  • Students’ Decision-Making Processes for Participating in Honours Programmes in the Netherlands

    Open AccessAnouk Wouters, Malou Stoffels et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2026

    Research suggests that students from “non-traditional” backgrounds (e.g., based on first-generation higher education status) are less likely to enrol in higher education programmes than their traditional counterparts. We explored students’ decision-making processes for participating in honours programmes and the factors contributing to this. We analysed data from semi-structured interviews with 28 students who were either enrolled in an honours p…

    Open AccessJoram Pach, Frederique A Demeijer et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2026

    Many disciplines within social sciences and humanities (SSH) lack a direct connection between academic programs and specific professions, potentially complicating professional identity formation (PIF). Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 18 Dutch graduates, this study adopts a social constructivist perspective to explore how sociology graduates’ PIF emerged during the transition from university students to early-career employment outside a…

  • Medical students' experiences in providing medical care to older patients

    Open AccessEmma J Draper, Anne de la Croix et al.ARTICLEMedical Education2026

    INTRODUCTION: With an ageing population, future doctors must be prepared to care for older patients facing complex and often chronic needs. Despite curricular efforts, medical students often report less positive attitudes towards providing this care-shaped not only by knowledge gaps but also by cultural norms and the hidden curriculum. Little is known about how students themselves reflect on their clinical encounters with older patients. This stu…

  • Teachers’ attitudes towards equity, diversity, and inclusion in higher education

    Open AccessSiema Ramdas, Anouk Wouters et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    Positive teacher attitudes do not necessarily lead to educational change. • Higher-ranked academics show less open EDI attitudes than lower-ranked academics. • Training and/or exposure can affect teacher attitudes towards EDI positively. • Teacher attitude towards EDI has three dimensions: openness/comfort/willingness. • EDI research on teacher attitude lacks an intersectional approach. Higher education institutions worldwide have formulated Equi…

  • Mentorship in health professions education – an Amee guide for mentors and mentees

    Subha Ramani, Rashmi A Kusurkar et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2024

    This AMEE guide discusses theoretical principles and practical strategies for health professions educators to promote impactful mentoring relationships.

  • The purpose, adaptability, confidence, and engrossment model

    Open AccessAdam G Gavarkovs, Adam Gavarkovs et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2023

    Trainees often decide to pursue a career in the professions because they see it as a means to attain their life goals: to become the kind of person they want to be, to live the kind of life they want to lead, and to make the kind of impact they want to have on the world. The life goals trainees pursue through a professional career are derived from their conception of their ideal self and are thus the most important and self-defining goals that th…

  • Optimizing Health Professions Education through a Better Understanding of “School-Supported Clinical Learning”

    Open AccessMalou Stoffels, Saskia M Peerdeman et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2023

    Interventions connecting school and clinical practice can align requirements and enhance learning outcomes. Current models and theories of clinical learning leave gaps in our knowledge about how learning processes and outcomes can be optimized by schools. In this paper, we discuss findings about threats and opportunities in the use of school standards, tools, and support in clinical learning, including underlying mechanisms, in the context of nur…
