Further Study to be Completive in Working Areas
...hen applied instrumentally towards pragmatic ends. For example, the pedagogic methodologies have been generated and evolved with an attempt to help students learn more effectively; electric light was born when the theories of magnetism and electricity was administered. Thus, the knowledge attained from academic studies would only flourish, rather than perish, when served for practical purposes in the work context. Consequently, the achievement of the aim, knowledge application to practical work, has been prioritized among the aims listed in the first paragraph. Two stages, among others, stand out as quintessential. Stage one requires the transformation of the acquired content knowledge, that is, to externalize the learned theories and known-facts from the academic study. Internalization of knowledge, or acquiring the ready facts, is the first step of this stage, which involves memorization and repeated practices to this end. Step two asks for virtually producing the acquired knowledge in the forms of writing, speaking or actually doing it. That is when students are transforming the acquired content knowledge, which is dead, to convertible living forms of their own. Take doing presentation for instance, students are collecting and filtering information, and then only after thorough comprehension could they reproduce, or transform the ready knowledge into their own presentation, combined with personal contribution as well. Stage two is much more demanding than stage one. It requires establishing and developing a mammoth host of qualities or competences with which the transformable knowledge acquired in stage one could be applied to practical work. They serve as the bridging mechanism that liaisons the academic air and the real working land. Here is a list of competences provided by Terence Chung (1999), a prominent Kongkong HR professional, when recruiting high-caliber graduates: „« Action orientation „« Time management „« Creativity „« Flexibility „« Resilience „« Persuasiveness „« Quality orientat...
