Abstract:InleidingAchtereenvolgende regeringen hebben Nederland willen toerusten voor een positie in de voorhoede van kenniseconomieën (Ministerie van OCW, 2007. Als toekomstbeeld voor 2025 schetste de minister van OCW in de Strategische Agenda (Ministerie van OCW, 2011, p. 5) een studiecultuur aan hogescholen en universiteiten die zich kenmerkt door "uitdaging, presteren en het maximale uit je studie en je vermogens halen. De lat ligt hoger en de student die daar niet overheen kan springen, zal zijn ambities moeten bi… Show more
“…This question was answered through qualitative interviews with the four most important findings being: 1. The positive value of the interest network (van Poucke, 1979), with regards to acceptance and inclusion, were strengthened by the homophily that tends to be part of honors culture and the motivations of the students to participate (Tiesinga & Wolfensberger, 2014). 2.…”

“…The interviews made clear that the CoTalent project combined group heterogeneity and homogeneity, which made it possible for participants to gain new information and perspectives in a safe environment by combining homophily and heterophily (Kandel, 1966;Mollenhorst, Völker & Flap, 2008;Grant, 2020). Homogeneity was mainly seen in the level of education of the participants and their general interest in the subject of (honors) education (8/8 interviewees) (Tiesinga & Wolfensberger, 2014). The mindset of the students was similar as well in the sense that they were motivated to learn and challenge themselves (7/8 interviewees).…”
The CoTalent project is a unique collaboration between eight universities (of applied sciences) throughout Europe funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Commission. The objective of the CoTalent project was to use co-creation with teachers and students in order to create tools that would support higher education to foster and recognize talented students. Three toolsets were made with a total of around 920 students and teachers via workshop weeks and so-called multiplier event. This current research projects the impact of the student participants through a social network theory perspective to look at what the co-creation of the CoTalent project can do for them in their professional career (including their education). By conducting eight interviews with the student participants, it became clear the CoTalent network was a unique network that shares the characteristics of both strong- and weak ties. The members involved were of many cultures and origins but simultaneously of a similar mindset which made for a fertile network in terms of productivity to complete the tasks at hand and in terms of the student participant their experience. The participating students mainly experienced growth in soft skills and gained new perspectives through the diverse set of actors involved.

“…To define the concept of 'Culture of Excellence', the present study started with a broad literature review, which included both policy papers and academic publications on 'school culture' and 'excellence'. We found one study that attempted to measure culture of excellence in Higher Education (Tiesinga & Wolfensberger, 2014). It focused on the culture within honors programs as measured by attitudes and characteristics of honors students.…”
