Adaptive Expertise Assessment

Adaptive expertise verwijst naar het vermogen van individuen om hun kennis op innovatieve wijze te hercombineren om onbekende problemen op te lossen. Deze vaardigheid is essentieel voor interdisciplinair werken, en het effectief aanpakken van grote maatschappelijke uitdagingen. Wat Op deze pagina zijn te vinden: • Adaptive Expertise scenario’s. Deze kunnen ingezet worden om de adaptive expertise van studenten te meten. • Een link naar een voorbeeldassessment waarin de Adaptive Expertise scenario’s worden gebruikt. Binnenkort verschijnt op deze pagina een link naar een boekhoofdstuk waarin de theoretische achtergrond en toepassing van de Adaptive Expertise scenario’s worden toegelicht. Voor wie De materialen zijn bedoeld voor onderwijskundig adviseurs, beleidsmakers, curriculumontwikkelaars, docenten en onderzoekers in het hoger onderwijs, met name binnen interprofessionele en praktijkgerichte opleidingen. Waarom Het stimuleren van adaptive expertise draagt bij aan de ontwikkeling van veerkrachtige, reflectieve en lerende studenten en professionals. Door adaptive expertise te meten kunnen docenten beter inspelen op hoe studenten zich ontwikkelen als oplossers van maatschappelijke problemen buiten hun eigen kennisdomain.

Genetics for Everyone

Genetics is one of the fastest developing areas of natural sciences, which brings more and more knowledge and important information to our society. This information reaches us through scientists, physicians and other experts in the form of prenatal diagnostics, the latest trends in the field of healthy living, new possibilities for personalised disease therapy, modern methods in criminology etc. The correct understanding of scientific and technical procedures, which include personalised medicine or the use of genetically modified organisms, places increasing demands on every member of modern society. The rational response of all of us to the challenges associated with these technologies, as to the understanding of global pandemics or the climate crisis, thus requires an increasingly strong voice of educated experts and a cultured dialogue between experts and the public. The effort of today's educational institutions to provide quality information is additionally complicated by the spread of fake news, hoaxes and the distortion of reality by non-expert Internet debaters. If our interest is to teach people to critically accept the information that directly affects them and not to be swayed by half-truths and conspiracy theories, a strong foundation in genetics is a necessity today. This book is intended for teachers of biology students, students of biological and non-biological fields, as well as those interested in genetics from the public. Its aim is to bring the basic genetic principles and discoveries closer together and to discuss them in the context of current events. The book also provides information on the use of knowledge from genetics in other fields, including medicine, criminology, pharmacy and history.

Landscapes | Contested GM Worldviews - (Andrew Flachs)

An article in Scientific American (https://edu.nl/4r6q7) bringing a science and technology studies lens to Genetically Modified Organisms, provoked louder than normal responses from the pro biotech crowd. What can we learn from the exchange? Dr Andrew Flachs, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Purdue University, studied the role of seeds on farmer livelihoods in rural India as part of his book, Cultivating Knowledge. We discuss the arguments of the article and its malcontents to try and reach a broader understanding of what this debate is really about. Episode Links Andrew Flachs personal website.
