Baseline assessment for transition monitoring
Tertiary education is facing a fundamental shift. A new transition monitor from DRIFT and Risbo, commissioned by Npuls, shows how the system is changing, where innovation is emerging and which patterns are actually holding back innovation. This report is the baseline measurement. In the coming years, an annual assessment will be carried out to monitor the state of transition throughout the Npuls programme.
Wat?
This document describes the further education transition monitor developed by DRIFT and Risbo on behalf of Npuls. The monitor maps out how tertiary education (mbo, hbo, wo) is changing. The monitor not only looks at individual innovations, but at the broader systemic change (transition). It focuses on five themes that will determine the future of further education: value-driven digitalisation, flexible learning pathways, the shift from student to learner, learning with and from society, and new competences and roles for education professionals. The monitor examines both the development of new practices and the dismantling of existing structures and habits. The baseline measurement shows that there is considerable capacity for innovation and that initiatives and collaborations are emerging everywhere, but also that upscaling and structural embedding are hindered by factors including funding, regulations, quality frameworks and dominant views on good education. The monitor forms the basis for a multi-year learning and reflection process in which the direction, pace and depth of the transition in further education are systematically tracked.
Voor wie?
Policy-makers and administrators in tertiary education (vocational, higher professional and university education), programme managers and project leaders working on digitalisation, flexibility and lifelong learning, education professionals and teams working on educational reform, and anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the systemic changes taking place in the Dutch further education sector.
Samenvatting
Tertiary education is under pressure to organise itself and justify its existence in a fundamentally different way. The growing demand for flexibility and lifelong learning, together with the opportunities and concerns surrounding digitalisation, makes it clear that minor adjustments may no longer suffice.
To make this potential transition visible, DRIFT and Risbo have developed a transition monitor on behalf of Npuls. This monitor focuses on five interrelated themes: value-driven digitalisation, flexible learning pathways, the shift from student to learner, learning with and from society, and new roles and competences for education professionals.
The baseline measurement shows that there are many innovation initiatives, but that structural embedding is hampered by existing funding systems, regulations, quality frameworks and deeply rooted views on good education. The monitor thus makes it clear that transition is not only about new solutions, but also about breaking existing patterns.
Npuls uses the monitor as the basis for a multi-year learning and reflection process, so that developments in further education can be systematically tracked and the education sector is provided with a mirror reflecting the direction, pace and depth of current changes.
