Strategies To Enhance Teaching And Learning In A Rapidly Changing Economy

Abstract

The Singapore economy is undergoing rapid structural changes with new industries emerging while old industries slow down.  This means that workers have to constantly acquire new knowledge and skills to take on the new challenges in the economy.  Teaching and learning in a changing economy takes on a new perspective in the light of a rising number of adult learners who work by day and become students in the evening.  This paper examines the different strategies that lecturers could implement to enhance their teaching and facilitate students in their learning experiences.
