Sustainable supply chain governance approaches aim for improvement of environmental and community living conditions at the developing country's side of the global supply chains. Impact evaluation in remote and multiple sourcing countries is hardly done in practice because of its complexity and costs. Evaluating the impact potential with this methodology enables an easier route for assessing and comparing the fast growing number of standard systems. This article describes a methodology for assessing the system performance and impact potential of 'sustainable supply chain governance (SSCG) systems' and uses two cases of certifying sustainable products in the coffee sector (Fairtrade and Utz Certified) for verification of the method. The approach rests on the assumption that a certification system can have substantial impact reduction if it is well organised in its content and organisation: the governance system impact potential (GSIP). Two exemplary pilot cases show that changes made over the years in both systems are directly visible with the methodology and it can be used for monitoring the progress in markets for sustainable products
Perceived educators’ roles in student well-being in higher education
This study addresses the role of teachers in students’ well-being in higher education, which has not been well defined in the literature. A qualitative study was conducted at a Dutch university of applied sciences. It explores student beliefs about educators’ roles in their well-being, and the requirements to fulfil such roles. In total, 27 students were interviewed. The variety in beliefs were reason to discuss results of the semi-structured interviews in a group discussion (n = 4). Thematic analysis of results shows that students distinguish between tutors and teachers and perceive tutors as the most crucial figures. The study identifies four roles: confidant, linking pin, a monitoring role (all three for tutors only), and a signaller role for both tutors and teachers. Requirements mentioned include the following: a close and informal teacher—student relationship, availability of time and timing of contacts, ability to provide structure, empathic attitude for both tutors and teachers and a high level of dependability mentioned for tutors only. Furthermore, findings suggest that students especially need involvement that targets their emotional needs and, to a lesser extent, their intellectual needs. Findings also show diversity in needs and preferences and highlight the importance of managing student expectations.</p
Succesvolle aanpakken mbo-studenten in kwetsbare posities:Een literatuurverkenning naar werkzame elementen
Succesvolle aanpakken mbo-studenten in kwetsbare posities:Een literatuurverkenning naar werkzame elementen
Deze literatuurverkenning is uitgevoerd als onderdeel van het onderzoek naar succesvolle aanpakken in het mbo (NJi, ECBO, 2020). Aan dit onderzoek nemen vijf roc’s deel die samen twee typen interventies uitvoeren. Beide interventies zijn gericht op een integrale aanpak ter bevordering van een succesvolle leer- en arbeidsloopbaan van jongeren in kwetsbare posities op mbo-niveau 1 en 2. Hun (eerste) ervaringen zijn positief. Maar wat veroorzaakt het succes van hun aanpak? Daarover gaat deze literatuurverkenning. Deze verkenning is een van de publicaties binnen het onderzoek. Een eindrapportage wordt verwacht eind 2022. In deze rapportage wordt met een brede blik beschreven welke factoren worden gevonden in onderzoek. Hierna zullen de bevindingen uit de literatuur getoetst en gekoppeld worden aan de in de praktijk gevonden ‘werkzame elementen’ zoals die genoemd worden door studenten en professionals van de betrokken roc’s. Uiteindelijk doel is hun integrale aanpakken te versterken en breder in te zetten. Het onderzoek is gefinancierd door het Nationaal Regieorgaan Onderwijsonderzoek (NRO). Aan het onderzoek is een academische begeleidingscommissie verbonden (zie colofon). We danken deze commissie voor haar bijdrage aan het onderzoek
