No full textStudent voice in educational change:Approaches to enhancing motivation within the classroom
No full textStudent voice (SV), referring to the concept and prac-tices of involving students in educational decisions,has been gaining popularity due to its promising ef-fects on student need satisfaction and academicmotivation. Definitions of SV approaches, their vari-ety, and the benefits that various approaches havefor students' need satisfaction and learning motiva-tion are crucial for effective practical implementationand future studies on SV. The present study exploreswhether SV approaches vary on the components ofcurriculum design about which students can and wantto have a voice as well as examining the relationshipbetween various approaches to need satisfactionand autonomous motivation. The relationship be-tween not adapting approaches to students' wisheswith need satisfaction and autonomous motivationhas also been examined. Exploratory factor analy-sis revealed three distinctive approaches: content,evaluation, and lesson practicalities. Structural anal-ysis substantiated the benefits that SV approachesmay have for students' needs and motivation, withthe strongest relationships shown between content-based approaches and need satisfaction. Adverserelationships were found when approaches did notcorrespond with the students' wish for SV. SV ap-proaches that strike a balance between listening tostudents' voices and challenging students to gradu-ally gain more SV about content may prove to be themost advantageous for students' need satisfactionand learning motivation
Understanding environmental decision making: The association between stages of decision making and decisional conflict
No full textBBB baseert beleid op halve waarheden en hele leugens
No full textOp 29 maart stuurde Staatssecretaris Rummenie, die verantwoordelijk is voor bescherming en herstel van natuur, een brief over natuurbeleid naar de Tweede Kamer. Daarin staan voorstellen die de effectiviteit van het natuurbeleid ondermijnen. De maatschappelijke kosten ervan lopen inmiddels in de miljarden, terwijl de natuur verder achteruitgaat en boeren vastzitten in een uitzichtloze situatie
A control-value account of the association between social presence and satisfaction and perceived learning
No full textThe study at hand, involving 305 teacher training students in an online instructional technologies course, used a correlational design. The data was analyzed using partial-least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Our findings revealed that achievement emotions significantly predict satisfaction and perceived learning. Positive emotions like enjoyment strongly predict positive outcomes, while negative emotions like anger have the opposite effect. Boredom and anxiety showed minimal associations. Control and value appraisals were found to be good predictors of achievement emotions, with control appraisalspositively influencing enjoyment and negatively influencing boredom and anger. Value appraisals positively influenced enjoyment but had little impact on other emotions. The exogenous variables, social presence divergence and interaction integration, moderately influenced these appraisals, with interaction integration showing a strong positive relationship with value appraisals
A Multimodal Analysis of Online Information Foraging in Health-Related Topics Based on Stimulus-Engagement Alignment:Observational Feasibility Study
No full textBACKGROUND: The recent increase in online health information-seeking has prompted extensive user appraisal of encountered content. Information consumption depends crucially on the quality of encountered information and the user's ability to evaluate it; yet, within the context of web-based, organic search behavior, few studies take into account both these aspects simultaneously.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore a method to bridge these two aspects and grant even consideration to both the stimulus (web page content) and the user (ability to appraise encountered content). We examined novices and experts in information retrieval and appraisal to demonstrate a novel approach to studying information foraging theory: stimulus-engagement alignment (SEA).METHODS: We sampled from experts and novices in information retrieval and assessment, asking participants to conduct a 10-minute search task with a specific information goal. We used an observational and a retrospective think-aloud protocol to collect data within the framework of an interview. Data from 3 streams (think-aloud, human-computer interaction, and screen content) were manually coded in the Reproducible Open Coding Kit standard and subsequently aligned and represented in a tabularized format with the R package {rock}. SEA scores were derived from designated code co-occurrences in specific segments of data within the stimulus data stream versus the think-aloud and human-computer interaction data streams.RESULTS: SEA scores represented a meaningful comparison of what participants encountered and what they engaged with. Operationalizing codes as either "present" or "absent" in a particular data stream allowed us to inspect not only which credibility cues participants engaged with with the most frequency, but also whether participants noticed the absence of cues. Code co-occurrence frequencies could thus indicate case-, time-, and context-sensitive information appraisal that also takes into account the quality of information encountered.CONCLUSIONS: Using SEA allowed us to retain epistemic access to idiosyncratic manifestations of both stimuli and engagement. In addition, by using the same coding scheme and designated co-occurrences across participants, we were able to pinpoint trends within our sample and subsamples. We believe our approach offers a powerful analysis encompassing the breadth and depth of data, both on par with each other in the feat of understanding organic, web-based search behavior.</p

No full textThe award procedures for concessions and similar instruments
No full textConcessions continue to be a topic of interest to both daily practice and legal scholarship. This book highlights some specific themes to help bridge the current research gap. It deals with situations in which the government has a de facto or legal monopoly on (the allocation of) certain rights and where the private party acquiring these rights must make investments to subsequently be able to exploit these rights. The risk of recouping the costs incurred lies with the private party. Examples include mining, operating casinos, and operating parking garages. Although concessions are used in quite a few cases for these matters, this is not always the case. Indeed, sometimes similar instruments such as licenses or permits are used. The book anticipates this by including these instruments in its scope.This bilingual – French and English – comparative law study focuses on EU countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain), as well as countries outside the EU (Argentina, Egypt, the United States of America, and Switzerland). To facilitate comparison, four concrete cases for analysis and discussion have been identified: the exploitation of arcade halls and casinos, mining resources, advertising on street furniture and municipal car parks. Three main questions are addressed: 1) What legal instrument is used to allocate the right to exploit? 2) What legal procedure is used to allocate this right? 3) How are the private party and the investments made by this party protected? In ten chapters with national reports, these cases are discussed in an in-depth manner and are set against a general overview of the legal system of the country concerned. Each national report has a general conclusion that transcends the separate cases that are studied. The main findings and conclusions of this book are presented in two chapters with an extensive transversal analysis.All in all, this book gives the reader important insights into the situation surrounding ‘concessions’, provides a basis for thinking about solutions and raises important questions for future research. A must read for anyone dealing with concessions in academia or practice
