Is a more selective exit exam related to shadow education use? An analysis of two cohorts of final-year secondary school students in the Netherlands
The prevalence of private supplementary tutoring (i.e. shadow education) is growing, particularly in nations with selective school exams. The hypothesis that tutoring attendance rises as pressure to perform increases has not yet been tested. Therefore, our research question is: does the likelihood of attending shadow education increase with an increase in educational system selectivity (in this case: stricter requirements to graduate)? Our study …
Improving the quality of mathematical discussions
Guiding small groups working on mathematical tasks is challenging for teachers. In this study, we investigated whether using a tool that helps teachers scaffold small student groups during mathematical discussions (the SGS Tool) leads to more and qualitatively better mathematical discussions. The participants were eight teachers and 272 seventh-grade students drawn from two schools. Five teachers used the tool (SGS condition), while three did not…
Scaffolding small groups at the group level
Background: Supporting students during collaborative learning in mathematics is challenging for teachers. We developed the Small-Group Scaffolding Tool (SGS-Tool) to assist teachers regarding how and when to offer support. The tool is based on three characteristics of scaffolding small groups at the group level: contingency to the group, phasing out content support when the group can continue independently, and transferring responsibility for lea…
Mechanisms of adopting and reformulating comprehensive sexuality education policy in Ethiopia
Over the past few years, international organisations have advanced Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) as a global policy to promote sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and address gender-based violence in schools. This paper analyses policy adoption, transfer mechanisms, and reformulation of CSE in Ethiopia, a late adopter of the policy. To do this, we identify education policy transfer mechanisms and apply a gender analysis by …
Discussing culture and gender-based violence in comprehensive sexuality education in Ethiopia
Induction of beginning teachers in urban environments
A Life Jacket or an Art of Living
After a period in which the emphasis in education was on “the basics,” increasing attention has been paid at the turn of the century to the “moral task of education” in the Netherlands. Schools are not only expected to prepare students for further education and/or the labour market but also for participating in society in the broadest sense, for example, in politics, care, and culture. In this article we will focus on one aspect of students’ deve…
Feminist research and educational policy
This article considers the potential contribution to equal educational opportunities policy of recent insights from feminist theory and research inspired by postmodernism. First, a general outline of this contribution is presented by means of a discussion of three twin concepts, which recent debates in feminist theory have centred on: socialization and construction, equality and difference, and diversity and generality. Second, three recent targe…
