Tomography is a powerful technique to non-destructively determine the interior structure of an object.Usually, a series of projection images (e.g.\ X-ray images) is acquired from a range of different positions.

Can birds - like people- ‘see’ voices and learn how to sing by listening and watching?

Professional learning communities are useful for professionalization but also for the development of induction programmes. In this project, we combine these two worlds into a professional learning communities in which mentors or novice teachers learn about mentoring and at the same time develop an induction…

In this study we aimed to examine teacher learning within a context of collaboration in interdisciplinary teams.

Humans and songbirds learn their vocalizations early in life by exposure to the vocalizations of adult conspecifics. Often, better learning outcomes are achieved with live, social, tutors than with audio-only exposure to vocalizations.

This dissertation focuses on teacher professional learning and collaboration in secondary schools.
