Rebecca is bij het Platfrom Bèta Techniek o.a. verantwoordelijk voor het onderzoeksprogramma. Zij is zeer sterk in het formuleren van voor het Platform relevante onderzoeksvragen, en het kiezen en begeleiden van bureaus bij het uitvoeren van de hierop gebaseerde onderzoeken. Binnen het Platform is zij de deskundige op het gebied van cijfers. Gecombineerd met haar parate kennis van onderzoeksresultaten weet zij zowel intern als voor externen snel vragen te beantwoorden. En mocht zij onverhoopt geen antwoord kunnen geven, dan weet zij altijd binnen haar netwerk wel iemand te vinden die dit wel kan of bereid is vlot een antwoord te (onder)zoeken. Als eindverantwoordelijke voor het Sprint Programma ben ik bijzonder tevreden over de manier waarop en de snelheid waarmee zij ons team ondersteunt met haar expertise.

It's a pleasure to work with Rebecca. As "programma regisseur onderzoek" (research director) she developed - with her sound and thorough methodological knowledge and critical though constructive work attitude - towards the scientific conscience of the Platform Beta Techniek.

      The IB continuously updates the curricula of all the diploma subjects every seven years. I am involved in this process as an educational researcher advising on how to assess desired learning outcomes. In the IB, the learner profile (www.ibo.org/programmes/profile/documents/Learnerprofileguide.pdf) has been adopted as a unifying principle for all four educational programmes (PYP, MYP, DP and IBCC). This profile sets high goals for the outcome of an IB education and requires assessing not only higher order thinking skills, but illusive outcomes of "Bildung" or a liberal arts education as becoming a responsible, principled, open-minded and caring person who would take action if improve the world. These goals in particular have proven difficult to define and assess, and seem to require a sophistication of thinking which is an unusual educational aim for the age range (6 to 19 years). Helping curriculum developers to improve teaching, learning and assessment aimed at these outcomes is what makes my new position so exciting and challenging. Show less
