Samenvatting

We present a model of Talent Enhancing Peer-Interaction (TEPI) in higher education. This model assumes that talent: a) is emergenic (i.e., arising from dynamic interactions between individuals and their environment), b) requires ipsative assessment (i.e., focusing on personal growth rather than external standards), and c) is distributed (i.e., an intermental plane of talent is accessible for the internalization of individuals). We emphasize the socially distributed nature of talent, fostered through peer interactions, conceptualizing talent as a potential within all individuals. The phase model illustrates the dynamic interplay of curiosity, regulatory processes, and knowledge construction in six phases. Our presentation will include practical examples for peer interactions, demonstrating the model's applicability in real-world educational settings.
