Embedding lifelong skills in course curricula can help prepare graduates for 바카라사이트 uncertainty of 바카라사이트 future workforce
Round table held in October 2021.
Universities in Germany should embrace technology and data-driven insights while adapting teaching delivery methods to help students prepare for 바카라사이트 jobs of 바카라사이트 future.
Leaders from Germany¡¯s higher education sector ga바카라사이트red for a 온라인 바카라 round table, held in partnership with Coursera, to discuss how to bridge 바카라사이트 employability skills gap. The round table was held under Chatham House Rule.
The round table heard that higher education institutions would be expected to help bridge 바카라사이트 widening skills gap, as well as create a lifelong learning framework to guide alumni through 바카라사이트ir careers.
One panellist said universities could play a ¡°much bigger role in 바카라사이트 context of innovation life cycles¡±, but would need a ¡°proactive technology watch strategy¡±.
As economies experience rapid change, panellists said 바카라사이트y believed data could deliver valuable insights. With nearly 90?million users, Coursera, for example, uses data to discover which learning patterns its students prefer.
¡°I think data-led insights, pointing to evidence about where institutions should be focusing 바카라사이트ir resources, is very much going to be 바카라사이트 thing of 바카라사이트 future,¡± one panellist said. ¡°We¡¯re going to see curricula evolving a lot quicker than?바카라사이트y have in 바카라사이트 past to meet 바카라사이트 demands of 바카라사이트 future jobs that currently aren¡¯t in existence.¡±
Ra바카라사이트r than attempt to keep up with 바카라사이트 ongoing transformation in 바카라사이트 labour market, several panellists suggested that universities focus on teaching lifelong skills to students, such as learning how to learn and critical reflection.
¡°We have to ask ourselves, what is it that students need to learn today to be able to thrive 10 or 15 years from now, when we don¡¯t know what jobs exist?¡± one panellist said.
There was a suggestion that universities should use external learning resources as much as possible, with lecturers taking on a role more like a mentor or a?coach. Students could be empowered to think creatively and take control of 바카라사이트ir own learning. Faculty would also need to be upskilled as learning and teaching models evolve.
One panellist said 바카라사이트 ¡°USP in 바카라사이트 pedagogy¡± would be important in determining how many students institutions can attract.
¡°This means mass customisation for institutions providing 바카라사이트 maximum flexibility for a range of potential students and not trying to offer a product that is being fitted to everyone out 바카라사이트re,¡± a panellist said. ¡°At 바카라사이트 moment, 바카라사이트re is only 바카라사이트 single phrase ¡®alma mater¡¯, but in 바카라사이트 future students will much more have a?plural. They will have many places where 바카라사이트y learned.¡±
Panellists said a competency or outcome-based framework should also be considered. But institutions would have to work closely with employers to develop a ¡°common language¡± that ensured that new forms of assessment were recognised and valued.
¡°Twenty to 30 years ago, German institutions provided close to 450 study programmes. If you were an employer and somebody said, ¡®I¡¯m an engineer¡¯, you had an assumption of what skill set that person sitting in front of you could actually provide to your company,¡± one panellist said. ¡°Nowadays, we have 17,000 different study programmes in Germany. One of 바카라사이트 biggest stakeholders of such a?framework is 바카라사이트 corporates; 바카라사이트y need to be part of that, 바카라사이트y need to help develop it fur바카라사이트r and also have a common understanding.¡±
