Training Morele Psychologie

Deze training Morele Psychologie wil helpen inzicht te ontwikkelen in de psychologische dynamiek zelf die ontstaat rond discussies over ‘het goede handelen’ en die je als begeleider of beleidsmaker voortdurend zult tegenkomen in het werkveld, zodat je patronen daarin herkent. De training is ontwikkeld voor begeleiders van asielzoekers en statushouders in Nederland en België. De basisprincipes uit de Morele Psychologie zullen echter herkenbaar zijn voor een bredere groep beleidsmakers en ondersteuners, en toepasbaar binnen andere beroepsgroepen. Deze training Morele Psychologie is onderdeel van het project ‘Your Global Future’, een project gericht op begeleiders van asielzoekers en statushouders ter bevordering van een inclusieve en toekomstvrije benadering (Future Free Approach).

Monitor Special Heroes in cluster 3

Special Heroes heeft als doel om de beoefening van sportieve activiteiten door leerlingen in het speciaal onderwijs te bevorderen. Na een succesvolle pilot, hebben Gehandicaptensport Nederland, NOC*NSF en de Landelijke Vereniging voor Cluster 3-scholen (LVC3) vanaf 2009 het programma Special Heroes verder uitgerold. Om te evalueren hoe het programma is verlopen, is bij de start en aan het eind van de programmaperiode onderzoek uitgevoerd onder cluster 3-scholen van het speciaal onderwijs (SO en VSO). Deze scholen zijn gespecialiseerd in onderwijs aan leerlingen met een verstandelijke of lichamelijke handicap, een meervoudige handicap en aan langdurige zieke leerlingen. Dit rapport gaat in op de eindsituatie bij de cluster 3-scholen en hun leerlingen, zoals we vaststelden medio 2012 (1-meting). Voor het onderzoek is gebruik gemaakt van vragenlijsten onder deelnemende scholen (n=34) en ouders/leerlingen (n=3.004). Daarnaast is kwalitatief onderzoek uitgevoerd bij tien scholen (interviews met vakleerkrachten, trainers, leerlingen en ouders) en bij programmamedewerkers van Special Heroes (7 bijeenkomsten). Tussentijds is een vragenlijst afgenomen onder sportaanbieders (n=136). Het rapport beschrijft de behaalde resultaten van Special Heroes op organisatieniveau en op het niveau van de einddoelgroep (cluster 3-leerlingen).

parents' role in enabling the participation of their child with a physical disability

Parental involvement is a crucial force in children’s development, learning and success at school and in life [1]. Participation, defined by the World Health Organization as ‘a person’s involvement in life situations’ [2] for children means involvement in everyday activities, such as recreational, leisure, school and household activities [3]. Several authors use the term social participation emphasising the importance of engagement in social situations [4, 5]. Children’s participation in daily life is vital for healthy development, social and physical competencies, social-emotional well-being, sense of meaning and purpose in life [6]. Through participation in different social contexts, children gather the knowledge and skills needed to interact, play, work, and live with other people [4, 7, 8]. Unfortunately, research shows that children with a physical disability are at risk of lower participation in everyday activities [9]; they participate less frequently in almost all activities compared with children without physical disabilities [10, 11], have fewer friends and often feel socially isolated [12-14]. Parents, in particular, positively influence the participation of their children with a physical disability at school, at home and in the community [15]. They undertake many actions to improve their child’s participation in daily life [15, 16]. However, little information is available about what parents of children with a physical disability do to enable their child’s participation, what they come across and what kind of needs they have. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate parents’ actions, challenges, and needs while enhancing the participation of their school-aged child with a physical disability. In order to achieve this aim, two steps have been made. In the first step, the literature has been examined to explore the topic of this thesis (actions, challenges and needs) and to clarify definitions for the concepts of participation and social participation. Second, for the purposes of giving breadth and depth of understanding of the topic of this thesis a mixed methods approach using three different empirical research methods [17-19], was applied to gather information from parents regarding their actions, challenges and needs.

