Why Should Universities Respond to the

job market?

• Universities no longer acceptable as ivory towers

• Universities are responsible for developing teachers and researchers to increase knowledge

• But, their prime customers: graduates and families, judge value of any university's degree by success it brings to graduates.

• In most societies, this means attractive jobs for graduates.

• So success for a university in a practical sense means jobs!

13

Shifting Center of Economic Gravity from West

to East; Implications for Future Jobs and

Higher Education • This shift is no longer news

• Longer-term forecasts by OECD suggest that today’s developing and emerging countries now contributing 40% of world GDP are likely to account for 60% by 2030.

• China is already the #2 world economy

• India, Korea, Indonesia, Viet Nam, others are all in the run

• Africa is the sleeping giant. With vast resources and young HR it represents huge potential

• Question is what are the implications for emerging economies?

14

Shifting Center of Economic Gravity from West

to East; Implications for Future Jobs and

Higher Education

• “In a highly competitive globalised economy, knowledge, skills and know-how are key factors for productivity, economic growth and better living conditions.” Mr Agnel Gurria, Sec Gen, OECD

• “One in three employers globally report experiencing difficulty filling jobs due to lack of available talent” *

• “Technicians, sales representatives and skilled tradespeople - regularly head ManpowerGroup's annual list of the hardest jobs to fill.”*

*ManpowerGroup, Annual Survey, 2011

15

Shifting Center of Economic Gravity from West

to East; Implications for Future Jobs and

Higher Education

• Huge talent shortage across the world

• Employers finding difficulty in filling jobs in:

– Japan (80%)

– India (67%)

– Brazil (57%)

– Australia (54%)

– Taiwan (54%)

– Romania (53%)

– USA (52%)

– Argentina (51%)

– Turkey (48%)

– Switzerland (46%)

– New Zealand (44%)

– Singapore (44%)

– Bulgaria (42%)

– Hong Kong (42%)

– Mexico (42%)

Prosperity in Emerging Economies

Requires Skills to Meet Needs of Growing

Middle Class As domestic prosperity rises, there will also be need to respond to

requirements of middle and upper economic strata.

For instance, greater demand for health care, education at all levels, domestic tourism and financial services.

These skills may well exist in the country but

The issue of their quality assumes greater importance as enlightened consumers expect these services at international standards.

17

Shift in Demand-Internationally and

in Emerging Economies

• Talent mobility is inevitable*

– Globalization is fueling mobility as more companies expand abroad

– Mobility will persist in inclusive societies, enabling equal opportunities

• At same time, continued demand for skills in emerging economies for outsourcing BUT

• Greater need for skills for industrial research & development, though at high quality that delivers cost benefits

• Sadly, most graduates in developing economies are educated unemployables

*World Economic Forum Talent and Skills Report 2010

18

Can systems of education in

developing countries deliver

appropriate response?

• The answer is known to all of us

• The fact is most education systems

around the world are not capable of

meeting future expectations

19

Can systems of education in developing

countries deliver appropriate response?

• By 2020, world over, in developed and newly industrialized countries BRIC and developing countries, highest demand will be for technicians and managers.*

• However, only 25% of Indian and 20% of Russian professionals are currently considered employable by multinationals*

• Skills for high demand jobs in 2020 must be developed now*

*World Economic Forum Talent and Skills Report 2010

Give graduates Core Skills with

Ability to Learn and Adapt in

Future

Sony Corp* notes that

Top 10 jobs in demand in 2010 did not exist in 2004

So we must:

teach for jobs that don’t exist today,

using technologies that haven’t been invented,

solving problems we don’t know of today

US Dept of Labor estimates that today’s learner will have 10-14 jobs by the age of 38

*Research by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Brenman, 2010

21

So What Should be Done?

• Education systems must teach not only

what jobs demand today but,

• For jobs that are not in existence today

22

Retooling of Higher Education

• Major retooling needed in teaching of most professions to meet future employment needs:

Businesses say we want some one whom we can train,

SOME ONE EDUCABLE

Give minimum core skills, so they knows little about many subjects rather than lot about one specialization (except in such fields as medicine)

Skills that equip graduates to be life long learners

Historical Perspective (4)

• Survei thd para dosen di Universitas di

Australia, Hongkong, Swedia dan UK

(Bowden, 1989) ttg: apa yang harus dicapai

mahasiswa di akhir program pendidikan?

