Listening to young children's voices: the evaluation of a coding system
Listening to young children’s voices is an issue with increasing relevance for many researchers in the field of early childhood research. At the same time, teachers and researchers are faced with challenges to provide children with possibilities to express their notions, and to find ways of comprehending children’s voices. In our research we aim to provide a method for listening to, and analyzing young children’s voices on educational issues. In this article we describe a new step in our research in which we are dealing with the issues of validity and reliability for the evaluation of our coding system: is our coding system for analyzing young children’s voices valid and reliable? Escuchar las voces de niños pequeños es un tema de creciente relevancia para
muchos investigadores en el campo de estudios sobre la infancia. Al mismo tiempo,
profesorado y personal investigador se encuentran con retos para dar a los niños
posibilidades de expresar sus nociones y encontrar formas de comprender sus voces.
En nuestra investigación nos proponemos proveer un método para escuchar y
analizar las voces de los niños acerca de temas educativos. En este artículo
describimos un nuevo paso en nuestra investigación en la que estamos trabajando
cuestiones de validez y fiabilidad para la evaluación de un sistema de codificación:
Es nuestro sistema de codificación para analizar las voces de los niños válido y

Towards a knowledge-rich learning environment in preparatory secondary education
In this case study a novel educational programme for students in preparatory vocational education was studied. The research questions were: (1) Which teaching/learning processes occur in a simulated workplace using the concept of a knowledge-rich workplace? (2) What is the role of models and modelling in the teaching/learning processes? The curriculum project consisted of design and construction tasks. The students were collaboratively involved in the process of designing a tricycle for a real customer. This real-life activity creates opportunities for students to develop and use models, which can be used in more than in one context. The case study explored how the teachers deal with the students' explicit and implicit need for knowledge and skills. The main findings are that teachers more often provide this knowledge, rather than guide the students in reconstructing it, and towards the end of the project, knowledge tended to remain situated
Reorganizing and integrating public health, health care, social care and wider public services:A theory-based framework for collaborative adaptive health networks to achieve the triple aim
Forty-one studies were included. Eight components were identified: social forces, resources, finance, relations, regulations, market, leadership, and accountability. Each component consists of three or more subcomponents, providing insight into (1) the (sub)component-specific strategies that accelerate PHM development, (2) the necessary contextual factors and mechanisms for these strategies to be successful and (3) the extracted theories that underlie the (sub)component-specific SCMO configurations. These theories originate from a wide variety of scientific disciplines. We bring these (sub)components together into what we call the Collabroative Adaptive Health Network (CAHN) framework
Pre-service primary school teachers’ knowledge during teaching informal statistical inference
The study reported in this article investigated the appropriateness of Mathematical Knowledge in Teaching of three pre-service primary school teachers (PSTs), teaching an informal statistical inference (ISI) lesson to primary school students. Using an ISI framework and the Knowledge Quartet framework., the presence and appropriateness of the PSTs’ teaching actions were coded and categorized. The results showed that PSTs were consciously engaged in making inferences based on sample data. The PSTs struggled to correctly interpret students’ conceptual input and to explain ISI, in particular, how generalizing from a sample is possible. Teacher education should focus on how PSTs can foster students’ understanding of the logic of drawing conclusions about a population based on a sample.Teaching and Teacher Learning (ICLON
