Measuring and optimising latent variables in technology-enhanced learning contexts KU Leuven
This dissertation sheds more light onto the measurement of latent variables, through the exploration of use cases on engagement and cognitive load. Different data sources are monitored and at the same time, self-reports are collected. In this way, the studies verify which data sources are related to the latent variable. Results indicate that although some data sources are significantly associated to the self-reported scores, the measurement ...
Research skills in upper secondary education and in first year of university KU Leuven
The acquisition of research skills is an important goal of secondary education. Still, insights on what learner characteristics stimulate and hamper research skills are lacking. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between students’ research skills (assessed by means of the Leuven Research Skills Test (LRST) and students’ gender, educational track, grade, autonomous and controlled motivation. The LRST was administered to 405 11th ...
De professionele ontwikkeling van beginnende leerkrachten : tijd en relaties in de inductiefase Universiteit Gent
De inductiefase U+2013 de overgang van de lerarenopleiding naar de beroepspraktijk en de eerste jaren in het werk U+2013 is een van de meest uitdagende carrièrefases voor leraren. Veel leraren ervaren deze fase als problematisch en besluiten zelfs in hun eerste loopbaanjaren om het onderwijs te verlaten. Dit onderzoeksproject stelt dat het voortbestaan U+200BU+200Bvan dit probleem ten minste gedeeltelijk te wijten is aan de manier waarop het ...
The Instructional Design of a 4C/ID-Inspired Learning Environment for Upper Secondary School Students’ Research Skills KU Leuven
In today’s complex world, the acquisition of research skills is considered an important goal in education. Consequently, there is a growing body of literature that recognizes the value of well-designed learning environments for effectively supporting the development of this complex set of skills. However, a clear consensus on how these research skills can be facilitated is currently lacking, and the design processes underlying the learning ...
Evaluating the Leuven Research Skills Test for 11th and 12th Grade KU Leuven
According to (inter)national policy and curriculum documents, the acquisition of research skills is an important objective of secondary education. However, the conceptualization and hence the operationalization of this concept seems ambiguous. Furthermore, no test exists to assess students’ proficiency in (a broad range of) research skills in a 11th- and 12th-grade behavioral sciences classroom context. This article first elaborates on what ...
Application of Modern Psychometric Analyses to Measuring Creativity KU Leuven
This study aims to provide a look at the measurement of creativity and considerable issues related to this measurement. The study seeks to present a review of the literature on creativity measurement including the approaches of measuring creativity, the most frequently used instruments, and the limitations of these approaches. Moreover, the study aims to employ the modern psychometric approaches to provide a better understanding of controversial ...
Learning and instruction in the hybrid virtual classroom: An investigation of students’ engagement and the effect of quizzes KU Leuven
To deal with the current need for flexible learning trajectories giving access to a more diverse group of learners, synchronous hybrid virtual classrooms have been designed to connect both on-site students and remote students during synchronous teaching. Given synchronous blended learning is relatively new, there are only few studies that have investigated its use and effectiveness. Furthermore, the existing literature is mostly exploratory and ...
