ABSTRACT

The environment, the conditions and the context in which educational institutions operate are not only different from in the past, but they are also under a continuous and dynamic change. The same is true for the knowledge, skills and competencies that industry requires from graduates as well as the expectations, the needs and the learning styles of learners. Table 33.1 provides an overview of these educational transformation challenges by comparing past and current beliefs about the major issues in terms of knowledge, learners’ profiles and skills, and learning processes.
