[RETRACTED ARTICLE] Innovation in Instruction and Learning in the Age of Digital Disruption 2570

Abstract

            The epidemic of Coronavirus 2019 has caused significant changes. Many aspects have had to change rapidly, including the economy, society, and education. At the same time, rapid technological advances have led to what is called the “Digital Disruption” era. This has resulted in even more significant and severe impacts, particularly in education. Curricula and teaching methods must be quickly updated and developed to keep up with rapid changes. It is no longer possible to use only traditional teaching methods. Instead, curricula and teaching methods must be diverse, and technology must be used to make learning exciting and engaging for learners and employers. The author has compiled various teaching concepts into a model called “SPECIE Model,” which consists of 1) Specific: unique curricula that meet the learners’ needs, such as interdisciplinary courses; 2) Program Learning: mixed teaching methods, such as Lifelong Learning, Credit Bank, Blended Learning, Hybrid Learning, and Hyflex Learning; 3) Executive: support from university administrators in areas such as technology, resources, and budget; 4) Curriculum: curricula that meet the needs of employers or stakeholders such as Sandbox, and Module or MOOCs; 5) Instructor: teachers who can integrate technology into their teaching effectively; and 6) Entrepreneur: teaching that promotes entrepreneurship among learners. All six parts must work together to design effective curricula and teaching methods to improve national education quality and develop a workforce meeting future labor market needs.
