Education

Good education is essential for the maximum development of individuals, a healthy and resilient economy and labour market, and addressing major societal challenges. That is why Dialogic conducts research on various education themes. Below is an overview of some of our key research themes within this domain.

The right skills needed for today's societal challenges.

Monitoring and Evaluation of Education Policy and Educational Institutions

Good government policy requires effective monitoring and evaluation. For over 25 years, Dialogic has specialised in this area, particularly in the field of education. With a wealth of quantitative expertise, Dialogic makes adept use of education data from sources like CBS. Additionally, Dialogic offers expertise in various evaluation protocols relevant to education, such as SEP, EMTO, RPE, and agency evaluations.

Furthermore, Dialogic conducts evaluations of institutions related to education and can provide support as a secretary for an evaluation committee. Dialogic is well-acquainted with the workings of educational institutions, especially in higher education, and the relationships between educational institutions and stakeholders. We have extensive experience in organising and overseeing site visits.

Digitalisation of Education

Digitalisation presents numerous opportunities and challenges for education. Broadly, digitalisation can be categorised into (1) organisational, (2) teaching, and (3) content aspects of education. Digitalisation is seen as a means to enhance the quality of education, and improve its ability to align with society and the job market, rather than an end goal in itself.

Dialogic regularly conducts exploratory and evaluative research on the use of student data, AI, data-driven support, the development of new forms of education and assessment, and the impact of digitalisation on organisational frameworks within educational institutions.

Internationalisation of Education

Education occurs within an international context, offering significant opportunities to enhance and enrich educational experiences. Dialogic has been researching international collaboration in education and the impact of internationalisation on students, teachers, and institutions for many years. Additionally, Dialogic specialises in conducting international comparisons.

Equal Opportunities in Education

Education can either serve as a driver for equal opportunities or perpetuate inequality. Preventing unequal opportunities is crucial for students and the broader society. Education contributes to individual growth and development, a right that everyone deserves. Equal opportunities are essential from both economic and societal perspectives; given the challenges facing our society, we cannot afford to overlook any talent.

Dialogic conducts research on the causes of equal opportunities and explores potential solutions. Additionally, Dialogic offers expertise in areas closely related to equal opportunities, such as admission and selection processes in education.

Alignment of Education and the Labour Market

A key role of education is to prepare individuals for the workforce, enabling them to further their personal growth and contribute to societal challenges. Dialogic researches the alignment between education and the labour market, including the role of study choices, and monitors this alignment across multiple sectors. Here you can find more information about our research on the labour market.
