The evaluation of the teacher evaluation system in nursery and primary education and schools for part-time arts education Ghent University
The research aims to study the practice and effects of teacher evaluation in schools for nursery and primary education and schools for part-time arts education. The study will analyze which characteristics the teacher evaluation systems have, how school characteristics influence the evaluation system , how different actors perceive the systems and what the effects of teacher evaluation are. Firstly, a survey will be administered to principals ...

From sensemaking to school improvement? Exploring educational professionals' use of school performance feedback KU Leuven
Purposeful and systematic data use has a positive impact on the quality of educational decisions (Rossi et al., 2004). However, research has shown that Flemish schools make limited use of pupil outcome data, benchmarks, standardized assessment and feedback from scientific research in order to shape their policy and practice (Van Gasse et al., 2015; Vanlommel et al., 2017). In this doctoral project, we investigated to what extent and in what ...

The Entanglement of Feedback Literacy and Reflection: A Longitudinal Study in Engineering Education KU Leuven
Feedback, a concept that originated in the field of engineering, has evolved to become an essential aspect of learning. While it is regularly considered as information provided by an agent regarding aspects of one’s performance or understanding, there is a growing consensus that feedback should transcend the one-way transfer of information from teachers to students. Instead, feedback should be a learning-centered process that encourages ...

An AI Driven Dashboard for Instructional Feedback during the Learning Process KU Leuven
Usage of AI techniques for monitoring the progress of students in an open-ended learning context. More specifiically, the focus will be on code representation, self-supervised visualization techniques, data visualization for a dashboard with feedback on the students’ progress, and validation of the dashboard with teachers. This in collaboration with Dwengo vzw, to see everything integrated in their open-source online programming and ...
Triadic mentoring as discursive practice: Complexities, opportunities, and perspectives KU Leuven
Mentoring is a favored practice in teacher education. Research is, however, focused narrowly on the technical dimension of mentoring ('what works'), failing to account for the complexity of mentoring student teachers in the context of initial teacher education. This complexity results from the interaction of three key actors (mentors, student teachers, teacher educators), at the crossroad of two different institutional contexts (teacher ...
