In this globalization era, higher education institutions are required to provide their students with essential skills to survive the industrial revolution 4.0. This phenomenon becomes more apparent in developing countries, where globalization is unavoidable and the utilization of advanced technology becomes a necessity. Blended learning (BL) and student center learning (SCL) may become the means for students and lecturers to be active participants of the learning processes. The purpose of this paper is to present our effort in preparing students to be more confident, self-reliant, eager to compete and collaborate as well as to master new knowledge in the field they have chosen to study. Six samples of SCL classes and one sample of BL class are described. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied to measure the process of implementing the learning methods. Results indicate favorable outcomes. It is recommended to use BL since it will include SCL in the near future to all classes offered at UKRIDA.

Increased Pressure

Higher educational institutes today need to focus on identifying the requirements of industry as well as the market, so that they can help students develop the necessary skills and enable them to work with intelligent machines in today's era of the 4th industrial revolution which is also termed digitalization. Digitalization has increased pressure on educational institutions to update their existing curricula and course contents. It is important to note that, while industry as well as educational institutions in the developed world are rather quick on embracing such trends, developing economies often lag behind. Universities in developed countries are mostly on the path towards a hybrid way of teaching, while those in developing countries, such as Pakistan, frequently struggle to make these changes. This chapter seeks to provide suggestions and recommendations for the higher education sector, including universities and policymakers. It identifies the role that the higher education sector must play in preparing and upskilling future employees for Pakistan's digital future.

Education Transformation

A dramatic global socio-economic transformation is challenging the traditional university models. Disruptive technologies are quickly changing the way we live and work, inducing shifts in occupational structures and pushing demand toward new skills and competences. Several factors such as the rise of neoliberalism and knowledge economy, the 2008 global economic crisis, Fourth Industrial Revolution, the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing emergence of online learning, the amount of student debt, and employers’ dissatisfaction are generating pressure to reconsider global higher education systems. The key stakeholder groups—governments, education institutions, employers, and learners are seeking for new models that are more learner-oriented. The power struggle between various tensions within the current volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous landscape generates a range of scenarios for the universities’ futures. Regardless of which scenario prevails, it is likely that academia will undergo a significantly dynamic transformation in the near future. Following a literature review shaped by personal experience in higher education, the author analyzes macro factors that may affect higher education in the forthcoming decade, with the aim of supporting strategic planning by universities. By generating a set of potential scenarios—Transformative, Market, and Fortress, the author identifies three possible futures to add to the debate about the direction and intensity of the required higher education transformation.

And Function

Continuous technological advances keep challenging current and future engineers to anticipate and adapt to the new trends and paradigms that are expected to take place in a near future. One of such paradigms is the Industry 4.0 that encompasses the promise of a new industrial revolution based on the interconnectivity of people and systems to communicate, analyse and use information related to industrial processes. New challenges, as well as new opportunities, will rise in this digital landscape, demanding from future engineers the ability to adapt and grow in such ground-breaking environments. With such dynamic changes taking place in the current and future industries, engineering education has to adapt and prepare future graduates to work and function in these demanding environments. The set of skills envisaged to be held by future engineers is the ability to work and collaborate using digital means of participation as well as the ability to effectively use intercultural communicative skills. To this end, an exploratory study was conducted among different European Higher Education Engineering Schools to integrate a project with common aims and goals, resulting in various collaborative engineering activities that were designed to be carried out by undergraduate industrial and mechanical engineering students to further improve their learning outcomes and to acquire, or improve on, dedicated intercultural, communicative and colaborative skills. Following both quantitative and qualitative approaches, this study combined different types of data and methods of analysis in order to provide an exploratory account of the envisaged findings. Keywords: Engineering education, online learning environments, collaborative learning.

