  • The Dips model

    Open AccessJosien Boetje, Zindzi de Graaf et al.ARTICLEComputers & Education2026

    In the digital age, academic success increasingly depends on information problem solving (IPS) competence: the ability to find, evaluate, process, and synthesize information into knowledge products. However, generative AI (genAI) transforms how higher education students engage with digital information, challenging models developed for web-based IPS, such as the IPS using Internet (IPS-I) model. Therefore, an empirically grounded model for AI-assi…

  • The Retreat to Positionality Statements

    Open AccessAnne S Helsdingen, René van Hezewijk et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology2026

    The growing emphasis on “positionality” in academic research—where authors disclose personal characteristics thought to influence their work—has sparked significant debate. In this article, we critically examine the concept of positionality, tracing its assumptions, implications, philosophical roots, and potential pitfalls, particularly in psychology. We conclude that positionality statements lack theoretical support, may reinforce biases, and ri…

    Open AccessMarlies ter Beek, Iwan G J H Wopereis et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2022

People working in these areas need digital human capital, which is often acquired through education prior to starting a job. As a result, higher education systems around the globe face increasing demands to prepare thei…

  • Reflection

    Open AccessInge C M Van Seggelen-Damen, Inge C M Van Seggelen – Damen et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology2017

    Reflection is a fuzzy concept. In this article we reveal the paradoxes involved in studying the nature of reflection. Whereas some scholars emphasize its discursive nature, we go further and underline its resemblance to the self-biased dialogue Socrates had with the slave in Plato’s Meno. The individual and internal nature of the reflection process creates difficulty for studying it validly and reliably. We focus on methodological issues and use …
