The Development of a Framework for Teaching Competencies in Saxion Honors Education

Within higher professional education in the Netherlands many honors programs are designed for motivated students who are willing and able to do more than a regular bachelor program can offer. In honors programs, approaches to teaching are becoming more student-centered, which demands different teaching competencies. Therefore, it is necessary to have an adequate framework of teaching competencies that can be used for evaluation and training purposes. The aim of this study was to develop a framework of teaching competencies in honors programs in the Netherlands.
