Abstract

As society evolves and students' needs rapidly change, educators are expected to keep exploring strategies to enhance the teaching and learning process. This chapter documents the approaches adopted to redesign a general education (GNED) course to foster students' authentic learning. Using a qualitative strategy, data collection and analyses were done to determine students' views of education and how they will support innovation, drawing on the redesigned course. The results indicate a variation in male and female understanding of education and its purposes, even though they all generally see it as a tool for societal transformation. The results also show that students consider involvement in innovation in the country essential and highlight measures they will take, including awareness campaigns, nurturing younger generations, and preserving cultural heritage. Based on the results, implications of the findings for stakeholders, such as instructors and institution leaders, are shared.
