Disentangled Vision on Higher Education

Preparing the Generation Next

by Francisco José Leandro (Volume editor) Roopinder Oberoi (Volume editor)
Monographs XXXVI, 526 Pages

Summary

This book offers an objective and dispassionate analysis of modern educational architecture allowing us to notice gaps. The fundamental question addressed is whether our education system will embrace knowledge-based society and have the foresight to better prepare future generations. If educators around the world step back for a moment, it is not difficult to notice that unanswered questions about education are looming everywhere. The existent academic literature on education is abundant and embracing. In consequence, one can ask why is this book necessary? Indeed, this book is the result of senior university professors sharing their learnings and anticipating the pivotal issues facing all education professionals. According to the United Nations, by 2050, 68% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. This fact cannot be ignored as it is one of the drivers of the profile of the future students. The reasons to organize this publication are many, but among them three stand out which also function as the driving forces behind this project: (1) University professors teach future generations based on models grounded on knowledge advanced by past experiences; (2) The decisive requirement to understand the needs of the new generations of university millennial students; and (3) What are the critical challenges of global societies?

"This book problematizes the issues concerning education, and its main contribution is to answer the need to rethink education, face contemporary challenges, and reorganize the way public policies address education. It critically analyses the challenges of global societies in a decentralized perspective, not only reflecting a western perspective of education and knowledge production. The project's originality comes from the contemporaneity of the topics covered, from the interdisciplinary perspective, and from the specific attention given to trends around education."

Foreword

This forward-thinking book is the result of an exciting and unique collaboration between a diverse group of scholars from around the world who have dared to imagine and envisage higher education in the future.

In recent years, innovation, technological advances, digitalization and a global pandemic have driven a fast pace of change in society. Individuals and groups developed by a more inventive, creative higher education should be better prepared to rise to the challenges that face the next generation. Against this background, this groundbreaking book has brought together senior and young scholars and academic staff from different cultures and with different experiences to consider and shed new light on the future of higher education.

The question they have been challenged with is: Is our education system embracing and farsighted to prepare the future generation for knowledge society? One of the key drivers for this question is that university professors currently teach future generations, based on models grounded on knowledge advanced by past experiences. The re-imagination required to transform universities in the future will need to focus on the development of citizens with an ability for self-examination and will also need to take into consideration the pace of societal change whilst focusing on the goals of sustainability.

The diverse chapters within this book are organized into 3 parts and shine a light on a wide variety of themes including: lifelong learning in an ever-changing world, advantages and pitfalls of a virtual learning environment, development of intercultural competence and the use of artificial intelligence to enable collaborative learning.

Acknowledgments

This publication was born in Wuhan (China) in November 2019, during a buffet breakfast and in the middle of a rush to our next academic duties, while attending the Fifth East Lake Forum on Global Governance − a high-level international exchange platform hosted by Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China). Education is at the core of this research. The critical objective of this international project is to deliberate on various concepts, pathways and modalities for preparing the next generation. Academic publication is never a project of few, and as all responsible editorial research projects, this one is the result of a 35 months-long process, involving contributors, spread around the world. Thus, the editorial team wishes to express sincere deepest gratitude to:

(1)All 42 contributors, from 16 different nationalities, for sharing their research perspectives on this very nuanced theme of Higher Education and more specifically for their proficient insights about the future of this critical field of study. The editors sincerely wish to acknowledge their commitment to deliver to this unsponsored international collaborative research project.

(2)The reviewers team. All chapters were initially selected, and peer reviewed by the editors, and all the manuscript was subsequently reviewed a second time by independent scholars. A small group of chapters was reviewed a third time, as suggested by the reviewers’ team.