Abstract Digital transformation in higher education has had a transformative effect on modern education. It means transforming an institutional core value of education to better meet students’ needs by leveraging digital technology and big data. Accordingly, this study aims to catch the principal directions, trends, or new paradigms as predictors with a linkage of each topic by identifying the latest research agendas of teaching and learning in higher education through semantic network analysis. For this, 285 research articles from four international ‘top-tier’ journals ranked as ISI/SCOPUS Q1 were gathered in the area of teaching and learning in higher education for two years in 2018 ~ 2019, and then it was analyzed using a text mining technique that processes natural language. Consequently, the study of researches on teaching and learning shows a relatively high connection with ‘student’ or ‘student-centered/led’ rather than ‘teacher-led’. Moreover, it is observed that the practice and assessment of learning can be achieved through various activities including community activities. Besides that, experience-based classes, research in academic contexts, the effect of group activities, how students’ perceptions or feelings and relationships affect learning outcomes were mentioned as the main topics through topic modeling of LDA, a machine learning algorithm. This study proposes that educators, researchers, and academic leaders can exert the remarkable power to reshape the educational programs for future quality education properly and a timely fashion based on recognizable trends or topics in teaching and learning of higher education.

Abstract: The 4th Industrial Revolution and COVID-19 pandemic have globally impacted the economy, livelihood and organizations. With digitalization, many programs including STEM-based courses that require hands-on approach have gone online. This research was carried out to analyze the status of STEM Education in Malaysian higher education institutions and to explore challenges of e-learning integration with STEM subjects. A concurrent triangulation mixed-methods design was employed whereby quantitative and qualitative approaches took place simultaneously. The qualitative data were gathered via questionnaire while qualitative approach used semi-structured interviews. Respondents were STEM educators who teach and/or manage STEM programs in HEIs within the Klang Valley. Junior lecturers are found comparatively better using different software programs, exploring websites and handling multimedia tools for e-learning purposes.  83% survey respondents claimed their institution has no STEM e-learning policy, contributing to further challenge in STEM Education development.  Respondents agreed sound e-learning implementation of STEM requires lecturers with subject specialization, able to approach application of knowledge, skills and values to problem solving, can collaborate with others and adept at integrating technology.  Meanwhile, the HEIs must engage stakeholders to counter resistance plan to change, and to measure the effectiveness of integrating e-learning in meeting the strategic goals in STEM education.   Keywords: E-learning, Higher education, STEM Education

В статье рассматривается проблема согласования гуманитарного стиля мышления и естественнонаучного знания. Практика показывает, что у студентов, выбравших для обучения гуманитарные специальности, преобладает гуманитарное мышление. Оно сформировано условиями профильного обучения в средней школе и продолжает развиваться на этапе получения высшего образования. Гуманитарный тип мышления характеризуется диалогичностью, вариативностью, креативностью, самостоятельностью в освоении новых знаний, способностью к интеллектуальным изобретениям и экспериментам с неизвестными и неочевидными результатами, к рефлексивности и критичности результатов деятельности. Важнейшими условиями повышения эффективности в освоении содержания естественнонаучных дисциплин студентами-гуманитариями являются учет возможностей и познавательных интересов студентов, использование резервов учебной информации, интерактивных методов обучения.The article deals with the problem of harmonizing the humanitarian style of thinking and natural science knowledge. Practice shows that students who choose humanities to study in humanities have humanitarian thinking that prevails. It is shaped by the profile of secondary school education and continues to evolve at the stage of higher education. The humanitarian type of thinking is characterized by dialogue, variability, creativity, autonomy in the development of new knowledge, the ability to intellectual inventions and experiments with unknown and non-obvious results, to reflexivity and criticality of the results of activities. The most important conditions for increasing the effectiveness in mastering the content of natural science disciplines by students of the humanities are taking into account the capabilities and cognitive interests of students, the use of reserves of educational information, interactive teaching methods.

This chapter investigates how platformization is affecting the idea of education as a common good on both sides of the Atlantic. The growth of online educational platforms has been explosive, in both primary and higher education. Most of these educational platforms are corporately owned, propelled by algorithmic architectures and business models. They have quickly gained millions of users and are altering learning processes and teaching practices; they boost the distribution of online course material, hence impacting curriculums; they influence the administration of schools and universities; and, as some argue, they change the governance of (public) education as a whole. The chapter explores how, powered by the Big Five, these educational platforms are pushing a new concept of learning that questions values that are fundamental to publicly funded education: Bildung, a knowledge-based curriculum, autonomy for teachers, collective affordability, and education as a vehicle for socioeconomic equality.
