De onderzoeksgroep ‘Lerarenopleiding & Professionele Ontwikkeling’ (LOPO) verbonden aan de Vakgroep Onderwijskunde van de Universiteit Gent, presenteert in dit beschouwend artikel evidence-informed strategieën die een mogelijk antwoord kunnen bieden op het huidige lerarentekort. Deze niet allesomvattende strategieën zijn in grote mate gebaseerd op...

A crucial competence for mentor teachers is the ability to analyse classroom practices as they are expected to model effective teaching practices and to provide feedback to student teachers. This ability is referred to in the literature as professional vision. The present study assesses mentor teachers’ (n = 137) professional vision regarding teach...

This study investigated the effectiveness of clinical simulations (CS) as an instructional strategy to prepare student teachers to conduct parent-teacher conferences. A pre-test/post-test study was set up in order to study the impact of online (n = 181) and face-to-face CS (n = 95) on student teachers’ parent-teacher communication competence (PTCC)...

Educating student teachers to teach highly diverse groups of pupils has become one of the central tasks of teacher education programmes. Research on inclusive education has pointed to the need for more studies around student teachers’ inclusive teaching competence. This study explores the extent to which student teachers’ beliefs and self-efficacy...

In deze bijdrage vertrekken we vanuit de belangstelling voor het concept competenties in de lerarenopleiding met daaraan gekoppelde conceptuele en methodologische uitdagingen. Deze uitdagingen verwijzen naar de moeilijkheid om op een valide en betrouwbare wijze competenties te meten en te beoordelen. De intrede van competentiegericht opleiden in de...

De laatste decennia worden scholen en klassen steeds diverser. Lerarenopleidingen worden verantwoordelijk gesteld om toekomstige leraren daarop voor te bereiden. Dat kunnen ze doen door opleidingsmodellen te introduceren waarbij student-leraren de mogelijkheid krijgen om cruciale aspecten van inclusief lesgeven te identificeren en te interpreteren...

The growing diversity in pupil populations poses challenges to the professional development of student teachers. Therefore, teacher preparation has placed sufficient emphasis on the development of student teachers' professional vision in the context of inclusive education. In this study, professional vision refers to student teachers ability to not...

This study reports on the development and validation of a video-based measurement instrument to assess pre-service teachers' (n = 278) professional vision of inclusive classrooms (PVIC). PVIC includes two dimensions of teacher quality that are essential in effective inclusive classrooms: (positive) teacher-student interactions (TSI) and differentia...

Globally, schools and teachers are facing a growing diversity in student populations, which is reflected in worldwide educational policies to implement more inclusive learning environments.
