Talent emerging in Learning Communities, exploring the role of peers

Abstract

Poster presentation of proposal of PhD trajectory "Talent emerging in Learning Communities, exploring the role of peers". Talent development for all students in higher education is up on the (inter)national agenda. Talent, from a developmental view, is defined as the potential of individuals to excel in a particular domain given the optimal educational conditions. Within this framework, talent is seen as emergent, distributed and dynamic. This research project aims to contribute to a better understanding of talent emergence and its antecedents, focusing on the role of peers in learning communities in higher education. A mixed-methods approach with a qualitative orientation will be adopted as this is well-suited to explore the intended phenomenon in depth
