Client: Segbroek College The Hague
A few years ago, the flex-hours system was introduced at Segbroek College in The Hague: students can choose which subject they want to follow for five lesson hours per week. The flex-hours can also be used for self-study.
Challenge
Investigate the effect of the flex-hours system
Approach
Systemically mapping the school and making the effect of the flex-hours system visible
Stakeholder mapping, interviews, intervention points. First, we determined how to measure success. ‘Sense of ownership over one’s own learning’ became the benchmark. We defined what this means.
Uitkomsten
- The school management became aware of the system;
- The punishment-based system changed to a system focused on rewards and independence;
- Improved communication towards students;
- Made it easier for students to book their own lessons;
- No more mixing of students from different years and levels in the same flex-hour.
