Abstract Bereavement increases the risk of ill health, but only a minority bereaved suffers lasting health impairment. Because this group is likely to profit from bereavement intervention, early identification important. Previous research limited, because cross sectional designs, small numbers factors, and use single measure outcome. Our longitudinal study avoids these pitfalls by examining impact large set potential factors on grief, depressive symptoms, emotional loneliness, positive mood...

Curriculum alignment is crucial in realizing learning objectives, but higher education the often challenged by practical problems. The adverse effect of misalignment further amplified lack student awareness their position within curriculum. We argue for importance visibility trajectories across curriculum and discuss implementation a digital mapping tool. use four case studies to how tool was employed along themes: development, visibility, assessment, enhancement. This article discusses...

A longitudinal study was conducted among bereaved parents, to examine the relationship between parents' own and their partners' ways of coping in terms constructs loss-orientation restoration-orientation (coping strategies based on bereavement-specific Dual Process Model (Stroebe & Schut, 1999)), psychological adjustment following death child.219 couples participated at 6, 13 20 months post-loss. Use Actor Partner Interdependence within multi-level regression analyses enabled assessment both...

The impact of adult attachment on psychological adjustment among bereaved parents and the mediating effect relationship satisfaction were examined a sample 219 couples parents. Data collection took place 6, 13, 20 months after loss. Use actor partner interdependence model in multilevel regression analysis enabled exploration both individual as well predictors grief depression. Results indicated that more insecurely attached (on avoidance anxiety attachment), higher symptoms Neither pattern...

A longitudinal study was conducted among bereaved parents to examine the relationship between circumstances surrounding death of their child and psychological adjustment. Two hundred nineteen couples participated at 6, 13, 20 months post-loss.

Bereavement research has focused on individual rather than interdependent processes in coping with loss. Yet bereavement takes place a social context, and relationship partners are likely to influence each other’s grieving process.

In recent decades, female students have been more successful in higher education than their male counterparts the United States and other industrialized countries. A promising explanation for this gender gap are differences personality, particularly levels of conscientiousness among women. Using Structural Equation Modeling on data from 4719 Dutch university students, study examined to what extent can account achievement. We also whether role accounting differed with a non-dominant ethnic...

We found that who are more open experience less conscientious likely...

E-learning is increasingly used to support student learning in higher education, facilitating administration of online formative assessments. Although providing diagnostic, actionable feedback generally more effective, current practice, often given the form a simple proportion correctly solved items. This study shows validation process constructing detailed diagnostic information on set skills, abilities, and cognitive processes (so-called attributes) from students’ item response data with...

In this paper, we describe the underlying mechanisms that both facilitate and limit formation of successful educational leadership participants 'Senior Fellow Programme': a professional development programme in conjunction with career track leading up to teaching-focused full professorship. Based on an analysis context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) configuration, conclude three interrelated interacting mechanisms: (1) recognition, (2) reform, (3) responsibility steer way which can shape their...

E-learning is increasingly used to support student learning in higher education. This results huge amounts of item response data containing valuable information about students’ strengths and weaknesses that can be provide effective feedback both students teachers. However, current practice, e-learning often given the form a simple proportion correctly solved items rather than diagnostic, actionable feedback. Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) opportunities model from formative...

Many established parenting programs for children's conduct problems are delivered in groups.Various, and at times conflicting, beliefs exist about whether families fare better groups with parents that more similar to them, or diverse.We set out test these empirically.We integrated data from four trials of the Incredible Years program Netherlands, including 452 (children age 2-10 years) participating 44 groups.We used multilevel regression benefit (or less) when they participate a group them...
