| description | The globalization of knowledge or information is multidirectional. It only
makes sense when the provider and recipient of the knowledge or
information are capable of both providing and receiving. The fact
currently is that this is not the case, especially when it involves developing
countries. While the expectations are that developing countries should at
least be able to receive, if not provide, the education infrastructure is
normally not present to allow that to happen. This paper proposes an
exploration into effective learning, a move away from current pedagogical
thinking and delivery and instilling innovative management of institutions
of higher learning, so that we could catch up with the rest of the world and
hence join them in globalizing knowledge and information. In particular,
this paper discusses the demise of rote learning in this technological and
globalised world and challenges the Asian values concept of acceptance.
In combating these educational drawbacks, this paper advocates a
fundamental change in the requirements of teachers in the broadest sense
of the word (i.e. including lecturers and professors). At the same time this
paper also discusses the need for a conducive environment to allow the
above to occur. This leads to a quality-based management of higher
education institutions. This requirement has become a given in many
developed countries. |
