Universidades e a disrupção

A disrupção não começa por baixo, começa sempre pelos clientes "overserved".



Excelente reflexão a combinar com a leitura de "CLAY CHRISTENSEN: GE And Perdue Farms Will Disrupt Harvard Business School"

"Institutions of higher learning must move, as the historian Walter Russell Mead puts it, from a model of “time served” to a model of “stuff learned.” Because increasingly the world does not care what you know. Everything is on Google. The world only cares, and will only pay for, what you can do with what you know. And therefore it will not pay for a C+ in chemistry, just because your state college considers that a passing grade and was willing to give you a diploma that says so. We’re moving to a more competency-based world where there will be less interest in how you acquired the competency — in an online course, at a four-year-college or in a company-administered class — and more demand to prove that you mastered the competency.
...

We demand that plumbers and kindergarten teachers be certified to do what they do, but there is no requirement that college professors know how to teach. (Moi ici: Eheheh Recordo logo uma minoria de professores que tive na Universidade e que não tinham jeitinho nenhum para aquilo) No more. The world of MOOCs is creating a competition that will force every professor to improve his or her pedagogy or face an online competitor.
.
Bottom line: There is still huge value in the residential college experience and the teacher-student and student-student interactions it facilitates. But to thrive, universities will have to nurture even more of those unique experiences while blending in technology to improve education outcomes in measurable ways at lower costs. We still need more research on what works, but standing still is not an option."
