Layman's description
Searching for and distilling key themes that underpin future directions in education and research
Key findings
Recent seminal discourse on the future of education and research can be distilled into ten themes: TENSION PARADOX, ECOSYSTEM ENRICHMENT, PHRONESIS vs. COMMODIFICATION, ACCESS vs. ELITE CREDENTIALISATION, STRATEGIC COLLABORATION, NURTURING EMOTIONAL & SOCIAL WELLBEING, FUNDING: RECONFIGURING CAPITALISM, JUDICIOUS TECHNOLOGY, INVESTMENT IN PEOPLE, DEMOCRATISING DIALOGUE. Analysis suggests, the most salient dimensions are PHRONESIS vs. COMMODIFICATION and STRATEGIC COLLABORATION. In effect, recent managerialist educational reforms that appeared superficially transformative were, actually, often fundamentally misguided. Second, impactful research in, for example, deep tech, resilience or health calls for strategic interdisciplinary collaboration.
