The role of teaching courses and teacher communities in strengthening the identity and agency of teachers at university medical centres
Career guidance and student success in Dutch higher vocational education
To enhance student success, a growing number of vocational education and training institutions in the Netherlands are nowadays implementing new career guidance practices in their competence-based approaches to learning. Based on individuallevel data of undergraduate first-year full-time students from a Dutch university of applied sciences, this study investigated the influence of career guidance on first-year student success given other known inf…
Promoting teacher scaffolding in small-group work
Scaffolding in Teacher–Student Interaction
Although scaffolding is an important and frequently studied concept, much discussion exists with regard to its conceptualizations, appearances, and effectiveness. Departing from the last decade’s scaffolding literature, this review scrutinizes these three areas of scaffolding. First, contingency, fading, and transfer of responsibility are discerned in this review as the three key characteristics of scaffolding. Second, an overview is presented of…
Using a Pants Alarm for the Treatment of Day Wetting
A treatment of day wetting was evaluated in four normally capable children (ages 4:9, 4:10. 6:3, and 10:1 years). The treatment combined the use of a pants alarm with rewards (praise and tokens) for urinating in the toilet. The treatment was effective for one child only. The others showed many instances of noncompliance (not wearing the alarm, wearing the alarm with loose contacts or with the contacts on places where they could not detect urine).…
Presence and place of main ideas and examples in study texts
Background: How indispensable are examples and main ideas in study texts? In research into comprehension of expository texts examples are sometimes considered as cognitive support, sometimes as seductive details. According to the cognitivist view, text comprehension is based on main ideas, whereas the constructivist view holds that examples are the basis of understanding. Aims: This study explored how text comprehension is influenced by main idea…
Psychological Testing in a Multicultural Society
This paper deals with the issue of whether standardised psychological tests, in particular intelligence tests, are suitable for assessing ethnic minorities in a multicultural society. Three different levels of analysis are applied to address this question: the socio-political, the ethical and the test-theoretical level. The socio-political level of analysis highlights the obstacles ethnic minorities encounter when attempting to settle in a new so…
Understanding abstract expository texts
Background: This study dealt with the question whether abstract concepts and rules can be directly taught or can only be explained by using examples. The issue, known as Meno's Paradox, was addressed in the context of understanding expository texts. Aims: We set out to show the indispensability of examples in the process of acquiring knowledge of concepts and rules. By blocking any possibility of linking concepts to examples we hoped to show the …
Students’ and teachers’ cognitions about good teachers
Background. Good teachers have been studied ever since Plato described how Socrates taught by asking questions of his audience. Recent findings shed light on two characteristics of good teachers: their personality and their ability. However, more attention has been paid to teachers’ practices and opinions than to students’ views. Aims. The study reported here attempted to deepen our understanding of what students think about good teachers. Sample…
