- Initiatives to ensure all higher education institutions will be relevant and remain competitive in the dawning of Industry 4.0.
- Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh stressed to realise this, first, the process of teaching and learning has to be changed. Under Learning and Teaching 4.0, there are four aspects which should be put into paramount.
- First, the learning spaces should be redesigned. (eg : lecturer halls with multi-tiered collaborative tables and the use of smart board).
- Second, different kinds of pedagodies are needed, which are heutagogy (self-determined learning), paragogy (peer-oriented learning) and cybergogy (virtual-based learning).
- Third, curriculum had to be fluid and organic. Idris announced that as of 2018, up to 30 per cent of all university programmes will adopt this concept, enabling them to respond to innovations and new areas of knowledge without being bound by traditional rigid curriculum practices.
- And fourth, all of the aforementioned should incorporate the latest learning and teaching technologies.
- Idris also urged for lessons to integrate ‘learning without lectures’ concept, of which classes need not be conducted through lectures.
- Another concept, called ‘evaluation without examinations’, highlights on how assessments need not be based solely on exams.
