Math learning in grade-4 and 5 : what can we learn form the opportunity-propensity model? Universiteit Gent
Prenatal programming of obesity in a swine model of leptin resistance Universiteit Antwerpen
The main role of early nutritional programming in the current rise of obesity and associated diseases is well known. However, translational studies are mostly based in postnatal food excess and, thus, there is a paucity of information on the phenotype of individuals with prenatal deficiencies but adequate postnatal conditions. Thus, we assessed the effects of prenatal programming (comparing descendants from females fed with a diet fulfilling 100 ...
Motivational and math anxiety perspective for mathematical learning and learning difficulties Universiteit Gent
Studies on the predictors of mathematical learning and learning difficulties have been receiving growing attention. It is well established in the literature that IQ is a powerful predictor of several psychosocial outcomes, including school achievement. Other well-consolidated literature shows that cognitive–motivational effects exist but are rather small. There seems to be a big interaction between interest and specific knowledge in a domain ...
Het profiel van kinderen met dyscalculie : hoe draagt het Opportunity-Propensity-model (O-P) bij tot meer inzicht? Universiteit Gent
The impact of school strategies and the home environment on home learning experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in children with and without developmental disorders Universiteit Gent
Using the Opportunity-Propensity Model (Byrnes in Dev Rev 56:100911, 2020; Byrnes & Miller in Contemp Educ Psychol 32(4);599-629, 2007), the current study investigated which factors helped predicting children's home learning experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby examining differences between children with (DD; n = 779) and without (TD; n = 1443) developmental disorders. MANCOVA results indicated more negative experiences for DD ...
The internationalization of production and the politics of compliance in WTO disputes Universiteit Antwerpen
In this paper we seek to advance the debate on the conditions under which the WTO Dispute Settlement Body can bring about trade-liberalizing policy change in WTO members. Under what conditions do WTO members change domestic policies or measures that are challenged in WTO litigation? Starting from the assumption that policymakers are political-support maximizers who seek to avoid the mobilization of political enemies, we argue that the degree of ...
Entrepreneurial capability versus entrepreneurial propensity Universiteit Antwerpen
Scholars have moved beyond the view that entrepreneurs are born as entrepreneurs (Gartner, 1988) and the antecedents of entrepreneurial propensity and capability have been broadly researched. Still policymakers are seeking measures (European-Commission, 2013) to develop more entrepreneurs with ambitious, high-growth potential, aiming beyond the mere creation of more entrepreneurs. If not enough suitable candidates respond to this call, then one ...
Ready or not? A study on the effects of kindergarten retention KU Leuven
The transition from kindergarten to first grade forms an important milestone for children and their family. It concerns a sensitive period for children's academic and psychosocial development with potentially significant implications for later school success. Children who are considered unready to promote to first grade are often retained in kindergarten for an extra school year. But does this practice really make a difference? The present ...
Global food value chains and rural employment in Senegal: Welfare and gender implications KU Leuven
The agri-food sector in developing countries has been transforming rapidly during the last decades, leading to a more consolidated and vertically integrated agro-industry. Labour market effects are especially pronounced in high-value export sectors. Whether this transformation in the agri-food sector and the associated employment creation benefits rural households in developing countries remains a highly debated issue. While some argue that the ...
