The Everyday

The task of mediating meanings of what may be constituted as ‘practice’ and ‘theory’ – its differences of kind and essence – and their commonalities or unions in the everyday of students – and the professions they are being prepared for, is demanding. The introductory chapter seeks to introduce a multitude of angels to view the phenomenon by. There is a political angle about how we make students better prepared for their future vocational contribution to the society, so that their human capital is realised as soon as possible in the knowledge economy. The humanistic angle suggested in the chapter deals with the personal and social development of the students. There is also a philosophical angle available to interprete how thinking and reasoning is a matter of shifting modes with acting and doing – and reflecting on the relations between them. The chapter uses the framework adapted from Ernest Boyer to project where we as academics are in the landscape of higher education: in the disciplines or in education of professionals.

The Republic of Ecuador, and in particular the State Technical University of Quevedo (UTEQ), demands the training of highly qualified professionals, according to the demands of society. In this context, pre-professional practice constitutes an essential means to achieve these expectations, based on taking into account the Pedagogical Model by Competences. Faced with these challenges, in Ecuador, the training of competent professionals committed to social development is today a necessity. Training graduates capable of facing the challenges of technological development in their jobs is a priority, both for Higher Education and for the entities that employ qualified human capital in the country. It concludes by stating that it constitutes a challenge for the UTEQ, the conception and application of results that arise in the area of ​​Pedagogical Sciences, to favor an adequate development of the evaluation by competencies of pre-professional practices

This introductory chapter presents general suggestions on the concept of quality-assured industry-oriented higher education in software engineering that relate to and underpin the other chapters in the book. The body of work reported here was based initially on the close co-operation since 2002 between Dublin Institute of Technology in Ireland and Harbin Institute of Technology in China, and on the subsequent development and propagation of this co-operation across Europe and China. The experiences described come from a range of countries, France, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Romania and Turkey, as well as China and Ireland. They capture many of the interesting and valuable lessons of these past eight years of thinking and research and development relating to international software industry-oriented higher education in the broad context of the global striving towards the knowledge economy. They make the case for a strong role for software industry-oriented higher education in the production of the software architects, developers, and engineers required for the future.

Human capital is a key production resource that is available to the greatest part of population. The investments in education and training contribute to the growth of economic efficiency. There are many proofs in support of the thesis that investment in education is stimulating to economic growth, course of average labour productivity and growth of real earnings. There is a strong correlation between the education and earnings: higher educational level implies higher level of wages, while higher salaries further motivate people to acquire permanent education. Human capital practically vanishes unless it is used. In such cases, human capital acts consistently nearly equally to financial capital, by displacing into the environments where higher yields are expected. The above explicated approach to research is often criticised, especially bearing in mind its static character. In real life, the degree of material embodiment of human capital is mostly the function of ability of involvement in activities of lifelong education and acquisition of practical skills. Economic value of human capital depends on its contribution to creation of values of goods and services. Hence, the possibility that certain components of human capital are highly evaluated at specific time and in particular environment, while without any significance in other circumstances should be always borne in mind. Relative value of particular components of human capital greatly depend on the stage of economic and social development of a country where their meaning is perceived. In present conditions of earning, in the process of creation of human capital, the activities directed towards lifelong education and professional advancement and digital literacy have become increasingly significant. Education, and especially higher education, contributes to economic and social development of certain communities in most various ways. In accordance with the approach to basic needs, education is increasingly recognised as an elementary need which helps to satisfy many other needs and contributes to the life quality improvement. In the educational policy, rapid development of technology imposes two key conclusions. The first is that education should be directed towards the capability of acquisition of new knowledge during lifetime (the ability to learn is learnt), while the other is dissemination of education to all social strata. The competence of human capital includes the application of new knowledge in everyday practice. Therefore it is not surprising that this form of capital permanently increases its participation in the structure of total capital in all contemporary economies. At the same time, the attitude that human capital is a backbone of overall development of each nation (economic, social etc.) is predominant in economic science today, while education is its most significant framework.

The United States is in a bind. On the one hand, we need millions of additional citizens with at least one year of successful post-secondary experience to adapt to the knowledge economy. Both the Gates and Lumina Foundations, and our President, have championed this goal in different ways. On the other hand, we have a post-secondary system that is trapped between rising costs and stagnant effectiveness, seemingly unable to respond effectively to this challenge. This paper analyzes several aspects of this problem, describes changes in the society that create the basis for solutions, and offers several examples from Kaplan University of emerging practice that suggests what good practice might look like in a world where quality-assured mass higher education is the norm.

The author considers the questions relating to the formation of lawyers’ professional traits from the point of view of the significance which human capital and investment in this capital hold in contemporary times. It follows from the analyses, which were carried out, that the dire need for taking up actions with the aim to shape lawyers appears one of the most vital tasks. This requires taking into account visible trends in the changing job market. Another aspect results from the need for multilevel qualifications and conditions behind lawyers’ actions and their decisions. Thus, colleges of higher education which educate prospective lawyers, as well as lawyers’ corporations, are confronted by challenges of forming, in young people, features that are indispensable for them to be valuable lawyers and not only executors of simple activities. The author points to the fact that lawyers need shaping because, among others, during their whole social lives and realization of professional tasks their personality traits and potential related to communication will constantly manifest through accepting and following or rejecting and opposing values, principles, reflexions, empathy, sensitivity, the farthest-fetched imagination, objectivism, cooperation, dialogue, distancing themselves from political disputes, etc. Students of the art of law should be characterized by a changed mentality, new vision of law – service to man, and realization of standards of law, as well as perception of the importance of knowledge, skills, attitudes and competences.

Job Mismatch

In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the incidences of job mismatch in Pakistan. The study has divided the job mismatch into three categories; education-job mismatch, qualification mismatch and field of study and job mismatch. Both the primary and secondary datasets have been used in which the formal sector employed graduates have been targeted. This study has measured the education-job mismatch by three approaches and found that about one-third of the graduates are facing education-job mismatch. In similar, more than one-fourth of the graduates are mismatched in qualification, about half of them are over-qualified and the half are under-qualified. The analysis also shows that 11.3 percent of the graduates have irrelevant and 13.8 percent have slightly relevant jobs to their studied field of disciplines. Our analysis shows that women are more likely than men to be mismatched in field of study.
