In 2020 is vanuit het SPRONG-Educatief programma van SIA en NRO het STEMnetwerk (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) gestart. Doel hiervan is het bouwen van een stevig landelijk lerend netwerk op het gebied van STEM-onderwijs, om de kwaliteit van dit onderwijs te verbeteren. In de onderwijspraktijk …

We investigate how interactive representations can be used to support learners while learning about the circular motion of celestial bodies. We present the developed representation and accompanying lesson, and report on the effect.

Informal learning spaces create opportunities for children and youth to develop their talents and to experience new social roles. In recent years, several public libraries in the Netherlands have established makerspaces to empower youth by facilitating the development of their digital skills in conjunction …

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 …
