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 ...

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.

Study practices as a response to the issue of sustainability. A case-based inquiry concerning the pedagogy of study practices in an peri-urban context KU Leuven

Joris Vlieghe
Education, Culture and Society
This project addresses a recent development in educational theory and practice: the growing attention for practices of study. The main hypothesis of this research is that these practices offer a unique but so far not yet investigated response to contemporary societal issues, and more particularly to the challenge of sustainably living together. Study practices take place in formal and non-formal educational settings (e.g. at universities ...

Designing iSTEM Learning Materials for Secondary Education KU Leuven

Wim Dehaene
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Manufacturing Processes and Systems (MaPS), Electronic Circuits and Systems (ECS)

To deal with the complex challenges of the future, education is needed that prepares students for becoming the scientifically- and technically-literate and broadly-employable workforce the labor market is looking for. European reports emphasizes the importance of crossdisciplinary skills, such as problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking. They propagate an interdisciplinary approach towards learning that reflects reality, ...

Theoretical and empirical underpinning of the concept of guidance in the process of Computer-Supported Inquiry-based Learning in secondary STEM-education Ghent University

Tammy Schellens
Department of Educational Studies

This project focuses on the theoretical and empirical underpinning of the concept of guidance in the process of Computer-Supported Inquiry-based Learning (CoSIL) in secondary STEM-education. Specifically, the focus is on the frequency, duration and modality in which multiple types of guidance can work synergistically within a CoSIL-environment in order to support domain-specific knowledge, scientific inquiry skills and motivation for STEM.

Mathematics through investigative learning – The perfect mat(c)h? VIVES

Annelore Blondeel
Onderwijsinnovatie, Pro Teaching
In Flanders we have seen a strong downward trend in mathematics performance within our education over the past 20 years. This is despite the fact that the teaching time for the subject has only increased (Faddar, J., 2020). PISA and TIMSS results show that the decline extends across different ages, as well as that the effect is greatest among students with a low socio-economic status (SES). In particular, the results in the field of measurement ...

Effective CLIL education in Flanders. Profiles of schools and students, perceived effects and preconditions. University of Antwerp

Mathea Simons
Artesis Plantijn Hogeschool Antwerpen, Didactica
What does an effective methodology for CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) look like? To what extent does CLIL in Flemish secondary education meet these characteristics? And what can stakeholders do to support effective CLIL education? This study aspires to provide answers to these questions based on a mixed-methods approach and does so in three lines of inquiry: (1) a literature review (umbrella review) that identifies the ...

An integrative framework for history teachers' adoption of inquirybased learning: Explaining current adoption and mapping short- and long-term effects of training offering extended support during implementation Ghent University

Bram De Wever
Department of Educational Studies

Inquiry-based learning is an instructional approach that provides students with authentic problems, and the materials necessary for drawing their own conclusions. According to educational research, inquiry-based learning is one of the most promising approaches to teaching history, as it contributes to an understanding of the content, as well as the ability to reason with historical information. Unfortunately, history lessons are often ...

A multilingual STEM approach VIVES

Annelore Blondeel
Onderwijsinnovatie
In this PWO project, practical research was performed based on the hypothesis that STEM education offers ideal learning contexts for functional multilingual learning that offer multilingual learners the opportunity to fully participate and use their real competences. In Flanders, we continue to look for ways to improve the school success of pupils with a migration background (e.g. Bex, 2015). At the same time, multilingualism at school is still ...

i5 PCK in school practice UCLL

Erica Andreotti
UC Limburg, Art of Teaching Leu, Art of Teaching Lim
De laatste decennia vond in de visie op onderwijs een shift plaats: de school wordt gezien als een talentenfabriek die aflevert wat de maatschappij nodig heeft. Leraren getuigen dat ze niet meer gewaardeerd worden over wat zij beschouwen als hun kerntaak: lesgeven over iets. Onderwijs gaat immers over het doorgeven van de wereld aan de volgende generatie (Arendt, 1954). Dit project wil de lerarencompetenties van ‘leraar zijn’ versterken. We ...
