Abstract

ABSTRACT Higher Education institutions understand that there is a need to embed professional skills within degree programmes. However, evidence shows that graduates, whilst having developed good theoretical knowledge, lack experience and confidence when entering the workplace. Employers view the importance of degree-related skills as only a part of the skills needed to be work ready. This opinion piece discusses an innovative approach to curriculum design in the field of cybersecurity, which uses a project-based approach with limited formal teaching to develop students’ skills, and engages them with industry from the very outset of their course. Early indications show that the course has many successes to celebrate, but that it is not without its challenges.

南威尔士大学国家网络安全学院——培养能够“立即投入工作”的网络毕业生:一种基于创新项目的方法
高等教育机构明白,有必要在学位课程中嵌入专业技能。然而,有证据表明,毕业生虽然掌握了良好的理论知识,但在进入职场时却缺乏经验和信心。雇主认为与学位相关的技能只是工作所需技能的一部分。这篇观点文章讨论了网络安全领域课程设计的一种创新方法,该方法使用基于项目的方法和有限的正式教学来培养学生的技能,并从课程的一开始就将他们与行业联系起来。早期迹象表明,该课程取得了许多值得庆祝的成功,但也并非没有挑战。

期刊介绍: The aim of Higher Education Pedagogies is to identify, promote and publish excellence and innovations in the practice and theory of teaching and learning in and across all disciplines in higher education. The journal will provide an international forum for the sharing, dissemination and discussion of research, experience and perspectives across a wide range of teaching and learning issues. The journal will prove a valuable resource for individuals in the development and enhancement of their own practice, and for institutions in the promotion of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Higher Education Pedagogies will focus on disciplinary pedagogies and learning experiences; the higher education curriculum, i.e. what is taught and how it is developed and enhanced including both skills and knowledge; the delivery of the higher education curriculum; how it is taught and how students learn, and academic development; the role of teaching and learning in the development of academic careers and its place within the profession. Higher Education Pedagogies welcomes papers which are accessible to both specialist and generalist readers and are theoretically and empirically rigorous. Through advancing knowledge of, and practice in, teaching and learning, Higher Education Pedagogies will prove essential reading for all those who wish to stay informed of state-of-the-art teaching and learning developments in higher education. Higher Education Pedagogies is sponsored by the Higher Education Academy.
