COLLEGE YAYASAN PAHANG - An Adaptive University
Adaptive Learning: Advancing Educational Innovation
Adaptive is the key concept
to the implementation of strategies in UCYP particularly in Academic
Excellence, Teaching & Learning, Research & Innovation, Students
Experience, Community Engagement, Alumni Network, Branding & Marketing,
Industry Engagement, Internationalisation, Human Capital Development, Physical &
Intellectual Infrastructure as well as Financial Sustainability. Unlike the
institutional change which only focuses on the relationship between schools and
their cultural environments and adaptive institution is able to drive the
institution to a direction that maintains and improves the institute to its
desired state (Hughes, 2018). An adaptive institute includes participatory,
inclusiveness, integrity, risk tolerance, flexibility, legitimacy, accountability,
diversity, creativity, iterative, learning, autonomous, resourcefulness,
self-assessing, collaborative, transparency and reflexive that should be
integrated with the broader process of exposure (Koontz et. al, 2015).
According to Pahl and Wostl (2009), being able to cope with multiple objectives
inherent in a social-ecological system is also among the traits of an adaptive
institution. The features demonstrated by an Adaptive University are relevant
to the present demands of educational transformation.
Another concept embraced by
UCYP apart from an adaptive institution (that consequently leads to adaptive
learning) is innovation. Innovation is one of the essential demands in the
Education Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). “Education 4.0 will be shaped by innovations
and will indeed have to train students to produce innovations”, (Haseeb, 2018).
It has been proven in
numerous studies that creativity and innovation drive progress and allow
organizations to maintain competitive advantage (Anderson, De Dreu, &
Nijstad, 2004; Zhou & Shalley, 2003 cited in Hughes et.al, 2018). In the era of IR 4.0, jobs that require creativity and innovation are likely to stay.
Irrespective of discipline, Education 4.0 must be able to produce highly
creative and innovative graduates with the ability to think critically. Thus,
UCYP is molding graduates with critical skills in order to face the challenges
in the future. Graduates must be innovative and have the cognitive
flexibility to deal with complexity. This is due to the fact that, later, many
of them will be co-working not only with a man but also machines. In reference
to that, in order to produce innovative graduates, an innovative concept is the
next crucial element implemented by the university.
All in all, the elements of adaptive and innovation create a way to an
Adaptive Learning: Advancing Educational Innovation. Both elements become the
soul of the university college or rather grow into or turn out to be the whole
concept of the University College of Yayasan Pahang.
