This research aims to look at what…

How to make educational innovations practical for teachers

Collaboration is increasingly common among teachers in schools. As such, teacher education should prepare prospective teachers to effectively interact with other teachers in different types of communities or groups.

How do students’ interests develop over time and which interests are subsequently pursued in the higher educational choice of students?

Doctors are expected to apply recent insights from research to improve patient care. This is one of the reasons for integrating research into medical education.

In higher education intermediate assessment is used in different ways. In her PhD research Indira Day shows that lecturers should be able to continue to have the freedom to use various test forms, because not one type of test is optimal.

Research and design are two activities that are becoming increasingly important in the Dutch subjects O&O (‘research and design’) and NLT ('nature, life and technology’). The dissertation of Tessa Vossen (ICLON and Faculty of Science) indicates that teachers and students understand the importance of…

An important goal of the ICLON programme is to build bridges between practice and theory.
