Innovation is crucial for higher education to ensure high-quality curricula that address the changing needs of students, labor markets, and society as a whole. Substantial amounts of resources and enthusiasm are devoted to innovations, but often they do not yield the desired changes. This may be due to unworkable goals, too much complexity, and a lack of resources to institutionalize the innovation. In many cases, innovations end up being less sustainable than expected or hoped for. In the long term, the disappointing revenues of innovations hamper the ability of higher education to remain future proof. Against the background of this need to increase the success of educational innovations, our colleague Klaartje van Genugten has explored the literature on innovations to reveal mechanisms that contribute to the sustainability of innovations. Her findings are synthesized in this report. They are particularly meaningful for directors of education programs, curriculum committees, educational consultants, and policy makers, who are generally in charge of defining the scope and set up of innovations. Her report offers a comprehensive view and provides food for thought on how we can strive for future-proof and sustainable innovations. I therefore recommend reading this report.

Over the past decade, the maker movement and in its slipstream maker education have attained worldwide popularity among educators, politicians, and the media. Makers’ enthusiasm for creative design and construction, using old and new tools has proven contagious, and is worth exploration and critical reflection by the community of engineering and technology education (ETE). This chapter describes what has been said about “making” by philosophers and educators; what maker education is, and what is new and not so new about it; why it has gained momentum; what the evidence is about its effectiveness and its possible weaknesses; and how mainstream technology education may benefit from maker education. This chapter concludes with ideas for a research agenda.

In 2020 hebben drie docentonderzoekers (Irene de Kleyn, Mariska Dinkelman en Marleen IJzerman) vanuit het lectoraat Meertaligheid en Onderwijs een inventarisatieonderzoek opgezet en uitgevoerd onder een representatieve afvaardiging van lerarenopleiders en studenten van de internationale varianten van de lerarenopleidingen Duits, Engels, Frans en Spaans van Instituut Archimedes (IA) die zijn gebundeld onder “Teacher Education” (TeacherEd). Het onderzoek had als doel inzicht te krijgen in de rol/plek van meertaligheid als leermiddel, leerdoel en context in de verschillende curricula van de TeacherEd.

In 1986, English became a compulsory subject in primary education in The Netherlands1. While secondary schools have, by law, been required to offer English since 1863 the articulation between Dutch primary and secondary education levels of English language teaching has always been problematic to the point it has been referred to as a connection problem. The term ‘articulation between levels’ has been used frequently to refer to the connection between parts of the language education system, such as between primary and secondary education and between secondary and tertiary education. In particular the group of Richard Lambert at the National Foreign language centre in Washington have promoted research on articulation between levels. This study focusses on the connection between primary and secondary education and the possibility to improve the articulation between these levels with regard to the English teaching in The Netherlands.

Wanneer je met je lessen specifieke leerdoelen hebt, zoals tactisch inzicht, regelvaardigheden, of samenwerking, dan hoort daar ook een specifieke aanpak bij. De laatste jaren zijn er in de LO, met name in het buitenland, verschillende modellen ontwikkeld die je hierbij kunnen helpen. Deze aanpak wordt ook wel 'Models-Based Physical Education genoemd”.

The Ecocentric and Anthropocentric Attitudes toward the Sustainable Development (EAATSD) scale measures environmental concern in relation to sustainable development. This article will discuss how this scale was tested with three groups of Dutch higher education students. Findings demonstrate that anthropocentric and ecocentric values are independent of the students’ chosen course of study, suggesting that students attracted by the ‘sustainable development’ course title do not necessarily associate ‘sustainability’ with ecocentric aims. This article discusses why ecocentric values are beneficial to the objective of a sustainable society and proposes ways forward in which these values can be enhanced in learners. https://doi.org/10.3390/educsci7030069 https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

Makersonderwijs – leren door te maken – lijkt “hot” te zijn. In de Verenigde Staten heeft maker education de aandacht en zegen van president Obama weten te verkrijgen. Ook in Nederland heeft de petitie “Leren door te maken” makersonderwijs in de politieke schijnwerpers gezet. Dit onderzoek gaat in op de vragen wat makersonderwijs is, hoe makersonderwijs toegepast wordt en waarom makersonderwijs interessant en belangrijk is.
