Hoger onderwijs wacht snoeihard debat over racisme
Jongeren met een migratieachtergrond doen het
aanzienlijk slechter in het hoger onderwijs dan hun
witte medestudenten. Dat ligt niet aan deze jongeren,
maar aan de leeromgeving. âWe moeten leren luisteren
naar hun verhaal, ook al kan dat knap ongezellig en
ongemakkelijk worden.
Lang lere de netwerksamenleving!: Long live (and learn) the Network Society!
Onderzoeksplatform âConnected Learning:
âAl ruim vijftien jaar houdt De Haagse Hogeschool zich bezig
met onderzoek als deel van haar missie. Terwijl onderwijs
vaak geworteld is in monodisciplinaire vakgebieden, kan met
onderzoek wat makkelijker gekeken worden naar domeinen
in de samenleving (zorg, veiligheid, ondernemen, etc.) waarin
complexe problematiek steeds vaker wél dan niet een multidisciplinaire
aanpak vereist. Bijna niemand werkt nog alleen
of met alleen vakgenoten aan problemen of uitdagingen. En
die veranderende beroepspraktijk is bij uitstek het domein
van het hoger beroepsonderwijs. Daar leiden we voor op. Het
onderzoeken van en experimenteren met nieuwe uitdagingen
in de praktijk verbindt ons sterker met de samenleving, het
stelt ons in staat om ons beroepsonderwijs te vernieuwen en
geeft docenten, onderzoekers en studenten de kans om zich
te ontwikkelen door samen te werken aan vragen en uitdagingen
die de toekomst van de beroepspraktijk vorm geven.
Veel onderzoek wordt uitgevoerd onder begeleiding van lectoren
die samenwerken met docent-onderzoekers, studenten,
en professionals in het werkveld aan veelal meerjarige onderzoeksagendaâs
die lijn aanbrengen in verschillende deelactiviteiten.
Een van de manieren waarop De Haagse Hogeschool onderzoek organiseert is in de vorm van onderzoeksplatforms
die zich richten op verschillende domeinen van de samenleving.
Wij zijn âConnected Learningâ, een onderzoeksplatform
dat zich richt op leren in de netwerksamenleving - in de samenleving
zelf, maar ook in de beroepspraktijk en in ons onderwijs.
Aangenaam. Wat wij doen? Daar gaat dit boek over,
dus daar verklappen we hier nog niets over. Wat verwacht
u als u nadenkt over onze naam? Enig idee? Geen idee?
Benieuwd?
Lees verder om te ontdekken wat ons inspireert, uitdaagt en
nieuwsgierig maakt. Sommige van onze ideeën zijn doordacht
en doorleefd omdat we er al jaren onderzoek naar
doen, andere zijn nieuw en dagen ons uit om er grip op te
krijgen. Wij geven met dit boek een beeld van waar we staan
in 2018. Zie het als een eerste kennismaking, met de nadruk
op âeersteâ: we werken graag met veel en verschillende partners.
Zie het als visitekaartje van onze onderzoeksagenda.
We hopen van harte dat u zich als lezer uitgenodigd voelt om
met ons samen op zoek te gaanâmisschien wel naar een
gezamenlijke toekomst.
âConnected Learningâ Research Platform:
For over fifteen years, The Hague University of Applied
Sciences has been carrying out research as part of its mission.
While education is often rooted in monodisciplinary
subject areas, research allows for a broader look at areas of
society (care, security, entrepreneurship etc.), where complex
problems more often than not require a multidisciplinary approach.
Today, barely anyone works on problems or challenges
alone or solely with colleagues from within the same subject
area. Universities of applied sciences are uniquely placed
to deal with these changes in professional practices; after all,
we train the professionals who will one day enter that field.
Researching and experimenting with new challenges in professional
practice allows us to connect more strongly with society,
enables us to be innovative in our professional training
and gives lecturers, researchers and students the opportunity
to develop themselves by cooperating on the challenges and
issues that will shape the future of that professional practice.
Most research is carried out under the guidance of professors
who cooperate with lecturers/researchers, students and
the professional field, mainly on long-term research agendas
that provide an outline for various sub-activities. One of the ways in which research is organised at The Hague University
of Applied Sciences is in the form of research platforms
that focus on various areas of society. We are âConnected
Learningâ, a research platform focusing on learning in the
network society â in that society as such, but also in professional
practice and our education. Nice to meet you! So, what
do we do? Thatâs what this book is about, so weâre not going
to give anything away just yet. Just thinking about our name,
what do you expect we do? Any ideas? Or not a clue at all? If
youâd like to find out,
keep reading to find out what inspires us, what challenges
we face and what drives our curiosity. Some of our ideas
are well-established because weâve been researching them
for years, while other, newer ideas are more challenging to
grasp. This book provides an overview of where we stand in
2018. You could see it as an initial introduction, with the emphasis
on âinitialâ; we work with many different partners, and
we enjoy doing so. Alternatively, you could see it as a calling
card for our research agenda. We sincerely hope that, as a
reader, you feel encouraged to join us in our quest â possibly
towards a joint future
Connecting Our Stories. Inclusion Matters
The Lectorate of Inclusive Education had its official start at the inaugural speech by Aminata Cairo on January 17, 2018. Since then a team of dedicated people have given shape and form to the lectorate. Some have come and gone since then, each contributing in their own way.
Inclusive Education is an elusive term. It is not clear-cut and many people do not know what it means. Inherently it is linked to diversity issues, which have become associated with "having to deal with the other", discrimination, exclusion, and more of such bothersome issues. Inclusion is about doing it however, about making it happen. Inclusive education is about creating optimal learning opportunities to accommodate students of all backgrounds, but requires dealing with those difficult issues. The language is not available, the level of comfort is not available, and so here is a whole lectorate dedicated to dealing with this pesky implication that somehow we are not doing something right.
That is one way of looking at it. There is some truth in that as well. As successful as our educational systems have been throughout hundreds of years, we now acknowledge that it has not been successful for all who attempt to partake and not necessarily due to their lack of effort. So, somehow we have fallen short. Who wants to talk about that?
We need to talk about that, but how? We need to have the sensitivity that the conversation might be difficult and complex. We need to acknowledge that the conversation might require us to open up and be vulnerable. We need to be brave, but the conversation must happen. In this volume the members of the knowledge circle and student branch have taken a first step. The assignment was to write about their involvement with the lectorate, but to share where their passion came from. There is a reason why you are so passionate about this (difficult) topic, something about your story that drives you to want to do this. Share that.
It was not an easy task for all, even if only in one paragraph. After all, it requires one to open a window into one's soul. We cannot expect and lead people into the difficult conversations if we are not willing to lead by example. As you will see, they lived up to the task. Hoping that our first step will be an inspiration for you to take the next
