voorbereiding van studenten op en een heldere afbakening van de onderwijstaken die ze uitvoeren. Deze studie biedt bovendien succesfactoren die we aan de hand van voorbeelden uit dit inspiratieboek en specifieke studies illustreren.

Congresbezoek is een manier om (vak-)kennis en vaardigheden te actualiseren en te netwerken. We weten nog weinig over verschillen in hoe junioren en senioren zich professionaliseren door congresbezoek. Dit onderzoek biedt inzicht in leerdoelen en –ervaringen van de verschillende leden van een onderzoeksteam bij hun bezoek aan de OnderwijsResearchDagen (ORD) 2018 (N = 9). Voor en na het congresbezoek zijn participanten geïnterviewd, waarna op basis van thematische coderingop groepsniveau thema’s naar voren kwamen. De resultaten laten zien dat junioren vooral nieuwe kennis op willen doen en de praktijk van een congres willen leren kennen. Senioren willen vooral kennis bijhouden en melden uiteenlopende leerervaringen. Dergelijk inzicht kan congresorganisatoren helpen hun evenement te laten aansluiten bij verschillende professionaliseringsbehoeften.

Background: The dynamics of maternal and newborn care challenge midwifery education programs to keep up-to-date. To prepare for their professional role in a changing world, role models are important agents for student learning. Objective: To explore the ways in which Dutch and Icelandic midwifery students identify role models in contemporary midwifery education. Methods: We conducted a descriptive, qualitative study between August 2017 and October 2018. In the Netherlands, 27 students participated in four focus groups and a further eight in individual interviews. In Iceland, five students participated in one focus group and a further four in individual interviews. All students had clinical experience in primary care and hospital. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Results: During their education, midwifery students identify people with attitudes and behaviors they appreciate. Students assimilate these attitudes and behaviors into a role model that represents their ‘ideal midwife’, who they can aspire to during their education. Positive role models portrayed woman-centered care, while students identified that negative role models displayed behaviors not fitting with good care. Students emphasized that they learnt not only by doing, they found storytelling and observing important aspects of role modelling. Students acknowledged the impact of positive midwifery role models on their trust in physiological childbirth and future style of practice. Conclusion: Role models contribute to the development of students’ skills, attitudes, behaviors, identity as midwife and trust in physiological childbirth. More explicit and critical attention to how and what students learn from role models can enrich the education program.

The focus of the thesis is an exploration into students’ vocational knowledge in the context of Dutch vocational education and training (VET). The reason students’ vocational knowledge requires exploration is because there is no consensus among scholars in the field of VET about how to theorise the nature of students’ vocational knowledge; most (not all) scholars rely on dichotomous conceptualisations, such as theory versus practice, general versus specific or explicit versus implicit. However, such commonly used dichotomies are not very helpful to understand the complex nature of vocational knowledge. Vocational knowledge is more than putting bits of theoretical and practical knowledge together, it is characterised by sometimes-intimate relationships between knowledge and actions. As a result of the above-mentioned gap in the VET literature, there is little empirical research on how VET students develop vocational knowledge and the extent to which this is occupation-specific knowledge. To understand students’ vocational knowledge, four different aims are formulated and carried out in four studies. The aim of the first study is to identify powerful vocational learning environments to enable the selection of a case that represents high quality vocational learning and teaching. With an eye on analysing students’ vocational knowledge, the second study aims to conceptualise the nature of vocational knowledge that avoids dichotomies. Therefore, two conceptual frameworks are integrated; the idea of contextualising is introduced which is based on cultural-historical theory to highlight the crucial role activity plays in knowledge development and to understand the relationships between the mind (i.e., what people think (and feel)), and action (i.e., what people do). Secondly, the theory is supplemented with ideas from inferentialism, a philosophical semantic theory of meaning to provide a useful way to focus on students’ processes of knowing and to reveal students’ vocational knowledge in terms of ongoing reasoning processes. The third study uses the conceptualisation of vocational knowledge to explore how students develop vocational knowledge in occupational practice, and to illustrate the process of contextualising. The forth study aims to describe what characterises students’ vocational knowledge using an analytic framework that distinguishes between occupation-specific knowledge components and qualities. This thesis contributes to research scholarship in the field of VET and an understanding of students’ vocational knowledge in practice. The theoretical framework of contextualising supplemented with inferentialism provides an alternative way to focus on students’ processes of knowing and helps to reveal students’ vocational knowledge in terms of reasoning processes. The empirical explorations and illustrations of students’ vocational knowledge contribute to the scholarly literature and practice on understanding the nature of vocational knowledge, how students develop vocational knowledge and what characterises their vocational knowledge. The intention to introduce the idea of contextualising is not about reinventing the wheel but rather an attempt to understand how it turns and how it functions. The intention of this thesis is to encourage dialogue and move the debate about the nature of vocational knowledge further, and hence, to provide some “food for thought”.
