Effectieve doceerstrategieën: het verschuiven van een productgerichte focus naar procesgerichte focus middels formatief handelen

Dit onderzoek beoogt de veelal overheersende productgerichte focus van leerlingen in het wiskundeonderwijs te verschuiven naar een procesgerichte focus. Hiertoe is een Hypothetical Teaching and Learning Trajectory (HTLT) ontworpen waarin volgens een iteratief proces onderzocht is hoe docenten leerlingen kunnen helpen om uitwerkingen te noteren...

Factors in the behaviour of mathematics teachers that influence math anxiety amongst high school students

This study examines which factors in the behaviour of math teachers in their contact with high school students contribute to the developing, worsening or alleviating of math anxiety during mathematics activities. <br/>The study was conducted in the form of a survey involving $888$ high school students during their math lesson. The survey...

Peer assessment in high school mathematics class: Using peer assessment as formative assessment

Peer assessment (PA) is a process that involves students assessing each other’s work and providing their peers with (elaborated) feedback. This thesis investigates how an elaborated form of formative PA can be implemented in the mathematics class to promote students’ achievement in mathematics. A mixed methods investigation at a third-grade...

The missing link in adaptive delta management: Insights on the potential of pumps in reducing flood risk under sea level rise and adaptive social learning to improve decision-making in the Rhine-Meuse estuary

Decision-makers in low-lying coastal zones are confronted with uncertain developments around flood risk.These drivers are surrounded by large uncertainties, which requires delta management to be adaptive. This research offers insights about adaptive delta management for the Rhine-Meuse estuary from three perspectives: a physical, a socio...

Expectation management for innovation processes within highly institutionalized environments: A framework for analyzing the organizational consequences of blockchain technology on the legitimacy of banks, and strategic approaches to manage these effects from a communication perspective

This project has researched the consequences of blockchain technology on the <br/>expected future role of banks. And furthermore, how banks can respond to these effects to improve the innovation strategy and remain their future relevance.

Thinking in network terms: Brain functional networks in migraine and the analogy with the patient's social network

Much is still unknown about the cause of migraine attacks in the brain. Similarly, a lot is unclear about the influence of patient-physician communication on migraine outcomes. An analogy between the migraine brain and the migraine patient by means of network analysis was therefore carried out in this research to search for new insights into...

This series – “Speaking – is part of a graduation project for a double degree in Architecture and Science Communication at the Delft University of Technology. The overall aim of this project was to design a form language that can be used in complex problem-solving processes in the field of science communication. The graduation project consists...

Enthusiastic connectors: Existing and desired professional profiles of practitioners of patient organizations as knowledge brokers within research projects with patient participation.

Patients are becoming more involved in scientific projects, as evaluators, advisors or partners of academic researchers. From a science communication perspective, these experiences are a fascinating laboratory about the challenges of knowledge sharing and exchange between stakeholders with very different perspectives. Little is known about those...

Modelling Midstream Modulation in Medical Technology: An investigation of communication characteristics and effectiveness

The study is the first to describe and model the dynamics and characteristics of communication during midstream modulation. A meta-model of seven communication traditions is deployed to frame the nature of communication. The study also validates the effectiveness of midstream modulation in the field of medical device technology.

Towards effective heat transition policy in South-Holland: Comparing a local market driven approach and a regional plan driven approach for the design of the low-temperature heating system in South-Holland, and exploring Q-methodology to design a process of collective learning and decision making between residents and municipalities

“Heating and cooling remain neglected areas of energy policy and technology, but their decarbonisation is a fundamental element of a low-carbon economy.” (IEA, 2012). In The Netherlands the total heat demand needs to be reduced and the heat provision needs to become more sustainable (Kamp, 2015). By 2021, municipalities therefore need to have...

Development of a knowledge sharing game to design collaborations in a hierarchical organisation: How innovation strategies can be implemented at the working floor throughout organisations

Background: There is an increasing need for structured methods that encourage effective knowledge sharing and collaborations at the working floor to implement innovation strategies, especially in case of employer - employee relationships. <br/><br/>Objective: This research (master thesis) focused on knowledge sharing on the work floor during...

Designing a tool to stimulate reflexivity of fundamental scientists using a novel co-design approach

Following the perspective of the European Horizon 2020 project ‘NUCLEUS’, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) should be brought to life in universities and scientific institutions. This study acts as one of the mobile nuclei of the NUCLEUS project, with the goal to operationalize RRI instead of building theories. The aim of this research...

Op de goede weg?: Een casestudie over het formatief evalueren van de ontwerpvaardigheid divergent denken in het primair onderwijs.

In het hedendaagse onderwijs wordt steeds meer aandacht besteed aan 21e-eeuwse vaardigheden. Ontwerpend leren is een goed middel om leerlingen 21e-eeuwse vaardigheden bij te brengen, aldus de Verkenningscommissie wetenschap en...

Interference and collaboration in the Dutch energy system: A methodology to analyse interference between policy measures, and a system perspective on interorganizational collaboration between public organizations

The energy system is a complex socio-technical system, characterised by a multitude of stakeholders, different goals, long-term investments, and large scale sub systems with long lifetimes. The government of the Netherlands aims to support the transition of the energy system of the Netherlands towards a sustainable system by implementing policy...
