The reality of university education that focus on knowledge and skills for jobs

 The reality of university education that focus on knowledge and skills for jobs

 

 

Companies need university graduates with knowledge and skills that they need. 

Why?

 

In most cases, a company wants someone who is ready to work with minimum training. 

This is most efficient way of running a company in terms of money and time.

 

But what does this mean for students? 

 

It means the student can be replaced by anyone who has similar knowledge and training.

This also means that anyone can be replaced anytime. 

In addition, by forcing students to compete for the same knowledge and skills, societies can filter more suitable ones for them.

 

Basically, university graduates are being manipulated to be small parts like nuts and bolts in a big machine.

Whenever needed or newer version comes out, the old one can be thrown out.

 

And universities are the pipeline to provide these parts for the companies.

 

Ironically, students line up to get into a university.

They pay high tuition to be cut and polished to be nice looking bolts and nuts.

And they think this is a great way to live.

 

Doesn’t this bother you at all?

Learning is possible only if there is someone who can teach you. Learning is possible only if someone has found something new or created new knowledge. ﾠ The people who focus on learning are: ﾠ 1. Moving towards a passive life. 2. You wouldn't know what to do unless you learned what to do by reading a book or being taught. 3. You would be frustrated if you don't have an answer unless someone gives you the answer. ﾠ Because of these, if you enjoy learning new things or knowledge, you might enjoy the learning but you will be mentally enslaved by the people with more knowledge or (and) political or (and) economic power gradually.   ﾠ ============================ Studying is a process of discovering new things or finding answers oneself. When you encounter something that you didn't know (or didn't expect), you can find answers by studying...

Why online classes are not as effective as face to face?

Why online classes are not as effective as face to face? One of the participants asked a question in the teaching professors virtual conference ongoing now. The question was that how to make online teaching effective. From the conference, there is limited info about online teaching. I replied. If teaching is focused on delivering knowledge by understanding, effectiveness would drop significantly for online. This is because learning knowledge by understanding doesn’t require thinking. When thinking is not involved, it is like training a dog. Dogs can understand human signals and words and follow instruction once trained. The problem is that you cannot train dogs online.  I continued. To make either online or face to face teaching effective, thinking function of the human brain has to be tackled. And the thinking process includes data collection, analysis, prediction and decision making. The person replied. How to teach students to learn knowledge and thinkin...
