"Closeness" between mentor and mentee is previously defined as an important indicator of relationship quality in youth mentoring, but whether this is the case in instrumental mentoring for young adults remains unclear. This is an exploratory study examining how instrumental mentoring serves young adults in their instrumental needs and…

Karijn Aussems; Jet Isarin; Alistair Niemeijer; Christine Dedding – Educational Action Research, 2024
Participatory Action Research (PAR) brings unique ethical challenges. Scholars have developed seven ethical principles to address these challenges. So far, little has been published on how these ethical principles (are put to) work in different fields. We used the principles to evaluate our collaboration with co-researchers with developmental…

Regular evaluation of environmental education is important for quality assurance and the self-assessment of educational institutions such as zoos. However, capacity is often lacking. Therefore, this study presents instruments that can be used to track the impact of educational programs on connection to nature, interest in species conservation,…

Sebrechts, Melissa; Tonkens, Evelien – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Full participation is recognized as fundamental for the inclusion and wellbeing of people with intellectual disabilities.

Three cross-cutting themes that arise in the few studies that have are…

W.; Žukauskiene, Rita – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Evidence suggests an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, particularly among emerging adults. However, theories on altruism born of suffering or adversarial growth suggest that we might also see prosocial behavior as a function of the pandemic, which may protect against mental health challenges. Because cultural values are central in…

Lynn van der Schaaf, A.; Jeschke, Amy M.; Caljouw, Simone R.; Withagen, Rob – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2021
The concept of open functions was introduced to capture an intended feature of van Eyck's seminal play sculptures -- they do not suggest a specific action. In a recent study, Van der Schaaf, A. L., S. R. Caljouw, and R. Withagen. (2020. "Are Children Attracted to Play Elements with an Open Function?" "Ecological Psychology" 32:…

Making better decisions typically requires obtaining information relevant to that decision. Adolescence is marked by increasing agency in decision-making and an accompanying increase in impulsive decisions, suggesting that one characteristic of adolescent decision-making is a tendency to make less-informed decisions. Adolescents could also be…

Siméon T. A. Lahaije; Jorien Luijkx; Aly Waninge; Annette A. J. van der Putten – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Families with a child with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) have to manage the child's pervasive support needs. To ensure that families are able to manage these needs, they should be properly supported. However, knowledge about the specific support needs of these families is sparse and fragmented, nor is it known if and which…

Wielers, Rudi; Hummel, Lisa; van der Meer, Peter – Journal of Education and Work, 2022
Burnout complaints among young workers in The Netherlands are high and increasing. Our research question is whether and how the high burn-out complaints of young workers in the Netherlands are associated with the employment relationships in the flexible labour market. We argue that especially an insecure career perspective contributes to burn-out…
