11. nEUroBlend Presentation, den Bosch, sep 30, 2005 Competence based learning  Learning is aimed at actively constructing knowledge in a meaningful context  A competence is connected to meaningful job/task-specific learning contexts  Competence development requires the use of knowledge, skills and attitudes in an integrated way within an authentic learning environment (e.g. patient video cases, virtual company)  Integrative learning aimed at coherence rather than loose facts  Active reflection  Working together as on the workfloor where possible  Flexible learning paths  Adjusted to needs and EGC’s of individual learner  Competences cannot be learned in one click, they grow in a process  Individual learner is responsible for own learning process  Teacher is facilitator or coach for learning process
