Educating a Modern Business Workforce
反思传统与信息技术中介教育的交汇,主张教育机构应同时提供两种模式,以满足21世纪商业环境对技术熟练度的需求,并讨论了沟通技能、课程变革、隐性知识和成果测量的影响。
This article reflects on the intersection of traditional and information technology- (IT-) mediated education and proposes the need to develop a revised teaching pedagogy that better reflects the skills required for success in the 21st-century business environment. Building on the premise that neither a homogeneous traditional nor IT-mediated workplace is prevalent, it is argued that educational institutions should provide both traditional and IT-mediated alternatives, not simply because they make education more accessible to their students but because of workplace demands and therefore student needs for proficiency in the use of these enabling technologies. The implications of this premise are discussed in terms of communication skills, pedagogical and curricular change, tacit knowledge, and outcome measurement.
