This editorial to the Special Section on COVID-19 emphasises the importance of researching pandemic realities and the value that the findings can bring to the way we shape decisions in the future, for the ‘new normal’. The pandemic, with its rapidly changing timeline, required swift action in untrialled circumstances and its consequences have been experienced differently by diverse institutions and across national contexts. Depending on the roles and responsibilities we may have taken on during this time, our capabilities to document our experiences and emerging trends have varied.

Insight Into

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will have, profound effects on adult education (Boeren, Roumell & Roessger, 2020; Kapplinger & Lichte, 2020) and online learning practices. The impact was unprecedented and led to the largest and quickest transformation of pedagogic practice ever seen in contemporary universities (Brammer & Clark, 2020). Although it is too soon for a full assessment, the first step is to gain insight into an understanding of the macro trends taking shape inside and outside the walls of institutions and then explore how these trends may affect the future. Against this background, a question arises: How is the COVID-19 pandemic shaping the future of adult online learning in higher education? Drawing on adult education and higher education scholarly and practitioner literature published over the last year, the purpose of this paper is threefold: (i) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, to identify and analyze emerging trends that could shape the future of adult online education in higher education, (ii) to analyze these trends over a longer time span in the literature, and (iii) to explore the possible futures of adult education and online learning in higher education.

Universities frequently suffer when they use linear, mechanistic thinking. Leaders can make too many erroneous assumptions about the future. In addition, when users view strategic plans as fixed road maps, they often fail to recognize the faulty assumptions that hinder their success along the way. They generally fail to harness emerging opportunities as well. To enhance outcomes, planners must ensure there are adequate resources for monitoring and adjusting plans during implementation. Those empowered to monitor outcomes and activities must fully understand that the planning core intentions are for development so that so they can effectively refine the plan as it unfolds. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, this study intends to explore some of these issues in an effort to enhance practice and intends to propose a framework for university planning and development to ensure sustainability in higher education.

We are facing unprecedented social, economic, and environmental challenges due to accelerating globalization and the rapid pace of technological development. Nonetheless, these forces offer us countless new opportunities for human progress. The future is uncertain, and we cannot predict it, but we must be open and ready for it. After Covid-19, the “new normal” will be characterized by change, reorientation, and sustainability. Both studying and working have quickly changed in form, requiring digitalization and digital competence in both individuals and organizations. It has become evident that the digital revolution concerns people and their habits, behaviors, and attitudes in using the new technology. Moreover, there is a need for innovative pedagogy, and a move to curricula 4.0, which are aligned with the 4th Industrial revolution, which change the way we live, work, communicate, perform, relate, and also the way we learn, and new perspectives on quality and its effects. Online innovative education will be a strategic priority at every institution. This conceptual article is based on the current discourse on the reflection and rethinking of 21st century competences, smart learning environments, and digitalization in education. The author has provided examples of the ongoing debate. The article’s focus on the future of education is based on her own research and perspectives. The discussion is centered on the OECD report on the future of education and skills, Education 2030, and the UNESCO initiatives in the OER Recommendation and the Futures of Education - Learning to Become.

Universities are very stable institutions where their basic role in society is still alive after centuries; nevertheless, the way to provide it has deeply changed due to the generation of knowledge, evolution of technology, and evolution in internal and external governance and funding schemes. Even if those changes were successfully surfed and universities are still recognised in society as key actors for education and knowledge generation, new challenges are on the way and the smooth adaptation approach used in the past could be not valid anymore in front of disruptive societal changes. In fact, traditional higher-education value-chain is being challenged with the introduction of new actors in the higher education process and the emergence of IT-based disruptive learning models, which impact on university performance and governance. The main goal of this paper is to analyse how public universities’ structures should efficiently evolve in that context while preserving their role in society. We are aware that many of the findings could be also applied to private universities although regulatory contexts are different.The article offers a global view on public university governance challenges motivated by the digitisation of society and how Western universities should address them in order to keep a prominent role in the future knowledge society, where more complex educational ecosystems will be in place. The objective is to analyse the relative importance and interaction of a set of drivers for transforming universities’ structures in the context of a digital economy and how the (fragmented) answers provided today by universities over the world should evolve in the future towards a consistent policy and organisational mix by using concepts borrowed from digital platforms and collaborative economy. The article is mainly focused on the situation in the European Union (EU) linked to policy actions launched by the European Commission and EU Member States, although some action lines could be shared in broader geographical contexts.The analysis presented in the paper is focused on the applicability of the concept of (digital) higher educational platforms and how they can modify the provision of higher education services within an open education ecosystem in close cooperation with other actors. The impact in the higher-education value chain implies that several public and private actors will occupy positions formerly exclusively linked to universities; this evolution and their consequence are presented in the article through a number of potential trajectories. Finally, the article discusses a much more disruptive perspective by considering the future role of universities as “specialised learning platforms” for providing higher educational services over the world with weaker links to territory, and its derived consequences for new or pre-existent universities.

This article proposed to revitalize a philosophical paradigm in the academic tradition of Islamic Higher Education (IHE) as a scientific endeavor to pave the way for the revival of Islamic civilization. IHE was selected because its academic tradition institutionally is more likely to hold it than other Islamic educational institutions such as pesantren that tends to play a “prophetic” role as the guardian of religious orthodoxy. The revitalization held to establish three agendas, namely (1) terminating the dichotomous epistem-ology and then moving on an integrative epistemology, (2) applying multidisciplinary approaches in scientific activities, and (3) strengthening the spirit of criticism and freedom of thought as fundamental principles of the scientific dynamics. Due to the academic traditions concerning intellectual praxis, the agendas have to paint the scientific activities in IHE, from design of sciences to norms of intellectual promiscuity. Establishing three agendas into the academic tradition paradigmatically will enable IHE to creat significant contributions to the revival of Islamic civilization in the future.

Leadership Approaches

In this article, we present a rationale for infusing adaptive, complexity, and transformational leadership theories into the kinesiology leader’s praxis. Understanding and incorporating these theories will prepare kinesiology leaders to respond to the emerging trends influencing the future of higher education and work leading into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Specifically, we discuss the impact of the pandemic, which has transformed the way students and academics approach curriculum and pedagogy. We conclude the article with a discussion of the future of higher education and work and explore ways to cultivate kinesiology leadership approaches for anticipatory thinking and planning to respond to the transformation occurring in our field.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.
