Slagen met dyslexie in het hoger onderwijs
No full textTussen 2009 en 2015 ging aan de Universiteit Gent een grootschalig, longitudinaal onderzoek van start naar studeren met dyslexie in het hoger. Het doel was een breed beeld te krijgen van studenten met dyslexie die starten in het hoger onderwijs in Vlaanderen. Daarnaast werden deze studenten gedurende 3 academiejaren gemonitord om een beter beeld te krijgen van hun studievoortgang en studieresultaten.
Als groep presteerden de studenten met dyslexie vaak lager dan de studenten zonder dyslexie, vooral voor lezen en spellen. Spelling was meer aangedaan dan lezen. Daarnaast hadden studenten met dyslexie een lagere verwerkingssnelheid dan studenten zonder dyslexie. Studenten met dyslexie hadden ook meer tijd nodig om verbale informatie uit hun langetermijngeheugen op te roepen (bijvoorbeeld eenvoudige rekenfeiten) dan studenten zonder dyslexie. Wat (vloeiende) intelligentie betreft werd er geen verschil gevonden tussen beide groepen.
Wat de slaagcijfers betreft, behaalden 70% van de controlestudenten tegenover 57% van de studenten met dyslexie na drie jaar een bachelordiploma. Echter bleek dit verschil niet significant. Daarnaast zagen we bij studenten met dyslexie wel significant hogere dropoutcijfers in vergelijking met studenten zonder dyslexie. Studenten met dyslexie hadden een verhoogde kans om tijdens het academiejaar hun studierichting af te breken en/of van richting te veranderen. Momenteel wordt onderzocht welke factoren hiervoor verantwoordelijk zijn.
Een belangrijke bevinding van deze studie blijft dat studenten met dyslexie ontegensprekelijk voor extra uitdagingen staan maar dat verder studeren ook voor hen zeker een haalbare kaart is. Studenten met dyslexie zijn dan ook gebaat bij een goede studiekeuzebegeleiding en voorbereiding van hun transitie van het secundair naar het hoger onderwijs

Nonresponse in the Belgian fertility and family survey.
No full textCombining response data from the Belgian Fertility and Family Survey with individual level and municipality level data from the 1991 Census for both nonrespondents and respondents, multilevel logistic regression models for contact and cooperation propensity are estimated. The covariates introduced are a selection of indirect features out of the researcher control only. Contrary to previous research, Socio Economic Status is found to be positively related to cooperation. Another unexpected result is the absence of any considerable impact of ecological correlates such as urbanicity.Cooperation; Data; Design; Fertility and family survey; Logistic regression; Mixture experiment; Model; Models; Multilevel analysis; Nonrespons; Optimal; Optimal design; Process variables; Processes; Qualitative variables; Selection; Split-plot experiment; Variables;
UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators
