In deze dissertatie wordt er een poging ondernomen ontwikkelingen op he t vlak van psychometrie toe te passen op een aantal themas uit het onde rwijsonderzoek en ...
A structural equation model for determinants of instructors’ educational ICT use in higher education in developing countries: Evidence from Ethopia KU Leuven
In recent years, there has been greater interest and commitment in developing countries to transform their higher education (HE) using ICT. Evidence shows that ICT is underutilized by instructors in these countries. However, a rigorous context-specific model which explains this observation is currently lacking. In this large-scale study, the causal relationships among institutional and individual determinants of HE instructors' ICT use were ...
Theoretical models of participation in adult education: the need for an integrated model KU Leuven
The European Union has set a goal that by 2010, 12.5% of the working age population should be taking part in lifelong learning. This participation rate has not yet been achieved in many countries.

Towards a Serious Game Experience Model: Validation, Extension and Adaptation of the GEQ for Use in an Educational Context Ghent University
In this paper, we present the results of game experience measurements of three design stages of the serious game Poverty Is Not a Game (PING) using the FUGA Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) extended with a Perceived Learning (PL) module. It is hypothesized that subsequent design stages will evoke a more positive game experience and higher PL. In a first step the factor structure and convergent and discriminant validity of the existing GEQ ...
