Pijeira-Díaz, Héctor J.; van de Pol, Janneke; Channa, Faisal; de Bruin, Anique – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
The accuracy of students' relative comprehension judgments when reading texts is typically rather low. This has been ascribed to students grounding their comprehension judgments on cues that are not diagnostic of their actual comprehension level. Asking students to complete causal diagrams--a diagramming scaffold--before judging comprehension has…

The purpose of the study reported here was to observe the effects of examination practices on the extent to which university students procrastinate.

Wanrooij, Karin; Raijmakers, Maartje E. J. – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2020
Previous work suggests that adolescents are still refining acoustic-phonetic cue use in clear-speech perception. This study shows adolescents' immature perception of reduced speech, in which speech sounds are naturally deleted and merged within and across words. German adults and 16-year-olds listened to either German reduced or unreduced (few or…

This study examines factors that deter students in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands from studying abroad. Using an adaptation of the Rubicon model of action phases, the path to gaining study abroad experience is conceptualised as a process involving two thresholds: the decision threshold and the realisation threshold. Theoretical…

Data use is becoming more important in higher education. In this case study, a team of teachers from a teacher education college was supported in data-based decision making by means of the data team procedure. This data team studied the reasons why students drop out. A team's success depends in part on whether the team is able to develop and apply…

Thompson, Robin L.; Vinson, David P.; Vigliocco, Gabriella – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Signed languages exploit the visual/gestural modality to create iconic expression across a wide range of basic conceptual structures in which the phonetic resources of the language are built up into an analogue of a mental image (Taub, 2001). Previously, we demonstrated a processing advantage when iconic properties of signs were made salient in a…

A small proportion of deaths result from the use of drugs with the intention to hasten death without an explicit request of the patient. Additional insight into its characteristics is needed for evaluating this practice.

The new strategic planning system in Dutch higher education is described and the usefulness of strategic planning in higher education institutions in general is discussed.
