Abstract

In this extended abstract, an initial conceptualisation of meta-competences is presented. A case- example from Aalborg University is outlined as one way to enhance meta-competence. In the case-example, students are facilitated to prepare PBL competence profiles. Preliminary findings reading through more than 150 competence profiles show that students hardly touch upon how they adapt and adjust their problem-based learning (PBL) competences to new problems. We end the paper by corroborating the importance of meta-competences, but at the same time we point to the necessity of re-thinking educational practice.
