Learning and Instruction

The  division Learning and Instruction focuses on on questions regarding learning and teaching processes and their effects. Examples include interactions between teachers and students, collaborative learning, e-didactics, formative action, adaptive teaching, motivational teaching, student motivation and student well-being. These issues are not only viewed from the educational discipline, but also from recent insights from related disciplines, such as social and cultural psychology, organizational psychology, and neuropsychology. The division was founded in 1992 and has more than 120 members

The Learning and Instruction division organizes activities twice a year. A relevant and topical issue is central to each activity. The core of the activities is sharing knowledge, visions and experiences, and discussing them critically and creatively. Experts from the Netherlands and abroad are invited to introduce a theme. We are happy to talk to researchers, teachers, students, managers, administrators, educational developers, educational support staff, policy makers and advisers.