• Contoh Jawaban:

– Understanding Electricity

– Understanding What is a field?

– Understanding concept of current, voltage

– Understanding Kirchoff’s Laws

Historical Perspective (5)

• Harvey (1993) : Survey thd employers

di UK ttg yang harus dikuasai oleh

seorang sarjana (graduates):

– Effective Communication

– Problem-solving ability

– Analytical skills

– Team work

– Flexibility and adaptability

Historical Perspective (6)

• Harvey (1993) : Survey thd employers tentang kedudukan specialist subject knowledge dibanding kriteria lain:

–Employers who see subject area as relevant to recruitment: ranking 46 out of 62

–Employers who do not see subject are as important : ranking 57 out of 62

Historical Perspective (7)

• Mengapa pengetahuan ttg disiplin ilmu

(subject knowledge) dianggap tidak

penting oleh employers?

– Ketidakmampuan lulusan untuk

mengaplikasikan (lulusan terlalu teoritis)

– Short life of factual knowledge (mudah

dilupakan setelah lulus)

Historical Perspective (8)

• Competency-based Movement

• Australian Dept of Education and

Training (1987):

The function of higher education is …to

increase individual’s capacity to learn, …to

analyse problem, …to deal with new

information

Teaching is transmitting knowledge

“In the early twenty-first century, people will be

able to study what they want, when they want,

where they want, and in the language they

prefer, electronically.“

Peter Knight, July 1994

Educational Constructivism

Educational Constructivism (Loyens, 2006)

Knowledge construction by transforming information, checking new information against old, revising rules

Knowledge construction can be fostered through interaction

The role of metacognition in knowledge construction

Knowledge construction is encouraged by authentic learning tasks

Personal or Individual Constructivism

Reality is not accessible to rational human knowledge.

All knowledge is a human construction.

Focus: the construction by the learner of schemes that are coherent and useful to them.

Cont’d

• Learning internal process occurs in the mind

• Essential learning processes are the cognitive conflict and reflection occur when one’s thinking is challenged

• The teacher’s role

Piaget’s theory

personal constructivism

Social Constructivism (Barret and Moore, 20111)

Elaboration of Knowledge

Collaborative learning

Learning is dialogical process

Social Constructivism

Knowledge is inseparable from the activities that produce it.

The classroom is a community whose task is to develop knowledge.

Knowledge is socially constructed and distributed among the co-participants.

The role of the learner is to participate in a system of practices that are themselves evolving.

Emergent Social Constructivism

It is a coordination of personal and social-

constructivist positions. Teaching is more than cognitive processes that

is influenced by social processes.

Learning may be analyzed from both the social & the individual

perspective is situations in which neither is

primary.

Apprenticeship

The seamless immersion of the learner into a community of practice with gradual movement from peripheral tasks to full participation.

No strict knowledge boundary exist between the intra - & extracranial aspects if human cognition.

Knowing is located in relations among practitioners, their practice, & the social organization in a world in which social practices may be changing.

Cognitive Perspectives: The Processing of Information

Basic Elements Definition

Assumptions Human memory is a complex & active organizer of information; the memory system transforms inform for storage (and later retrieval) in long-term memory.

Learning The processes by which information from the environment is transformed into cognitive structures.

Learning outcome Some form of cognitive structure; the prevalent view is that of semantic networks.

Goal setting and planning

Select or generate goals and a plan for addressing the study task.

Enacting study tactics and strategies

Implement the activities selected , and fine-tune, if necessary

Model of the Metacognitive Activities in Studying

Bandura’s Social-Cognitive Theory

Assumptions

1. The learner can abstract information for observing others and make decisions about the behaviors to enact.

2. A three-way interlocking relationship between behavior (B), the environment (E), and internal-personal events (E) explains learning.

3. Learning is the acquisition of symbolic representations in the form of verbal or visual codes.
