Overview

This volume is constructed around several significant questions, relevant to every honors program and national perspective. These questions are: ""How do various nations view honors education?"", ""How do ideas about honors achievements compare internationally?"", ""Who defines honors education in each nation and how similar are those definitions from place to place?"", and ""What do nations consider most significant when an undergraduate is said to ""graduate with honors""?"" The cross-disciplinary, intersecting epistemology of honors education stands out worldwide. No matter whether it is known as ""honors"", ""honours"" or ""talent-development"", honors education is associated with a student-centric ethos of attainment-setting, and with comprehensive and often creative approaches to teaching and learning. Today, in our more globally connected world, there is good reason to closely and critically consider how an exploration of honors education worldwide can empower both educators and students to match personal and communal aspirations with educational outcomes.
