The KFS SystemTM has been conceptualised and developed as an industry insider’s approach and answer to creating institutions that bridges the gap between ‘industry’ and ‘academia’ while creating ‘employable’ human resources from both engineering/science and general streams. As an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution the KFS systemTM, has at its core the ‘Talent Transformation Engine (T2E)’ with its own pedagogy, knowledge dissemination methods and processes and assessment systems backed by a dedicated research and development team that constantly improves and updates the system based on evolving industry needs. T2E, as a pedagogical style, has been conceptualised and developed to achieve, among others, the following major outcomes:
The T2E PedagogyTM is based on the 'Knowledge Diamond'TM. This pedagogy, teaches the individual the steps beyond acquisition of knowledge itself; the pedagogy stresses on the application of knowledge, its continuous management and ultimately performance.
The customised pedagogic approach creates ‘Industry Ready’ professionals, productive from virtually day one of their employment. The Knowledge Finishing School (KFS) systemTM approach can be summarized as follows:
Globsyn started work on the T2E started way back in 1997. The framework, has over the years, undergone revisions keeping in tune with changing industry requirements. The knowledge acquisition process itself, under the T2E has been derived based on research and uses ‘learner centric’ approaches to ensure creation of optimum learning environments where acquiring and absorbing knowledge is significantly higher than in the traditional classroom. The learning environment created under the T2E, more importantly, moves beyond, as explained earlier, the knowledge acquisition phase to the knowledge application and management spheres – the bulwark for ‘performance’ orientation in students. The T2E uses diagnostic tools and assessment systems to track student levels and development over the entire learning life-cycle. The results from the assessment systems are fed to the R & D layer to constantly analyse and evolve the T2E framework. |
