This study presents the initial findings of a four year iterative research project. In this project nine teams of lecturers, researchers and students collaboratively (re)designed parts of their curricula. This paper focuses on the character of their multi-role collaboration in the situation, the interaction …

After the integration of research activities, universities of applied sciences (UASs) have formulated organisational strategies to foster connections between research and education (Daas et al., 2023). Scholars stated that the behaviour of employees within UASs influences ‘the direction and tempo in …

Lecturers in higher education are expected to make use of the expanding amount of available resources when designing their courses(Baron & Zablot, 2015). This use of resources includes selecting, structuring and presenting materials; behaviour often referred to as curation (e.g. Anderson, 2015). Little …

Purpose of this study This study aims to better understand the deliberate design of student learning in living labs. Theoretical background The intended purpose of living labs in higher education is to integrate education, research and professional practice and thereby integrate initial learning (of …

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has faced capacity constraints, particularly during peak periods. At the security screening checkpoint, this is due to the growing number of passengers and a shortage of security staff. To improve operating performance, there is a need to integrate newer technologies that improve …

Circular and elliptical motion are fundamental topics in physics education, yet learners often struggle to grasp them. We investigate how interactive qualitative representations can be used to describe the characteristic behavior of circular and elliptical motion. We use the vocabulary and algorithms …

This paper presents three lesson activities for upper secondary and higher education that focus on learning by constructing an interactive qualitative representation. By constructing the representation learners learn domain knowledge as well as general system thinking skills. The learning goals and the …

This paper presents three qualitative models that were developed for the Stargazing Live! program. This program consists of a mobile planetarium that aims to inspire and motivate learners using real telescope data during the experience. To further consolidate the learning experience three lessons are …

The complexity of analysing dynamical systems often lies in the difficulty to monitor each of their dynamic properties. In this article, we use qualitative models to present an exhaustive way of representing every possible state of a given system, and combine it with Bayesian networks to integrate quantitative …
