| Abstract: | Insights on the development of primary school student’s executive function skills can be obtained by structurally monitoring. The aim of the current study is on designing a new observation and registration instrument that can be used for this purpose. To determine which elements the instrument should contain, a needs assessment is conducted among teachers. In general, the results show that the instrument should monitor the executive functions of all students in class, be time efficient, proactive in use, able to be interpreted by teachers themselves, and provide interventions based on the results. Furthermore, five core elements are distinguished by analyzing thematically: 1) information, 2) observation, 3) teacher registration, 4) student registration, and 5) reports. Literature review is performed on the important aspects of these five elements to determine what should be included within each one of them. Subsequently, based on the findings from the needs assessment and literature review, design recommendations are given. To visualize the recommendations, sample pages are designed and a detailed design of the KIJK! Verder – EF instrument is made. An expert focus group has been held to gather feedback on this initial design, whereafter recommendations for the second version of the design are given. |
