Conceptual Analysis on Higher Education Strategies for Various Tech-Generations

Abstract

Higher education is finding importance throughout the globe due to two reasons that include challenges to increase Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) towards 100% and the possibility of further HE system innovations due to drastic changes in technology and the creativity of new Tech-generations. In this paper, we made a detailed analysis of the effect of technology on industry and the creation of new tech generations in society. The predictive analysis methodology is used for discussing the effect of technologies on industries and its effects on the creation of new tech generations. Finally, the possible higher education strategies to fulfil the anticipated desires of the tech-generations in society are analysed. Based on the analysis a set of postulates are suggested to integrate technology with the higher education system to develop industry acceptable qualified professionals to serve satisfactorily in so-called Tech-society.

“…Predictive Analysis Model to predict future [44][45] The procedure of predictive analysis consists of four stages which include (i) Collecting information on present trends, (ii) Developing postulates based on present trends, (iii) Generating argument-based descriptions, and (iv) Predicting the future. This analysis method helps to predict the future changes by developing postulates and responding for it using either Survival strategy, Sustainable strategy, Monopoly strategy, Competitive strategy, or Growth & Expansion strategy [46][47].…”

“…The improvements or discovery of new technology in the history led to many technology generations and each generation provided new tools to improve the quality of human life [2][3]. Many technologies had applications in area or industry and hence called as General-Purpose Technologies (GPT) [4][5][6]. Table 1 lists various technology generations identified with the impact and the time period of effectiveness.…”

COVID-Driven Innovation in Higher Education: Analysing the Collaboration of Leadership and Digital Technology during the Pandemic in UiTM Malaysia and UNNES Indonesia

“…A remote observation could help the observation stage, yet it does not seem valid enough for a participative research approach. Therefore, even though there has been plenty of research talking about research performance in higher education institutions (Jauhar, Pant & Nagar, 2017;Koya, 2017;Aithal & Aithal, 2020;Padlee et al, 2020;Martinez, Nafarrate & Balderamma, 2020), research performance of faculty members during the pandemic emerges as an interesting discussion with regard to the new challenges faced by the researchers and institutions.…”

Literature Review on Benefits, Opportunities, Challenges, Prospects of Online Teaching in Higher Education

“…In order to face challenges of pandemic c like Covid-19, there is a need to critically evaluate E-learning technology such as social and cognitive presence while designing digital learning activities, collaboration among the various deans, administration, and heads of higher educational institutions [37], [39]- [42]. The pandemic situations all over the world have made it essential for adopting a global education system by utilizing user-friendly tools such as ICT and higher educational institutions should focus on today's tech-savvy generations' various needs for successful implementation of teaching and learning for all the stakeholders [45]- [50]. Developments in communications, computer-based instruction, and pupil learning systems have extended the opportunities in online instruction and student learning.…”

“…d) Higher educational institutions should adopt a Competency-Based Credit system that allows students to earn competency in various programs [25]. e) The higher education institutions to be on par with today's Tech-savvy generation should concentrate on strategies to differentiate themselves in the field of online education competitive market [45]. f) The pandemic has changed the global education system from a traditional classroom to elearning [50].…”
