Vermunt – Higher Education Research and Development, 2024
Higher education (HE) is engaged in a variety of educational innovations, as well as professional development initiatives (PDIs) to support teachers in attaining the required expertise. To improve teacher professional learning and development (PLD) and innovation processes, it is important to understand whether, how and why different PLD practices…

Valentina C. Tassone; Piety Runhaar; Perry den Brok; Harm J. A. Biemans – Higher Education Research and Development, 2024
In response to challenges emerging in society, universities are searching for ways to innovate their courses through novel institutional educational policies and practices. Those efforts, however, are often not informed by knowledge about course innovation characteristics university-wide, and are often not supported by processes of reflection…

Martine Schophuizen; Aodhán Kelly; Caitlin Utama; Marcus Specht; Marco Kalz – Tertiary Education and Management, 2023
Leadership in higher can influence the structurally embedding of educational technologies in higher education institutions. However, HEIs are complex pluralistic organizational environments with loosely coupled systems, diffused power and goal ambiguity which makes governance of educational innovations a wicked problem in which they have to…

Veronica Ski-Berg; Sigrid Røyseng – International Journal of Music Education, 2024
Institutional change is being called for to renew higher music education (HME). But what institutional pressures, specifically, are driving these calls, and how are HME organisations responding to pressures to change? By turning to institutional theory, we lean on the concept of institutional isomorphism to shed light on how HME organisations may…

Enhancing Internationalization by Labels and Certificates: The Power of Voluntary Policy Instruments
Beerkens, Maarja – Journal of Studies in International Education, 2023
About ten years ago, an innovative instrument was developed to promote internationalization in European higher education institutions--"a Certificate for Quality in Internationalization (Cequint)." The initiative fits well the contemporary governance philosophy that promotes voluntary instruments, an individualized approach, and an…

Jeannette Pols; Amade M'charek; Sonja Jerak-Zuiderent; Jonna Brenninkmeijer – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2024
There are worries about the quality of scientific research, the validity of the knowledge it produces and the integrity of academics. What is lacking in the debate is what scientists have to say and what they do to create and safeguard what they see as 'good science'. Using Dutch academia as a case, we show that the academics' understandings of…

This article conceptualises how disruptions to conventional teaching models may lead to innovative practice. We have identified a gap in current knowledge around how innovations in higher education teaching and learning are initiated in times of crises. Disruptive Innovation Theory and Roger's Diffusion of Innovation Theory are used as lenses to…

Pomme van de Weerd – British Educational Research Journal, 2024
Equal opportunities in the context of education can be interpreted as ensuring equitable access to certain kinds of education (e.g. an academic track) or as equal opportunities to lead a fulfilling life regardless of the educational route followed (e.g. vocational or academic). These interpretations are in tension: the former implies a hierarchy…

This study explores the evaluation of research pathways of self-management health innovations from discovery to implementation in the context of practice-based research. The aim is to understand how a new process model for evaluating practice-based research provides insights into the implementation success of innovations. Data were collected from…

Julia L. van Leeuwen; Harmen Schaap; Femke P. Geijsel; Paulien C. Meijer – Professional Development in Education, 2024
Early career teachers (ECTs) are potential resources for educational innovation and development in schools. Innovative professional potential (IPP) emerges in interaction between ECTs and their school ecology. Using semi-structured timeline interviews, we explored 105 IPP experiences of 19 ECTs in the Netherlands, aiming to understand when and how…

Kolster, Renze – European Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Excellence ('honours') programmes are a relatively new way in Dutch higher education institutions to serve the needs of talented and ambitious students, but may also serve as a testing ground for educational innovations. Using the structural ambidexterity concept, this paper investigates if and how excellence education functions as explorative…

Rymarzak, Malgorzata; den Heijer, Alexandra; Arkesteijn, Monique; Du Preez, Mathilda – Higher Education Quarterly, 2023
Campus decision makers are increasingly expected to adopt 'campus innovations' (affecting real estate and different facilities), not only from the market and demand-led (external campus innovations), but also developed by the university's own scientists (internal campus innovations). The adoption of the latter can be driven and hindered by many…

Robert Farrow; Paz Díez-Arcón – Open Praxis, 2024
Open educational resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are either in the public domain or published on an open licence which permits various forms of redistribution, reuse and repurposing. Many organisations and higher education institutions around the world are using such resources, and anecdotally many believe this is…