Introducing and discussing the virtual special issue on using Q methodology in higher education

This is the editorial paper for the virtual special issue “Using Q methodology in higher education: Opportunities and challenges”, consisting of nine original research studies from different international contexts. In addition to presenting novel findings, contributors were invited to discuss the following two questions at the center of the special issue call: In what sense has Q methodology served as a fitting approach to investigate subjectivity in higher education? What methodological opportunities and challenges arise with Q methodology in higher education settings? This editorial provides an overview and discussion of the various justifications mentioned for Q methodology. Furthermore, it collates the opportunities and challenges contributors discuss in relation to their studies using this almost 90-year-old methodological approach. The editorial paper concludes with recommendations for future Q methodological studies in higher education and beyond.

A Comparison of Stress and Burnout between Dutch General and Special Education Teachers

In this study self-reported stress and burn-out levels between general and special education teachers in the Netherlands are compared. More than eight hundred teachers were assessed with the Utrechtse Burnout Schaal (UBOS-L/MBI) to determine their levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment within the school context. We also used instruments to measure different stress indicators (personal characteristics: self-efficacy, negative affect, and student characteristics: student responsibility and discipline, studentpeer relationships, and class size). Contrary to recent findings in the United States (Shoho, 2002), results regarding burnout did not show any significant differences between general education teachers (n=604) and special education teachers (n=206). However, we do find significant differences in stress indicators explaining burnout. We also looked for factors other than those intrinsic to teaching, by crossnationally comparing teacher stress and burnout. Teachers in the U.S. and the Netherlands differ significantly in burnout level. U.S. teachers experience more burnout.

Effecten van video interactie begeleiding en training in voor- en vroegschoolse educatie op de interactievaardigheden van pedagogisch medewerkers

Studies uit binnen- en buitenland hebben laten zien dat de staf in de voor- en vroegschoolse periode relatief sterk is in emotionele ondersteuning van jonge kinderen maar duidelijk zwakker bij didactische ondersteuning. In een gecontroleerde experimentele studie onderzochten we de effecten van training voor pedagogisch medewerkers gericht op het verbeteren van de proceskwaliteit, in drie condities: een intensieve vve-variant, video interactiebegeleiding en een combinatie hiervan. De vve-training verbeterde de vaardigheden van de staf bij de didactische ondersteuning. De video- interactiebegeleiding bleek effectief in het verbeteren van de begeleiding tussen kinderen. Een micro-analyse van de interacties tussen de staf en de kinderen liet differentiële effecten zien van beide trainingen. De positieve resultaten uit deze studie onderstrepen het belang van gestructureerde en intensieve trainingen voor het versterken van de educatieve vaardigheden van pedagogisch medewerkers, met aandacht voor intensieve coaching op de werkvloer en video-feedback.

Networking Education and Teacher Training

This paper reports on the EU-project 'Professionally Networking Education and Teacher Training' (PRONETT). The key objective of the PRONETT project (2001-2004) is to develop a regional and cross national learning community of pre- and in-service teachers and teacher educators supported by webbased resources and tools to collaborate and to construct shared understandings of teaching and learning in a networked classroom. The reasons for the initiative and the design principles of the PRONETT portal offering a virtual infrastructure for the collaboration of participating students and teachers at www.PRONETT.org are presented. The initial pilots carried out by the project partners are described, highlighting the co-ordinating partners activities targeted at contributing to the local realisation of ICT-rich, competence based Teacher Education Provision. Results are reported of the evaluation and implementation efforts aimed at validating the original portal design and collecting information to inspire further project development and implementation strategies. We conclude by summarising the lessons learned and providing recommendations for improved and extended use and further dissemination of the project results and facilities.

Views of Students on Learning with Technologies in Dutch Education and Training

The integrated use of technologies in learning in formal education and training in The Netherlands is far from realized, and there is still a long way to go to reach that goal. But what are the views of students and early career teachers about learning with technologies? This chapter focuses on Dutch research into the expectations and experiences of students and early career teachers as to their views of learning with technologies in education and training. A survey was conducted online, followed by focus group interviews among all groups studied. The most important findings of the research are being presented here. Special attention is given to the use of mobile technologies and the Internet, social networking sites and gaming, bullying, spam and plagiarism, homework and learning, technologies in schools and in learning, motivation of students and the role of teachers.
