Redesigning Higher Education: Leaders Feras Naser and Dr. Mohammed Kasasbeh – Cocreation Workshop No 32
In the ever-changing landscape of higher education, innovative thinkers and leaders are essential to address the challenges and shortcomings of existing systems. Leader Feras Naser and Dr. Mohammed Kasasbeh recently conducted the co-creation workshop No. 32, focusing on the dysfunctional higher education system. This workshop provided a platform for insightful discussions and culminated in the proposal of a parallel higher educational system with innovative components. In this article, we explore the key highlights from the workshop and the proposed solutions put forward by these visionary leaders.
- Measuring and Increasing Learner Capacity
One of the fundamental aspects discussed in the co-creation workshop was the need to measure and enhance learners’ capacity to learn. Traditional education often focuses on the dissemination of knowledge rather than empowering students to become active learners. Leader Feras Naser and Dr. Mohammed Kasasbeh emphasized the importance of assessing learners’ abilities to absorb, analyze, and apply knowledge effectively. By incorporating new assessment methods and techniques, the proposed parallel higher educational system aims to foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and lifelong learning habits.
The workshop participants emphasized the significance of creating an environment that encourages curiosity, self-reflection, and collaboration. To increase learner capacity, the proposed system seeks to implement personalized learning plans, adaptive teaching methodologies, and mentorship programs. These measures would enable students to harness their unique strengths and interests, fostering a deeper engagement with the learning process.
- New Ways of Access to Markets through the Co-creation Movement
In today’s interconnected world, traditional academic models often struggle to provide students with practical exposure to real-world scenarios. Leader Feras Naser and Dr. Mohammed Kasasbeh identified the need for new avenues that bridge the gap between academia and industry. The co-creation movement, a central theme in the workshop, seeks to establish collaborative partnerships between educational institutions, businesses, and communities.
The proposed parallel higher educational system envisions a holistic approach that encourages students to actively engage with external stakeholders. Through internships, industry projects, and entrepreneurship programs, learners would have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. This practical experience would not only enhance their employability but also foster an entrepreneurial mindset and a deep understanding of market dynamics.
- Demonstrating Lecturer Superiority and Creating Differentiated Education
The co-creation workshop also delved into the role of lecturers in the educational process. Leader Feras Naser and Dr. Mohammed Kasasbeh emphasized the need to recognize and elevate the status of lecturers as educational leaders. In the proposed parallel system, lecturers would be empowered to create a clearly differentiated education for their students.
This differentiation would manifest through innovative teaching approaches, personalized instruction, and the integration of emerging technologies. Lecturers would be encouraged to cultivate their expertise, continuously update their knowledge, and leverage their practical experiences to provide unique educational journeys for their students. By showcasing their mastery and ability to create impactful learning environments, lecturers would inspire students and instill a passion for lifelong learning.
Conclusion
Leader Feras Naser and Dr. Mohammed Kasasbeh’s co-creation workshop No. 32 shed light on the dysfunctional higher education system and proposed an alternative parallel system with innovative components. The discussions in the workshop highlighted the importance of measuring and increasing learner capacity, forging connections with industry through the co-creation movement, and empowering lecturers to create differentiated education.
