Op deze pagina vindt u alle informatie van CEGO Onderzoek & Ontwikkeling.EXE answers the key question about ‘quality' by pointing to indicators that help us to sense if what we are doing (context) is leading to somewhere (outcomes). It considers two variables as key indicators for the ‘power' of the learning environment: the degree of ‘emotional well-being' and the level of ‘involvement' (intense mental activity) of the learners. These are the touchstones to create an effective educational context. Several variants of the Leuven Involvement Scale have been developed to cover a wide array of settings, from the care for babies/toddlers up to professionals in in-service training. Together with instruments for the assessment of ‘well-being' these involvement scales are at the center of diverse child/student monitoring systems, instruments for self-evaluation of settings/ schools, and procedures for self-rating of involvement and well-being by children, students and professionals – all as part of overall quality assessment and improvement.The expertise has been broadened to the output of education. This research is guided by the concept of ‘deep-level-learning'. The framework for this rests on the Piagetian concept of ‘schema' a basis to map competencies and dispositions. Both at the level of concepts, instruments and guidelines for practice, expertise has been developed with regard to life skills, competencies, dispositions and talents in a wide range of areas, with a special interest for the exploratory drive, intuition and creativity, the understanding of the physical world (including technology), social competence and mental health, and self-organization & entrepreneurship.
