The question that started it all

“Can you measure motivation in students — and capture it in a meaningful way?”

These days, mentors can see exactly which students are getting a real grip on their own learning, and how far along they are.

Data for self-regulated learning

A few insights for WD3 over the past year:

Consistency of behaviour

Every task and every reflection is logged. So the pattern shows up on its own: who keeps at it, and who quietly drops off?

A shared sense of quality

Not just how often a student reflects, but how well. Teachers can see whether a goal is concrete and ambitious enough, whether a plan is realistic, and whether a reflection actually says something.

Competencies as personal tools

For every task, students choose which competencies they're working on. A competency isn't only the result of learning — it's also a tool. Something to lean on when things get hard.

Head, hands and heart: what you know, what you can do, and who you become. Talent Tree shows how the three grow together — exactly as WD3 set out to do.

What others say

I now have more structure and overview of what I'm working on.

Talent Tree helps me get everything in order. It feels good to know what I've already achieved.

Bas, 14 · Student (havo/vwo)
This way I don't mind keeping my log and reflecting.

It's much faster and I find everything more easily. Reflecting is less of a hassle and I actually learn from it.

Lester, 15 · Student (havo/vwo)
Talent Tree works the way we believe we should work ourselves.

The Self-Learning System helps us give shape to our educational vision. It fits perfectly with what we value.
