Een krachtige leeromgeving voor elke leerling
No full textAbstract: Het observeren van de eigen onderwijspraktijk vormt een waardevol vertrekpunt. Dat kan door middel van de observatiewijzer binnenklasdifferentiatie en de bijhorende gespreksleidraad, die Tom Smits en Els Tanghe naar aanleiding van hun onderzoek uit 2013-2015 en 2023 ontwikkelden. De toolbox met werkvormen voor binnenklasdifferentiatie en de toolbox diversiteitscompetenties kunnen bijkomende inspiratie bieden
Genetic algorithm learning in a New Keynesian macroeconomic setup
No full textIn order to understand heterogeneous behavior amongst agents, empirical
data from Learning-to-Forecast (LtF) experiments can be used to construct learning
models. This paper follows up on Assenza et al. (2013) by using a Genetic Algorithms
(GA) model to replicate the results from their LtF experiment. In this GA
model, individuals optimize an adaptive, a trend following and an anchor coefficient
in a population of general prediction heuristics. We replicate experimental treatments
in a New-Keynesian environment with increasing complexity and use Monte
Carlo simulations to investigate how well the model explains the experimental data.
We find that the evolutionary learning model is able to replicate the three different
types of behavior, i.e. convergence to steady state, stable oscillations and dampened
oscillations in the treatments using one GA model. Heterogeneous behavior can
thus be explained by an adaptive, anchor and trend extrapolating component and the
GA model can be used to explain heterogeneous behavior in LtF experiments with
different types of complexity
Supporting formative assessment in the second language classroom: an action research study in secondary education
No full textFormative assessment (FA) is an important tool for supporting student learning. It provides learners with information about their learning process and supports them through feedback on how to improve their learning. Although it is recognized by secondary school teachers as crucial to language assessment, the integration of FA in their second language teaching practice has been limited. A participatory action research (PAR) design in the present study offers insights into how the learning process of teachers implementing FA can be encouraged. Teachers involved in this PAR were offered an FA toolbox and the opportunity to learn from their peers as sources of support. The data analysis of semi-structured interviews, action plans, and video coaching sessions shows that the participants react to this support in different ways. Some teachers experience the FA toolbox as a source of inspiration but are less inclined to reflect with colleagues on how to improve the implementation of FA. The majority of the participants indicate that the toolbox raises awareness on a more purposive use of FA. These teachers work with colleagues as critical friends to discuss their vision on teaching and FA implementation. Lastly, a third group of teachers are already using many of the tools offered by the toolbox. In discussions with colleagues they mainly put forward suggestions, take up a coaching role and reflect on the contribution of their actions to the school policy.This work was supported by a PWO [practice-oriented scientific research] grant from Karel de Grote University of Applied Sciences and Arts
