We are living in exponential times. For ages and ages developments and the increase of knowledge of mankind went relatively slow. Man perfectly could function with the knowledge he learned from his parents and grandparents. We lived in small communities where everybody knew each other and everybody needed each other. Long ago? No, it depends on where you live. But at that places of the world which are connected at the internet, development evolved rapidly from evolution to revolution.
Now that I am nearly sixty years it appears to me that al the now existing modern electronica based technology has been development during my life. Since approximately 1995 fibreglass connects all continents and at the internet you can find all the data you need. (Major innovations and improvements which made this happens are at the field of the transducers and powerful small batteries).
But nowadays anybody connected to the internet have access to data to be gained from sources all over the world. People now themselves can be responsible for their thoughts and acts. Unless, people is educated and trained to interpret the data, to distinguish facts and fake. Development in technological, social morel economics fields at this moment are faster than ever before. Now there is no lack of information, there is an overkill of information. People can be drowned in it.
This leads to the question: “Is the way we teach still adequate?” Does education keeps up with the needs and the revolution of timeshift.

11. Summary written by our Students
Naomi Kooiker and
Dieuwe Spoelstra
At Saxion University in Enschede we offer our students project based learning, in
addition to regular classes. The main reason we use this approach is because 80%
of their future work will be concerning project management, but also most of the
knowledge gleaned during their studies will be outdated soon, especially
in technical fields.
Therefore, we teach our students concepts such as Life Long Learning (LLL), and
solving problems instead of only reproducing facts and simply answering the
questions asked. By using this method, they will develop Applicable Approved
competences.
We are encouraging our students to choose and acquire their own projects, by
doing this they will develop their own unique and outstanding resumés.
By the end of their Bachelor students will be better prepared, competent and more
confident for the work they will be doing, thereby finding their key to success and
sustainable happiness.

But solve problems
Due to the production increase, by how many square meters should our
stores expand their work floor?
Answer after research: none, but reorganize the production line
A student was asked to carry out an employee satisfaction research. The basis
of the questionnaire was drawn up by the company itself.
The result of his research was that the questionnaire drawn up by the company did
not lead to reliable results. He designed a new survey. The Executive Board loved it
and asked him to perform the survey (on a commercial basis) in all the Dutch
locations. The results will be used in redefining Human Resource Management.
