Report from the IAS chair in Gent -
Belgium
“Hello from the other side” (Adele)
Filip De FruytNovember 17, 2015, Sao
Paulo
A short wrap-up: some milestones
May 14, 2015: Launch of Edulab 21 in Brazil:
Contract with Ghent University signed in November 2015
Official installation of the IAS chair @ Ghent University on March 2, 2016
In the meantime: recruiting staff:
- Gina Pancorbo- One post-doc vacancy: Interviewing several candidates
Started working on two projects: MySKILLS and BENEFITS: collaborative effort
EDULAB21’s assessment portfolio: Lacks an instrument for formative assessment
Formative assessment: provide input for the learning process
Why do we need such instrument/tool?- Connect with teachers and students- Introduce a common vocabulary- Structure the domain of social-emotional skills/learning- Make social-emotional skill constructs operational and
tangible
MySKILLS: Developing an instrument for formative evaluation of socio-emotional skills
- Development of social-emotional skills is an aim in itself
- Assume that they also impact on (more distal) valued outcomes
Research agenda:
- Describing the associations between SENNA 2.0 scales and (proximal and distal) outcomes
- Learning about SENNA 2.0 skill levels and outcomes to construct (compound) scales
BENEFITS: Linking social-emotional skills to outcomes

We are very happy with this partnership
- First chair @ Ghent by an international NGO- Provides a set of possibilities, both scientifically and
applied- Received very encouraging reactions so far- Will certainly contribute to the international exposure
of EDULAB21, IAS, and eduction in Brazil- We received already requests from Brazilian
researchers to spend a study visit/sabbatical in Ghent- Through EDULAB21 we are partnering with a wide
range of eduction stakeholders in Brazil
