Dialoogkaarten 'Hoe zie jij talent?'

Dialoog versus discussie Als het doel gericht is om van en met elkaar te leren, door het delen van andere perspectieven, dan draagt het voeren van een dialoog beter bij dan een discussie. Een discussie heeft het karakter van ‘luisteren om te reageren’ eb ‘luisteren om een kritiek punt te zoeken’ of ‘denken in winnen en verliezen’ en ‘gelijk hebben en gelijk krijgen’ en ‘waar en niet waar’. Een dialoog gericht op leren heeft het karakter van ‘luisteren om te begrijpen’, ‘vragen om meer en andere informatie te krijgen’, ‘denken in win-win’, ‘waarderende kijk op verschillen’. Om te zorgen dat er een goede dialoog is tijdens het uitvoeren van de werkvormen, gericht op verbinding en waardering van andere perspectieven, is het aan te raden om basisregels vooraf met de deelnemers af te stemmen. Suggesties voor basisregels zijn: “we streven naar nieuwe verbindingen en inzichten, dat betekent dat we in de ja-en,…’modus zitten en niet in de ‘ja-maar…’modus; dat we luisteren en vragen stellen gericht op begrijpen. We waarderen wat de ander zegt en stellen op zijn minst ons oordeel uit. Stiltes zijn ok.” Het expliciteren van verschil tussen discussie en dialoog en samen opstellen van deze basisregels bevordert eigenaarschap van de afspraken onder de deelnemers.

Wat elke onderwijsprofessional moet weten over VR-simulaties

Traditioneel werden simulaties vooral ingezet voor het trainen van technische en motorische vaardigheden. Tegenwoordig worden simulaties ook steeds vaker gebruikt voor het oefenen van complexe beroepssituaties waarin communicatie, samenwerking en oordeelsvorming centraal staan. Die verbreding is relevant, want veel studenten ervaren een kloof tussen wat ze leren op de opleiding en wat er van hen wordt gevraagd in de praktijk. VR-simulaties kunnen helpen om deze zogenaamde praktijkkloof te overbruggen. Maar hoewel VR-simulaties inmiddels breed kunnen worden ingezet in het onderwijs zijn ze niet automatisch effectief. Voor een optimaal leereffect is een doordachte, doelgerichte aanpak nodig. Het gaat immers niet om de technologie zelf, maar om het versterken van het leerproces. De auteurs bespreken in het whitepaper zeven dingen die elke onderwijsprofessional moet weten over VR-simulaties. Het whitepaper is het resultaat van een samenwerking tussen het lectoraat "Professional Communication in a Digitalizing Society" en het lectoraat "Professionalisering van het Onderwijs".

AI as a science - course manual

AI as a Science aims to highlight how research involving “artificial intelligence” can be considered scientific, and what that means for us as scholars engaged in this — and related — areas of study. During the course, we will explore answers to questions such as: What is AI? What role do scientists play in the development of AI? And vice versa: what role do AI researchers play in the scientific investigations of computation, artificial intelligence, and intelligence more broadly? Do such roles come with responsibilities and ethical duties? We will explore these questions dialogically (i.e., through dialogue, discussions, and presentations), as well as through lectures. Perspectives will include critical, historical, sociological, and philosophical angles. We will touch on: The history of AI, going as far back as ancient Chinese and Greek civilizations; future projections, including the possibility of another "AI winter." Ultimately, you will aim to answer for yourselves: Is AI a science? Can it be? Will it be? The course will be examined through: Group presentation – You will be split into teams to create a presentation (see Presentation). The presentation combines: Group collaboration, An individual (or more than one person’s) presentation (10 minutes max). Final essay – You may choose a topic related to the course and aligned with your background or interests (see Essay). The essay will take the form of a literature review or journal-style article, aiming to: Deepen and/or broaden your knowledge on one or more topics from the course, Allow you to zoom in or out and develop your own unique perspective. Learning Goals: AI as a Science aims to teach you — and for you to teach yourselves — how to: Define science and AI, critically and in your own words. Understand the historical context of AI: When did AI or AI-like disciplines and ideas emerge? Understand the current state of AI and explore possible futures: Is time a flat circle when it comes to recurring “AI winters”?

Week 8: Organising a Case Competition

This final, high-energy lesson—or event—is all about case-solving competitions between students. Format, rules, and possible schedules are all part of this concluding session. A case competition is an inspiring and effective way to conclude a case-cracking training series. It gives students the opportunity to apply their skills in a high-pressure, real-world setting that fosters focus, teamwork, and clear communication under time constraints. Competitions not only allow for immediate feedback and continuous improvement but also mirror the dynamics of real consulting work, where firms compete for projects. Whether students solve a live business challenge or a simulated case, involving industry professionals as judges adds authenticity and depth to the experience. Including a final round enhances learning for all participants—both those presenting and those observing—and helps generate visibility and excitement around the program, inspiring future engagement.

Week 3: Creating and Selecting Options

Around this video, a lesson has been built with specific learning objectives, activities, and supporting materials for students. The next steps in the case-solving cycle are being explained: generating and selecting solutions. Students explore ideation techniques like brainwriting and mind mapping to develop creative, practical ideas. Ground rules help keep the process focused, collaborative, and open. To evaluate ideas, the SFA framework (Suitability, Feasibility, Acceptability) is used to shortlist the most promising options. A real-world example shows how these tools lead to well-founded decisions. Finally, students learn to apply a decision-making matrix to compare options using relevant criteria. This lesson helps students move from insights to action by developing structured, team-driven solutions.
