Formative Assessment in Computer-Supported Inquiry Learning in Secondary STEM Education Ghent University

Tammy Schellens
Department of Educational Studies
Studies show a decline in youths’ academic performance and interest in STEM subjects. Computersupported inquiry-based learning can address this. While students need guidance during inquiry, the role of peers as a source of support is currently understudied. This research project explores under which conditions peer assessment, as a specific source of support, produces the best learning outcomes.

Investigating the role of the teacher in technology-enhanced collaborative learning settings for supporting complex skills KU Leuven

Annelies Raes
Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences

While both industrial companies and researchers in our field are developing increasingly powerful teaching robots and intelligent tutoring systems, there is limited understanding about how this technology can effectively be implemented in education and how this will affect the teacher’s role. My research program will focus on how teachers can effectively use and interact with educational technology to support complex skills in a Computer- ...

Competence-development of students: The use of technology enhanced collaborative learning and automated feedback as academic interventions to increase success rates for first-generation first year students at university. Hasselt University

Katrien STRUYVEN
UHasselt Research on Innovative and Society-engaged Education
Previous research focused on identifying variables that contribute positively or negatively to students' academic success. This type of research showed that students' social background influences the chances of academic success. Students with a low SES or firstgeneration first-year students have a higher chance of leaving higher education without a diploma and score lower on average. The variable social background is difficult to influence, but ...

Energy-aware Collaborative Intelligence for the IoT Edge. University of Antwerp

Jeroen Famaey
Internet Data Lab (IDLab)
Edge computing has emerged as a novel computing paradigm for the Internet of Things. Compared with the well-known cloud computing, edge computing migrates data computation or storage to the network ''edge,'' near the end users. This approach offers several advantages; it (1) reduces end-to-end latency, (2) reduces congestion and bandwidth consumption in the core network, (3) improves local load balancing capabilities and scalability, and (4) ...

The impact of self and peer assessment in wiki-based CSCL-environments on students' self regulated learning and learning outcomes Ghent University

Bram De Wever
Department of Educational Studies

The aim of this project is studying the impact and added value of self and peer assessment in wiki-based computer-supported collaborative learning environments. Within higher and secondary setting, the impact on students' self regulated learning and performance will be studied, together with the differential impact of the amount, type, and quality of the feedback within the peer assessment conditions.

Synergistic scaffolding in technology-enhanced STEM learning. How can technology help to balance between autonomy and guidance during scientific inquiry? Ghent University

Tammy Schellens
Department of Educational Studies

This project focuses on how Computer-Supported Collaborative Inquiry should be brought into the educational practice of Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM) and how support should be designed to serve a diversity of students regarding the obtainment of deep knowledge construction, problem solving skills and motivation in science. Literature stresses that supporting multiple students in a ...

Evidence Based Simulation Education and Lifelong Learning through ICT 2.0 HOGENT

Nico De Witte
360° Zorg en Welzijn, HOGENT
Simulation-based learning is pushed forward in healthcare as a way to (further) professionalize and (lifelong) develop. It concerns a learning and feedback method in which real actions are carried out in a simulated - but real-feeling - environment. Through this form of work, it focuses on the five core competencies within non-technical skills: environmental awareness, communication, teamwork, leadership and decision-making. In addition, ...

EdHub & AI: Implementation of AI in Primary and Secondary Education. Both for Classroom Practices and Learning Analytics HOWEST

Basiel Bonne, Rina Dauwens
Researchgroup Applied Informatics, Researchgroup Secondary School
This research explores two interconnected paths related to Artificial Intelligence (AI): interpreting results to provide better/individual guidance for students and investigating which AI applications could be beneficial for education. In the first path, the possibilities of AI are examined to guide students and teachers through a learning dashboard (Naviskore), aiding in interpreting results, identifying outstanding academic achievements, and ...

Analysing fish behavior with machine learning for automatic welfare assessment KU Leuven

Tomas Norton
Animal and Human Health Engineering (A2H)

M3-BIORES is currently doing exciting research on computational ethology, focusing on the real-time monitoring of animal behaviours using sensors and state-of-the-art real-time algorithms. We want to understand better the animals mental state, health and welfare, and translate this knowledge in innovative ICT technologies to support farmers, zoo keepers and sports professionals. We develop novel sensor-based ...

Theoretical and methodological advances in studying higher education students’ socially shared metacognitive regulation Ghent University

Martin Valcke
Department of Educational Studies

Although higher education requires students to self-direct their learning, their metacognitive regulation is often insufficient for adequate self-regulation. Collaborative learning (CL) has shown to be effective in fostering both students’ self- and socially shared metacognitive regulation (SSMR). The latter refers to a joint and reciprocal engagement of multiple collaborative learners in
regulating each other’s and the group’s learning. ...
