RESUMEN
After two years of online learning, minor changes happened in some tiny places which we may not always notice. These changes may impact the school management, education arrangement, and curriculum design: what do students expect from their teachers, and the school? Are they expecting forever online learning, and getting their degree completely online? In this study, we examined 93 final-year students from the school of computing science which mainly used work-based learning applied to learn pedagogy. We analyze their viewpoint on how COVID-19 changed their understanding of teaching and learning: what is the role of teachers and students? And how do they see the arrangement for the internship program? We found that over 92% of students agree that a creditable degree can better secure a job;over 68% of the students believed that face-to-face teaching is still a better choice, but at the same time, over 73% wish to have the materials recorded so that they can access them at their convenience time. We also examined some of the course design elements, especially those related to the internship program, to achieve a possible curriculum improvement for the students in the Asia Pacific region. © 2022 ACM.
RESUMEN
Teaching courses such as Final Year Project (FYP) involves lots of ideas exchange between project supervisor and the students: how can they communicate effectively over the monitor in this year-long study is challenging. FYP often represented a consolidated output which summarizes what they learned in the four years program. This production is valuable to the graduates themselves and their future employers. Influenced by the worldwide start-up waves: supportive government policies, and the mature technology infrastructure turned what students learned from school into something impactful to the society, FYP became one of the keys to this door. In this chapter, we will discuss the global needs concern from the SME perspectives: how the new economy interacts with people under the gig economy. We will talk about how the technology was used, applied, and backboned the innovation project completed by the FYP students by showing two successful example cases. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
