Competentie-ontwikkelend Onderwijs
In debatten over de vernieuwingen in onderwijs zijn competentiegericht onderwijs en competentie-ontwikkelend onderwijs vaak en graag gebruikte begrippen. In het beroepsgericht secundair onderwijs, het deeltijds onderwijs, het volwassenonderwijs en het hoger onderwijs lopen al projecten en programma's om te werken met competenties. Maar over de precieze inhoud van deze begrippen bestaat in de Vlaamse onderwijswereld geen duideijkheid. Daarom organiseerde de Vlor hierover een probleemverkenning. Raadsleden, praktijkdeskundigen en academici zochten, elk vanuit hun specifieke kennis en invalshoek, naar antwoorden op vragen als: Wat betekent het bregrip competentie nu precies? En wat is competentie-ontwikkeld onderwijs?Welke meerwaarde heeft competentie-ontwikkeld onderwijs en wat zijn de valkuilen Is competentie-ontwikkeld onderwijs meer aangewezen in bepaalde onderwijsniveaus of -sectoren dan in andere? Welke systeemvoorwaarden zijn onmisbaar om competentie-ontwikkeld onderwijs te kunnen organiseren? Deze publicatie bundelt de bijdragen van de verschillende deskundigen en sluit af met een synthesetekst.

Rethinking Assessment in Higher Education
This book critically examines assessment, what it achieves and argues that assessment should be seen as an act of informing judgement and proposes a way of integrating teaching, learning and assessment to prepare students for a lifetime of learning.
Student Perspectives on Assessment
Assessment for learning is meant to engage, motivate, and enable students to do better in their learning. However, how students themselves perceive assessments (both high-stakes qualifications and low-stakes monitoring) is not well understood. This volume collects research studies from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and New Zealand that have deliberately focused on how students in primary, secondary, and tertiary education conceive of, experience, understand, and evaluate assessments. Assessment for learning has assumed that formative assessments and classroom practices would be an unqualified success in terms of student learning outcomes. Making use of a variety of qualitatively interpreted focus groups, observations, and interviews and factor-analytic survey methods, the studies collected in this volume raise doubts as to the validity of this formulation. We commend this volume to readers hoping to stimulate their own thinking and research in the area of student assessment. We believe the chapters will challenge researchers, policy makers, teacher educators, and instructors as to how assessment for learning can be implemented.
Applied Philosophy for Health Professions Education
This book increases the accessibility of philosophical concepts to a wider audience within medical education, translating ‘knowing’ to ‘doing.’ It prompts health professions educators and researchers to consider the dynamics and structure of contemporary issues within health professions education in new, philosophical ways. Through considering the practical implications of applying philosophical concepts to contemporary issues, the book recommends avenues for further research and pedagogical change. Individual educators are considered, with practice points for teaching generated within each chapter. Readers will acquire practical ways in which they can change their own practice or pedagogy that align with the new insight offered through our philosophical analysis. These practical recommendations may be systemic in nature, but the authors of this book also offer micro-level recommendations for practitioners that can be considered as ways to improve individual approaches to education and research.
Educational Innovation in Economics and Business
Like previous volumes in the "Educational Innovation in Economics and Business" series, this one is genuinely international in terms of its coverage. It reflects the worldwide interest in, and commitment to, innovation in business education with a view to enhancing the learning experience of both undergraduates and postgraduates. It should prove of value to anyone engaged directly in business education.
Communicative Figurations
This open access volume assesses the influence of our changing media environment. Today, there is not one single medium that is the driving force of change. With the spread of various technical communication media such as mobile phones and internet platforms, we are confronted with a media manifold of deep mediatization. But how can we investigate its transformative capability? This book answers this question by taking a non-media-centric perspective, researching the various figurations of collectivities and organizations humans are involved in. The first part of the book outlines a fundamental understanding of the changing media environment of deep mediatization and its transformative capacity. The second part focuses on collectivities and movements: communities in the city, critical social movements, maker, online gaming groups and networked groups of young people. The third part moves institutions and organizations into the foreground, discussing the transformation of journalism, religion, politics, and education, whilst the fourth and final part is dedicated to methodologies and perspectives.
