THE NETHERLANDS
Port-cities have always played a pivotal role in each of the previous Industrial Revolutions. Ports have thrived because all Industrial Revolutions up until now relied on trade of raw materials: coal and iron ore since the 18th century, whereas oil and gas was added to the commodity mix since late 19th century. Still today, world’s largest ports float on oil. What does the transition into the next Industrial Revolution mean to port-cities around the world and what knowledge and education institutes can do to reap the rewards?This contribution to the 15th AIVP conference in the form of a concise essay is a reflection of inductive viewpoints coming from a research project on learning mechanisms in port public-private partnerships and are subject for empirical studies.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTIONNew (digital) technologies, dynamics in demography and markets bring professionals in a continuous state of flux. The table below provides an overview of relevant systems transitions in global production systems, logistics and the human factor therein. Roughly speaking these systems transitions take place when breakthrough inventions in both energy, transportation and technology happen simultaneously.
Classes for the massesWhereas the master used to teach his apprentices his craftsman’s techniques over years and years of specialization, mass production in the 20th century made the human factor an insignificant element in a big machine.
With mass production came mass education. Learning was taken away from the workshop and into school factories. Since then, schools have been striving for the same economies of scale as in a manufacturing. Schools became highly efficient in terms of output, i.e. more students, however became ineffective in terms of outcome, a growing misfit with the profession.
Education follows marketOne of the challenges for education institutes in the school system as we know it now is that education follows market, and often at a much slower pace. Student outcomes are set well in advance and are therefore less flexible than changes in the professional field often require. Next to that, on-the-job competencies change and are out of date quickly.
Today, professionals will have to engage in life-long learning. They need to be adaptable, be open to adopt new technologies and ways of working - and thereby stay employable over the span of their careers. The question is whether this professional really needs to go back to school?
PROCESSFrom formal learning interventions to informal cyclesThe education institute of today centers around creating learning interventions - also for professionals - in a formalised setting: classrooms, rosters, schedules, cohorts, all planned in detail. Indeed, it is almost like master scheduling a production line. Again, this is the heritage of the age of economies of scale, which made sense as knowledge was captured with fixed resources in a contained setting. Nowadays, demand and supply of knowledge is easily done over the internet via online platforms. Moreover, the real learning for professionals takes place on the workfloor itself, at least when organizations have mechanisms in place for reflection and recapitulation of the ‘what went wells’ and ‘what went not so well’, and know how to avoid negative effects of dominant logic and group think behavior.
Formal learning interventions may still be necessary, but the bottom line is that learning is brought back to the place where it works best: in practice.
So we don’t need schools anymore?Sure we do. Schools are still the best place to bring general knowledge to young people. When students move on, society expects them to be fit for the job. Key point is to make these (vocational) programmes specific enough. That requires a learning environment which gradually builds in more reality: from classroom examples to workshops, from simulators and serious games to internships, and from a proof of competence to a profession. Secondly, it needs also to be realistic. An interactive engagement - as often as possible - between learner and teacher ànd the industry field aims to reduce the gap between the knowledge and skills acquired and the professional proficiency required.
Innovation circlesThe challenge for schools is to define, implement and embed a practice in which students, lecturers and professionals are engaged in so-called innovation circles, in which they participate in experiments, tests and prototyping using the makerspaces, field labs, simulators or workshops.
Thereby, students are not just consumers of knowledge but become creators themselves, while at the same time building a professional network on the go.
The interaction between business and education is facilitated through so-called communities of practice, which can be considered as learning cycles.
• Centres of Expertise (higher education) and Centres of Excellence (vocational education) across the country with active communities of practice
• Field labs: Makerspace community that has landed in many places around the world, including Rotterdam.
• Innovation challenges; other examples are the numerous contests by companies like the Shell Ecomarathon, Solar Challenge, the MarineMasterMind and World Port Hackathon. For these contests, these companies call upon innovators, thereby blurring the boundaries between student and professional.
CONCLUSION: WHAT CAN WE LEARN?
Transition in motionSTC-Group, is Rotterdam’s largest education and training institute for the shipping, port and (petro-) chemical industry and works closely together with other vocational and higher education institutes and universities via centres of excellence (process & maintenance), logistics and maritime technology. Abovementioned viewpoints are being implemented as present, which means that they are being embedded within the educational programmes. Output, outcome and impact are closely monitored and evaluated.
