Is the body of information full-grown? Methods to determine sufficiency of cumulative knowledge in meta-analysis. KU Leuven
Meta-analysis has become a popular statistical tool to combine results of individual studies. Nevertheless, traditional meta-analytic applications fail to answer questions pertaining to the sufficiency of cumulative knowledge. Determining the sufficiency of empirical evidence could, however, make a unique and valuable contribution to a research domain. This kind of information could guide researchers to conduct targeted research if the extant ...
Interest and option choice in a developmental perspective. A multilevel multinomial modelling approach. KU Leuven

Social work research in urban areas: models of cooperation. University of Antwerp
8 European projects characterized by cooperation between researchers and social workers have been invited to reflect on the dynamics of their cooperation. The results will be published in the European Journal of social work. The budget will allow us to support the editing.
Component and HICLAS models for the analysis of structural differences in real-valued and binary multivariate multilevel data. KU Leuven
Numerous research questions in educational sciences concern the structure or covariation of a set of binary (i.e., 0/1) or real-valued variables. In educational sciences, one is for instance interested in the covariation of the beliefs, competencies, and expectancies of students. To study the structure of such a set of variables, a group of persons are scored on these variables. However, one may wonder whether the same structure would have been ...
In the footsteps of Jules Verne. KU Leuven
This project frames in science outreach efforts with respect to Earth System Sciences. The project aims at developing and testing the concept of a 'kids Café'. This concept is inspired by the format of a 'Science Café', but transferred to the living environment of 8- to 12-year old kids. For that purpose we use the books of Jules Verne as reference. The main focus of the 'Kids Café' is to stimulate a debate on 'Earthly matters'. This debate will ...
The statistical power of meta-analyses of single-case experiments. KU Leuven
Despite the strong emphasis on large N designs in most statistical and methodological courses and handbooks, single-case designs are gaining popularity. They can provide a viable alternative or supplement to group studies to investigate causal research questions. This could be the case when it is unnecessary to collect data from a large group of subjects (e.g., generating pilot data) or when this is impossible (e.g., studying rare conditions). ...
Research integration and meta-analysis of individualized and large-scale research: methodology and application in research on the treatment of problem behaviour among persons with severe and profound intellectual disabilities. KU Leuven
Methodology of Educational Sciences, Educational Effectiveness and Evaluation, Parenting and Special Education
Historically, qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used relatively separately in synthesizing scientific evidence in many researchdomains. During the last decade, mixed methods approaches are becoming increasingly popular, and practices of combining qualitative and quantitative data and methods at the primary empirical study level have increased considerably in frequency in the educational, health, psychological, and social ...
Research into the effects of learning support in teacher training. University of Antwerp
Research into the effects of learning support in teacher training is scarce. This mixed method research project aims to investigate the effects of learning support on cognitive, metacognitive and non-cognitive output measures. In addition also differential effects of learning support will be investigated and related to pre-entry characteristics.
Desire in Learning and Work. University of Antwerp
This research project aims to enhance the transition of students from secondary to higher education and from higher education to the labour market. Assessing and monitoring learning competencies throughout the school career can be supportive in this regard. By means of mixed method research different instruments to assess and coach individual differences in learning and motivation are developed and validated.
