To support German VET providers in their internationalisation, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has created two funding programs 'Vocational Training Export' (BEX; 2010-2017) and 'Internationalisation of Vocational Education' (IBB; 2017-2022) for the development of international business models in VET. In this paper,…

While the Triple Helix and Quadruple Helix models are popular in innovation studies, the relations between them have not been addressed extensively in the literature. There are diverse interpretations of helix models in empirical studies that apply them, but these sometimes deviate from the original theses of the models. Such a situation can…

This article addresses the new forms and relationships to work currently developing, in line with the upheavals of the Anthropocene. Occupational and counseling psychology are developing models that increasingly integrate systemic and contextual dimensions to understand careers and work-related issues. We propose a theoretical model…

It has always been a crucial question as to what kind of education should be provided to practitioners working at different levels of public administration, starting from the street level onwards, and what kind of interactions should be used to develop their competencies once in office. However, especially in the last 30 years, as we have entered…

The innovation capability largely determines the initiative for future development of a region. Higher school is the main position for training innovative talents. Accurate and comprehensive assessment of innovation cultivation capability is an important basis of higher schools for continuous improvement. Thus, this paper focuses on assessing…

This study addresses the significant challenges faced by higher vocational colleges in Guangxi, China, particularly in educational resource allocation, teaching innovation, and quality assurance. The research introduces the 3E Model, an innovative management approach that integrates three key components: Establishing a Teaching Center (ETC),…

This research addresses the pressing need for innovative educational frameworks that foster creativity and innovation in online learning environments. The study develops and validates a comprehensive model integrating STEAM education, micro-learning principles, and augmented reality (AR) technology within massive open online courses (MOOCs).…

The research aims to identify the deformations inherent in the innovation model of development and find ways to overcome these deformations in the specific conditions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution using the tools available through the digital transformation of the economy. The research is based on the dialectical method of knowledge, methods…

We share lessons gained through supporting an institution-wide curriculum innovation via a post-graduate professional learning program. At the inception of the innovation, an intensive Block Model (BM) was unfamiliar to both the institution and its professional learning facilitators. The Graduate Certificate of Tertiary Education was re-modelled…

Measuring innovation is key to realizing innovation in practice. One of the primary reasons why measurement is important stems from the fundamental principle that what is measured is, in turn, what garners attention and action. Systematic measurement of innovation can enable researchers and practitioners to propose and undertake strategic…

Inherent Simmelian foundations anchor the theoretical base of the Triple Helix model. The Triple Helix model polishes the theoretical lens of Georg Simmel, revealing the empirical basis of intermediating ties in entrepreneurship and innovation. This Viewpoint article takes the path-breaking weak and strong ties approach of Mark Granovetter a step…

This academic article aims to present the principles of systematic design and development of educational innovations through research methodology, alongside protocols for effectiveness evaluation. The design and development of contemporary educational innovation require integration between principles of innovation and technology implementation,…

Disruptions in today's higher education landscape require a different approach to community college leadership. Fostering innovation demands leaders adopt practices that seed an innovative mindset and build an innovative culture more resilient to changing circumstances.

Embryology is an essential component to understanding human anatomy. It requires an in-depth understanding of 3D knowledge but is primarily taught with 2-dimensional resources. In particular, the development of the human heart is a complex process and difficult to understand using traditional teaching methods. We present here a series of heart…

Purpose: Few resources exist to incorporate principles of modular approach to course design. This research aimed to help instructors by presenting principles for practical and empirically informed modular course design in engineering education. Design/methodology/approach: In the first phase, a systematic literature review was completed to…
