Introduction to Stochastic Hydrology

Hydrologic systems are both complex and extremely heterogeneous in time and space. As hydrological models are simplified versions of reality, their predictions are by definition subject to uncertainty. The field of stochastic hydrology focuses on quantifying this uncertainty along with prediction. This book aims to present an overview of the field of stochastic hydrology at an introductory level. A wide range of topics and methods will be treated, while each topic and method is only treated at a basic level: descriptive statistics; probability and random variables; hydrological statistics and extremes; random functions; time series analysis; geostatistics; forward stochastic modeling; and state prediction and Kalman filtering. The book can be used for a 10-15-week course at third-year undergraduate or first-year graduate level.

Come to Your Senses

Seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, feeling. After early education, sensory skills are rarely trained directly, but most professionals naturally develop them with practice. Come to Your Senses provides direct exercises that will help sharpen your and your students’ senses so that they can utilize them in their professional and personal lives. Senses-based learning is a pedagogical methodology that focuses on exploring and developing sensory awareness and skills, and critically reflecting on their importance in education, research and professional practice. Based on the research carried out at Maastricht University between 2021 and 2024, Emilie Sitzia, Elene Kadagidze and Tânia A. Cardoso show how to use your senses in a fun, visual manner. From Cookie Explosions and Visual Journalism to Sensory Mapping, with unique exercises different experts this guide demonstrates how to implement senses-based learning in your classes or everyday life. This open textbook functions as a manual on how to implement senses-based learning within and outside academia. Come to Your Senses re-balances and reasserts the importance of sensory skills in tertiary education and professional practice through interventions in the existing curriculum in the form of designed learning units, learning resources and activities.

Docenthandleiding: Leefstijl, preventie en voorlichting

Deze module biedt inzicht in het bevorderen van een gezonde leefstijl en het voorkomen van ziekten. De vaardigheden die in deze module geleerd worden, stellen leefstijlprofessionals in staat effectieve interventies te ontwerpen en toe te passen die bijdragen aan het herstel van gezondheid en het bevorderen van een gezonde leefstijl. Als professional beweeg je je in een maatschappij en zorgsector, waarin het denken in termen van zorg en ziekte verschuift naar denken in gedrag en gezondheid. Wellicht draag je bij aan het bevorderen van gezondheid van mensen door het ondersteunen van hun zelfmanagement. Waar mogelijk betrekt je de naasten en/of mantelzorg actief en waar mantelzorg ontbreekt, legt je contact met- of initieert je een sociaal netwerk rondom de patiënt. Je houdt daarbij rekening met de individuele mogelijkheden, fysieke (leef)omgeving, sociale relaties, cultuur en leefstijl. Met behulp van gezondheidsmodellen en de eerste vier stappen van Intervention Mapping (IM) zullen evidence-based interventies ontwikkeld worden. Deze module bestaat uit twee leerlijnen, de theorie- & toepassingslijn en een themalijn met daarin o.a. communicatieve vaardigheden lessen. De theorie- & toepassingslijn bestaat uit 8 bijeenkomsten waarin de studenten werken aan het toepassen van de stappen van intervention mapping. De themalijn bestaat uit 6 bijeenkomsten waarin de studenten eerst naar hun eigen gedrag kijken en vervolgens oefenen met hun gespreksvaardigheden t.a.v. het ondersteunen van een zorgvrager bij een gedragsverandering.

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.

Het butterfly-effect van taal of: een dynamische visie op taaldidactiek

De theorie van de complexe dynamische systemen heeft inmiddels ook in het taalonderzoek een plek gekregen. Deze bijdrage is bedoeld als een verkennende studie van een dynamische visie op taaldidactiek. Om te beginnen schetsen we aantal kernbegrippen uit de theorie van complexe dynamische systemen besproken in relatie tot taaldidactiek. Vervolgens illustreren we de theorie aan de hand van de interactie tussen een jong kind (4;11 jr) en een volwassene in een taakje waarin het kind Karolien speelgoeddieren probeert te classificeren. Met behulp van autonomie-ondersteunende, onderzoekende vragen van de volwassene maakt de leerling in een cyclisch proces belangrijke leerstapjes in haar taalontwikkeling. Een belangrijk thema hierbij is de wijze waarop taal zich als een vlinder uit de bekende ‘butterfly-metafoor” zich door verschillende ecosystemen van Karolien beweegt. Hierdoor ontwikkelt betekenis zich bij haar idiosyncratisch tot een krachtig linguïstisch, dynamisch systeem. Een ander thema is de dynamische rol van suprasegmentele informatie (= s.s.i.: rijm, ritme, klemtoon, zinsmelodie). Als onderdeel van het dynamische fonologische systeem draagt s.s.i bij aan de leerbaarheid van taalstructuur. Aansluitend bespreken we de dynamische ontwikkeling van het leren lezen en schrijven op de impact van geletterdheid in onze samenleving. In de voorlaatste paragraaf van deze bijdrage brengen we deze theoretische verkenning in de praktijk aan de hand van een aantal aanbevelingen.
