Constructing Melchior Lorichs's 'Panorama of Constantinople'

In Constructing Melchior Lorichs's Panorama of Constantinople, Nigel Westbrook, Kenneth Rainsbury Dark, and Rene Van Meeuwen propose that Melchior Lorichs's 1559 Panorama of Constantinople was created by using a viewing grid. The panorama is thus a reliable graphic source for the lost or since-altered Ottoman and Byzantine buildings of the city. The panorama appears to lie outside the conventional symbolic mode of topographical depiction common for its period and constitutes a rare "scientific" record of an encounter of a perspicacious observer with a vast subject. The drawing combines elements of allegory with extensive empirical observation. Several unknown structures, shown on the drawing, have been located in relation to the present-day topography of Istanbul, as a test-case for further research

PRELIMINARY REVISIONS OF SOME GENERA OF MALAYSIAN PAPILIONACEAE IV - A REVISION OF ORMOSIA

In this revision 11 species have been admitted for the Malaysian Archipelago, including 0. stipidacea which is described as new, from Brunei. A key, synonymy, and distribution are given. Ten species and one variety are reduced; three of these reductions (under O. macrodisea) are tentative, as of two of them no types were available. Another species, 0. villamilii Merr., is reduced to Pericopsis moonii. O. scandens, of which I ' have also seen no material, I have not been able to place; its pod is unknown

PRELIMINARY REVISIONS OF SOME GENERA OF MALAYSIAN PAPILIONACEAE I

The revisions have been performed by Miss M. S. van Meeuwen (Pycnospora, Smithia, Uraria), H. P. Nooteboom (Galactia, Moghania, Rhynehosia, Stylosanthes, Zornia), and C. G. G. J. van Steenis (Cyclocarpa, Neocollettia)

Self-directed learning in adaptive training systems: A proposition for shared control

Van Meeuwen, L. W., Brand-Gruwel, S., Van Merriënboer, J. J. G., Kirschner, P. A., & De Bock, J. J. P. R. (2010, April). Self-directed learning in adaptive training systems: A proposition for shared control. Poster presented at 1st International Air Transport and Operations Symposium. Delft, The Netherlands.In aviation, Air-Traffic Control professionals must be able to adapt to continuing changes in technologies. Professionals in such an environment must learn how to act upon the changes and they must learn how to maintain expertise to meet the skills required in the changed situation. As a consequence they should be able to indentify and study learning materials that fit their learning needs and meet their set learning goals. Learners are called self-directed learners when they can formulate own learning needs, set own learning goals, and can identify human and material resources for an optimal learning process. These skills can be defined as selfdirected learning (SDL) skills and training of these skills is desired. We focus on SDL skills learners need to develop and we plead for a shared controlled adaptive training system which can support the development of these skills.Kenniscentrum Mainport Schipho

Cued Retrospective Reporting: Measuring Self-Regulated Learning

Van Meeuwen, L. W., Brand-Gruwel, S., Kirschner, P. A., De Bock, J. J. P. R., & Van Merriënboer, J. J. G. (2012, april). Cued retrospective reporting: Measuring self-regulated learning. Paper presented at the AERA annual meeting, Vancouver, B. C.Self-regulated learning (SRL) skills are especially important in professions where the half-life of initial training and education is short and where knowledge and skill obsolescence is quick. An example of just such a profession can be found in the constantly evolving field of Air Traffic Control (ATC), and thus SRL skills are essential for ATC trainees. If Air Traffic Controllers are to become and remain competent we must gain insight into how ATC trainees regulate their learning during task performance, how the acquisition of SRL skills can be stimulated, and thus how this can be measured. This study examines the use of cued retrospective reporting to measure learners’ SRL activities during the execution of complex ATC tasks. Results show that cued retrospective reporting is a workable method for measuring an extensive collection of regulation activities of ATC trainees. Further, relation between ATC task performances and SRL activities and other relating learner characteristics (i.e. Self-directed learning skills and the learners self-efficacy beliefs) were found.Knowledge & Development Centre, Mainport Schipho
