About the research
We talk a lot about education. But do we listen enough to the people who stand in front of the class every day? 👩🏫📱
Researcher Stéphanie Vanderheeren (Artevelde University of Applied Sciences) and her colleagues launched Teacher Tapp in Flanders for this purpose. In this free app, more than 1,000 people from the education sector – from teachers to principals – answer three short questions every day about classroom practice or current affairs. They also receive inspiring tips and can raise educational issues themselves.
The app thus provides a unique insight into what is going on in education and stimulates discussion, from the staff room to parliament.

High time for tools to help with dyslexia and dyscalculia at school
Every class has at least one student with a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia. Unfortunately, some schools do not always allow these students to use aids such as laptops with reading software or calculators. That is why HOGENT developed ‘Dysparcours’, an empathy tool that helps teachers, care coordinators, and parents to better understand what children with learning disabilities experience.

Math in preschool!
Did you know that preschoolers have a surprisingly good understanding of exponential growth? Hilde Rabaut investigated how picture books and board games can be used to stimulate mathematical thinking in preschool. And that is necessary, because the math results of Flemish schoolchildren have been declining alarmingly for years.
