The Architectural Unhomely In Educational and Representational Practice and Theory: Gazing into the Empowering Gaps of Architectural Education and Design KU Leuven
Research into the architectural 'Unhomely' (or ‘Uncanny’) addresses a disquieting force in architecture. As society is currently dominated by an unspoken sense of anguish, this research calls for a better understanding of and confrontation with imminent threats. The architectural research into ‘(Un)homely’ does not intimidate. Rather, it stimulates the growth of human creativity through architecture. The ‘Unhomely’ serves as a ‘positive’ and ...

Immigrant students’ educational expectations: the role of religious affiliation and practice Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
A body of scholarly work has emerged on educational expectations. More recently, the relationship between educational expectations and immigrant background in Western Europe has been investigated.

Development and Evaluation of an Educational Game to Practice the Truth Tables of Logic Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Already for years, the logic course in the first year of our Bachelor program in Computer Science has been a serious stumbling block for many students. They find the formal and abstract mechanisms of logic difficult and awkward to deal with. Many procrastinate, which results in poor understanding of the basic principles, which in turn causes them to fall even more behind. Previous attempts to remedy this have had little effect. Since educational ...
Enhancing medical evaluations of sick-listed employees: an educational intervention to improve professional practice of physicians performing work ability assessments of employees on long-term sick leave KU Leuven
PURPOSE: Long-term sick leave (LTSL) is a complex phenomenon. Medical and non-medical factors can delay return-to-work (RTW); therefore, the assessment of work ability is complicated. A checklist for identifying factors associated with delayed RTW was developed in a prior study to facilitate the exploration of barriers and facilitators for RTW. The purpose of the present study was to determine if use of the checklist enhances professional ...
Sustainability and Scalability in Educational Technology Initiatives: Research-Informed Practice Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Although a positive impact of technology interventions on educational practice and student outcomes has been shown in many previous research settings, the use of technology in classrooms and schools is still often superficial and not meeting the potential of technology as envisioned by education reformers and researchers in the field. However, when technology projects have been implemented successfully in educational practice and shown ...
The political tendency typology : different ways in which the political dimension of sustainability issues appears in educational practice Universiteit Gent
In this chapter we present and describe a typology of different ways in which the political dimension of sustainability issues can appear in educational practice. The political tendency typology distinguishes between ‘political norms’, ‘political reflections’, ‘political deliberation’ (sub-divided into ‘normative deliberation’, ‘consensus-oriented deliberation’ and ‘conflict-oriented deliberation’) and ‘political moment’. Each of these ...
