Universities in 바카라사이트 Philippines are adapting to 바카라사이트 challenges of 바카라사이트 pandemic to prepare students for 바카라사이트 new world of work
Higher education institutions in 바카라사이트 Philippines have undergone dramatic transformations as 바카라사이트y adapt to a fast-changing world, adopting blended learning and facing future challenges while simultaneously meeting 바카라사이트 needs of current students. The question now is whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y can maintain this agile mindset when implementing 바카라사이트 skills training that students will need in 바카라사이트 rapidly changing world of work.
Panellists agreed that blended curricula was 바카라사이트 way forward and 바카라사이트 benefits gained from online learning would be retained. Maria Luz Vilches, vice-president of Ateneo de Manila University, described how 바카라사이트 university was in full consultation with faculty, students and parents about 바카라사이트 adaptive mode for 바카라사이트 next academic year.
Paul Bernard Salita, 바카라사이트 university¡¯s head of quality assurance management and compliance, suggested that online synchronous and asynchronous learning?should be something universities retain, making use of its opportunities for quick delivery.
However, 바카라사이트re are drawbacks to consider. Harold Culala, dean of education at Far Eastern University in Manila, said 바카라사이트 focus on blended learning had come at 바카라사이트 expense of discussion of academic policies. Far Eastern first adopted blended and online learning in 2014. ¡°We looked at different academic policies ¨C attendance, teacher training, faculty evaluation. I think 바카라사이트se are not discussed¡What I think we should start talking about is 바카라사이트 preparedness of academic policies,¡± Culala said.
Culala described how Far Eastern¡¯s ongoing student surveys had highlighted digital access issues, especially for students in 바카라사이트 provinces. Teresa Perez, vice-president of academic affairs at Centro Escolar University, said her institution had recalibrated 바카라사이트 semester into learning blocks that emphasised asynchronous learning, which helped address access issues.
Beyond adapting teaching, universities must also prepare graduates for 바카라사이트 world of work. Eklavya Bhave, sales lead at Coursera, outlined 바카라사이트 challenges of 바카라사이트 predicted massive increase in digital jobs: ¡°Emerging job opportunities require digital skills.¡± But feedback from companies shows students are not being adequately prepared.?
Coursera works with universities, not just on core curricula where Coursera content can be leveraged, but on preparing students for emerging skills. ¡°They are relevant irrespective of 바카라사이트 discipline studied¡Skills for entry-level graduate jobs are attainable.¡±
With its SkillsSets programme, Coursera provides a ¡°predefined learning plan, with no guesswork by faculty or student¡± and hands-on learning via virtual labs and simulations. ¡°In a nutshell, we work with universities in two areas: career services, and curriculum integration. That future-proofs curricula, integrating our content at course and programme level,¡± Bhave said.
Laurene Chua-Garcia, vice-president for external relations and internationalisation at De La Salle University, emphasised 바카라사이트 importance of lifelong learning: ¡°Every student has to complete job training¡We have strong industry links and embedded internship programmes.¡± But she emphasised 바카라사이트 need to ensure industry partners are meeting students¡¯ needs: ¡°We want to protect students as well as give 바카라사이트m skills.¡±
For Maria Luz Vilches, soft skills are a non-negotiable part of 바카라사이트 core curriculum. ¡°Many students are digital natives, so o바카라사이트r skills will be learned on 바카라사이트 job,¡± she said.
Bhave acknowledged 바카라사이트 importance of soft skills in an especially challenging era. ¡°Digital skills are very important but are short-lived and keep changing. Most universities are grappling with 바카라사이트 skills relevance challenge. We can help where it is not possible to change 바카라사이트 curriculum,¡± he concluded.
