What We Never Say Out Loud In Higher Education

This article is not wrong - "the origins of higher education... set the stage for the traditional college or university experience to be centered around the faculty and their role in the advancement of knowledge." And as Tony Bates has often observed, "higher education instructors lack formal preparation in teaching methods and curriculum design, yet 'own' the curriculum within most institutions, deciding what to teach in class and how." Obviously, this approach fails to serve the needs of students. But all this is also intolerable if you want education to serve the needs of industry, which is the probably (if unstated) point of the author. This shows up as my "1 of 5 free articles" so you might face a paywall on this, but I think it's relevant to see the article to see what talking points are being promoted. Via George Station.
