The Implications of the Cognitive Sciences for the Relation Between Religion and Science Education: The Case of Evolutionary Theory KU Leuven Ghent University
This paper discusses the relationship between religion and science education in the light of the cognitive sciences. We challenge the popular view that science and religion are compatible, a view that suggests that learning and understanding evolutionary theory has no effect on students' religious beliefs and vice versa. We develop a cognitive perspective on how students manage to reconcile evolutionary theory with their religious beliefs. We ...
We all reflect, but why? A systematic review of the purposes of reflection in higher education in social and behavioral sciences Ghent University
Assessment of reflection in undergraduate health sciences education Ghent University
Embedding ICT in real-time measurements for versatile applications in modern life sciences education Hasselt University
Involving undergraduates and high school students to play a more active role in science lessons has been an objective in many educational research programmes. ICT is a perfect tool to meet this goal. Particularly, in this paper the processing of experimental biochemical – biotechnological data in the science classroom is highlighted. Additionally, the paper focuses on the interdisciplinary approach ‘from scientific experiment to a mathematical ...
Oral pres. "The challenges in pharmacy education : the clash between “hard” and “soft” sciences”. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
There is no discussion that there is an evolution, even a revolution going on, and still coming up, in the pharmacy profession. For many years, the pharmacist was responsible for the production and the analysis of medicines. Now, the pharmacist is also responsible for the information towards patients and the profession is now more than ever patient-centered than medicine-centered. This evolution had also structural influences on pharmacy ...
Position and image of the human sciences course of study within the Flemish secondary education system University of Antwerp
Human Sciences is one of the many courses of study in the system of secondary education in Flanders that prepares students for higher education. Despite its aspirations, this course of study is perceived both within and outside the schools as the easiest track and, therefore the lowest rung within general secondary education. In 2001, the Flemish government passed a reform with the intention of upgrading the course of study. In addition to ...
Game-based learning in health sciences education. Approaches to Collaborative Game-making for Fostering 21st Century Skills KU Leuven
The paper discusses the use of games specifically in the domain of health sciences, both in secondary and higher education. From a preliminary review we will present both traditional and digital games used to improve and/or assess young people's knowledge in relation to health sciences. In addition, we will discuss three studies we have set up to investigate the effectiveness of a designed board game to teach and assess first aid competencies of ...
Embedding ICT in real-time measurements for various applications in modern life sciences education Hasselt University
Involving students to play a more active role in science lessons has been an objective in many educational research. ICT is a perfect alternative tool aiming for this goal, i.c. the processing of experimental (bio)chemical data in practical sessions in the science classroom/lab. Children already are well trained to think digitally from a very early stage in their life. So the step to explore the newest ICT equipment is a small one. But it is ...
The essential role of natural sciences in climate change Masters education KU Leuven
Future climate change may critically affect natural resources that are essential for basic human needs. Water resources are undoubtedly among the most important resources in this respect. Moreover, water plays an important role in the climate system. These examples illustrate why it is important to pay considerable attention to natural resources in climate change education. The expertise associated with natural resource sectors is inherently ...
