What are the barriers to transform the book knowledge into practice(working) knowledge?
Sultan,
From what perspective? The question is somewhat vague without applying a clear context to it. There are many barriers - but also many different factors that determine how those barriers are overcome.
Dean,
Thanks Agreed the context is in terms of health sciences and management graduates to apply what they learned to serve the community effectively, for instances some are excellent in grades and may not reflect in practice.How to address?
Hi Sultan,
Thanks for the further clarification. It's not an easy one to answer. Once graduates are in the workforce, then their personal practice may well not reflect their previous academic achievements. Some students naturally are more 'gifted' at academic work and other more practice-based work. That's human nature. Some course are just theory-based - so it's difficult to predict how a student will perform in practice. To me, the best way to overcome this is to ensure that, in the health and management programmes, that the students are exposed to and assessed equally with both. For instance, in our undergraduate nursing programmes - half the course is theory, the other half is clinical practice. Students have to perform well and pass both aspects of the programme throughout. If they qualify - that then means that they have proven themselves capable - both academically and practically in the workplace.
This can happen only if you spend time in the workshop and Industry and convert bookish knowledge into practice.
