College‐Corporate Cooperation: A Compelling Emerging Need
Competitive, technological and demographic imperatives are combining to dramatically change the nature of tomorrow’s workplace, and the needs of workers and managers comprising this workplace. To a significant extent, meeting the challenge of this change will involve educating and reeducating people, and will mandate a much higher degree of cooperation between academic and corporate education establishments. To achieve this cooperation, differences in perceptions, policies, and practices which have traditionally militated against cooperation among higher and corporate education establishments must be addressed, and strategic planning initiatives undertaken to develop cooperative programs and formats that best meet corporate education needs.
Collaboration Between Higher Education and Industry: An Overview.
In recent years, the question of collaboration between higher education and industry has become a highly topical issue, and there are few countries or international organisations in which colloquia, seminars or conferences have not been held or studies conducted on the subject [1]. As compared with only 10 or 15 years ago, the climate of opinion now associated with it is strikingly different. At about the start of the 1970s, the topic was widely regarded as almost taboo, an attitude linked partly no doubt to the late 1960s student unrest. When it occurred at all, discussion usually centred on the dangers or disadvantages of closer links between universities and industries rather than on their possible benefits. Today, all governments, irrespective of political allegiance, are calling for this kind of co-operation and introducing such measures as they regard appropriate in order to facilitate it. Why the dramatic shift in attitude? A number of factors may be advanced by way of at least a partial explanation, as follows:
Educational innovation in Musical Language Course: responses and the overcoming of limitations
This article presents an innovative methodological proposal for the development of auditory education in the course of the Language of Music. Based on this proposal, we analyze an educational community’s response to the innovations implemented, and we identify the limitations recognized throughout the learning and teaching process, as well as the strategies developed to overcome them. To this end, we applied a qualitative methodology with the classroom-based research method. The compilation of data was carried out through participant observation, captured in the journals of the professor and researcher, interviews and analysis of documents. The research results demonstrate that patience, responsibility and perseverance in their work on behalf of the professors have been key to overcoming the limitations identified and in promoting that students enjoy and learn their class contents in meaningful ways.
