In gesprek met ouders over de rol van de brugfunctionaris
Ouderbetrokkenheid draagt bij aan de ontwikkeling van kinderen. In de Gelderse Vallei werken basisscholen sinds 2024–2025 met brugfunctionarissen om de verbinding tussen school, thuis en zorg te versterken. Dit onderzoek richt zich op het perspectief van ouders, dat in eerder onderzoek onderbelicht bleef. Met behulp van een praatplaat zijn tien ouders geïnterviewd. Ouders ervaren versterkende factoren voor ouderbetrokkenheid in het contact met brugfunctionarissen: vertrouwen en toegankelijkheid, verbinding en praktische ondersteuning. Brugfunctionarissen vormen op deze manier een brug tussen ouders en zorg. Hun rol vraagt om verdere rolverheldering en borging, zodat deze ondersteuning ook na de subsidieperiode kan voortbestaan.

Universities offering teacher training programmes have been criticized for decades for failing to provide preservice teachers with sufficient training in multicultural teaching competences. To develop these competencies, universities are now advised to provide programs that facilitate interethnic contact between preservice teachers and pupils during internships or community-based exposure. Based on the literature, it was hypothesized that contact experiences should occur both within and beyond school settings and should extend over a prolonged period of time. This study aims to reveal the potential role of different types of interethnic contact for multicultural teaching competences among second-year preservice teachers using a repeated measures design. The findings show the crucial role of previous interethnic contact in the neighbourhood over an extended period of time on the perceived quality of multicultural teaching competences of preservice teachers.

This essay explores the implications of (generative) artificial intelligence (AI) for education, particularly in primary education. While AI can improve efficiency and support various educational processes, the rapid integration of technology in classrooms calls for a deeper consideration of which aspects of education should and should not be assigned to AI. Drawing on thinkers such as E.D. Hirsch, Thomas Pfau, and Simone Weil, I argue that the acquisition of knowledge is not merely instrumental but foundational to critical thinking, moral development, and human flourishing. Increasing reliance on AI may undermine human capacities such as memory, attention, and moral judgment, which are essential to the good life. The essay questions whether the promise of personalized learning via AI might actually contribute to cultural fragmentation, inequality, and a diminished capacity for attention. Rather than rejecting technology outright, I advocate for a more deliberate approach that prioritizes human formation and flourishing. Ultimately, the essay calls for educators and policymakers to rethink the role of AI in education, not only in terms of how we use it but also in terms of whether its integration aligns with the deeper purposes of education in a democratic and humane society.

The present paper aims to examine how teachers contribute to social cohesion in terms of the three dimensions: social relations, group identification, and the common good. A qualitative study was conducted using interviews with teachers and students and observations in two Dutch secondary schools with diverse student populations. The results showed that the dimension most often addressed was the dimension of social relations, and teachers seemed to focus on individual students more than on the group as a whole. Bridging home and school, and group formation were main themes in the dimension of group identification. The main theme in the dimension of the common good was teacher practices with regard to rules, in which fairness was an important topic for students. The three dimensions of social cohesion are inter-related and should be considered alongside each other when schools are committed to strengthening social cohesion.
