Successful innovations can stimulate other teachers to experiment and improve their educational practice. This requires that innovations become known to other teachers. For this reason, a project on good practices in honors education has been started in The Netherlands, where good practices in honors education of universities were described and published on a website of the Dutch Honors Network. Until now, 19 good practices are described, 17 from The Netherlands and two from the United States. Nine are selected for this issue. In this introductory paper, the good practice project and research about good practices are described. Different views and principles about honors education are discussed. A series of keywords to bridge the different views and the principles with the nine good practices published in this issue are presented. An analysis of the collected data of the good practices is carried out, followed by conclusions, discussions, and reflections. It appears that six good practices already led to innovations elsewhere in curricula.","PeriodicalId":32661,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Honors Council","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46295910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jones","doi":"10.31378/JEHC.85","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31378/JEHC.85","url":null,"abstract":"Project-based learning (PjBL) is a philosophy of teaching and learning that includes a framework for how we will organize education in the future, according to Markham (2012). The framework involves interdisciplinary knowledge construction while completing a social activity that builds context-dependent self-awareness of learning and knowing (Tamim and Grant, 2013). For clarity purposes, we distinguish between project-based learning and problem-based learning (PBL). While there are many similarities between the two approaches, they both engage students in authentic tasks, are open-ended, involve collaboration, and simulate professional environments, the two approaches differ slightly. According to Donnelly and Fitzmaurice (2005), the key difference lies in the focus of the two strategies. In PjBL, the end artifact developed in the course is the driver of the course planning, implementation, and the evaluation process, while, in PBL, the primary focus of the learning process is on the inquiry (rather than the end product).","PeriodicalId":32661,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Honors Council","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48515109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
