Deocaris DIVISION COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION PHILIPPINES THE ROAD TO PHILIPPINES’ 3RD NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCH AGENDA, 2019-2028 With its engines of knowledge, innovation and ideas, higher education institutions are now considered as the most powerful sector in the world that can change lives of people for the better especially in this time when knowledge capital is ever more vital to our societies and economies. In the age of the 4th industrial revolution and internationalization, the Philippines’ ability to thrive depends more heavily on ideas and knowledge coupled with the agility of our institutions and human capital. As the regime of the 2nd National Higher Education Research Agenda, 2009-2018 (NHERA-2) comes to a close, we are now engineering a new NHERA that is envisioned to push harder Philippine higher education institutions to the frontiers of knowledge and to maximize conversion of knowledge into innovations and social goods that can help provide solutions to the grand challenges of the country. Ideas, creativity, interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration sit at the heart of the NHERA strategy. The creation of NHERA signals a step towards excellent research in all fields, from natural and health sciences, social sciences, engineering, arts, and humanities. In this talk, I will be discussing the performance and gaps based on the grants management of NHERA-2 in the past 10 years and building on from our experience, I shall be providing an overview of the new concept and strategy for research, innovation and extension for Philippine higher education institutions under the ambit of NHERA-3. 4 6th international scholars’ conference 5 SusanneLOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA,B. Montgomery USA ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR RESEARCH, SCHOOL OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INSTITUTE LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA, USA EMBRACING INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH: A CALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE Abstract: In South East Asia, health challenges now present in complex ways. Leading prevalent diseases range from preventable chronic, lifestyle– related diseases associated with affluence, to infectious diseases more commonly found in developing, low-resourced countries. In Thailand and Indonesia, the lifestyle diseases of stroke, heart disease, and diabetes are among the leading causes of death, closely followed by infectious diseases, such as lower respiratory infections and accidents in Thailand, and diarrheal diseases and malnutrition in Indonesia. This pattern is closely mirrored in the Philippines where, alongside lifestyle diseases, infection with the Dengue virus is the fourth leading cause of death. While this offers many research opportunities, its complexity presents human and monetary resources challenges to small Adventist universities that wish to make a difference to the health of their region. At the same time, the realization of the complexity of disease management and prevention has resulted in a shift from research occurring in isolated silos, to addressing issues from broader social determinants of health perspective. This lecture will explore this shift and present ideas for inter-institutional and interdisciplinary research building on the diversity of disciplines across and within our universities. Such interdisciplinary research requires an openness to broader systems thinking, research methods different to the ones we traditionally used, and patience to respect and even embrace another’s theoretical paradigms to build on each discipline’s strength, when collaborating. While these changes present a challenge, they are exciting in their potential for meaningful contributions in their broad translational applications. Keywords: lifestyle diseases, interdisciplinary research, theoretical paradigms 6 6th international scholars’ conference 7 Speakers’ Abstracts from Partner Institutions Joppi J. Rondonuwu UNIVERSITAS KLABAT, INDONESIA VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMICS, UNIVERSITAS KLABAT INDONESIA AIRMADIDI, MANADO, INDONESIA COMPATIBILITY OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST HIGHER EDUCATION WITH THE EMERGENCE OF THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN INDONESIA Abstract: The emergence of the fourth industrial revolution has resulted in creation of new job opportunities that require new hard and soft skills that were not formerly learned nor prescribed in higher education curricula. Indonesian government has endeavored to revisit curricula incorporating national standards of competencies for higher education graduates to be relevant to the skills and knowledge required in the changing job market. Adapting ASEAN Qualification Reference Framework, Indonesia has designed the so-called Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia (KKNI) or Indonesia National Qualification Framework and has been demanding that public, as well as private higher education, reframe their curricula accordingly. The KKNI ranks the emphasis on student learning outcomes as internalization of moral values and soft skills, followed by mastery of hard skills and acquisition of knowledge. As a Seventh-day Adventist higher educational institute in Indonesia, Universitas Klabat has been challenged to equip the institution by enlisting compatible Christian values and relevant skills to be taught and be developed in conventional and online classrooms. Keywords: ASEAN Qualification Reference Framework, Indonesia National Qualification Framework, soft skills, hard skills 6 6th international scholars’ conference 7 Danny I. Rantung ASIA PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, MUAK LEK, THAILAND PRESIDENT, ASIA PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY MUAK LEK, SARABURI, THAILAND NEW HEI MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP DESIGN. Abstract: Competitors are at work reshaping the higher education institution market. Five competitors in particular are having a significant effect on educational design and delivery, yet have not been met with adequate institutional response. There are companies and corporations providing on-site programs for current and future workers; corporate giants in the communications industry with a capability for distance delivery into homes, workplaces, shopping centers, and areas where people congregate. Moreover, there are supplementary education providers such as private tutoring company; high school partnering with business and industry to prepare work ready youth; and service agencies using training programs to prepare workers for many different jobs. What these competitors are doing is to create value in ways surpassing colleges and universities in forms of cost, convenience, great programs and services, customer intimacy, and maverick ideas. To address these problems, higher education institutions (HEIs) will need to consider new designs for management and leadership. Structural solutions such as “skunk works,” strategic alliance, and downsizing are interesting concepts, but they do not remove cultural impediments to competence building and renewal; they only sidestep them. To succeed, HEIs need to provide value equal to or better than competitors while working faster to maintain market share. Some of the strategic actions to be considered are identifying enduring core value; determining what should and should not change about the HEIs; and developing an organizational structure that increases speed.They can also break down boundaries and walls to innovation; prevent budgets from minimalizing college and staff performance; develop systems for planning that involve faculty and staff; and determine the capacity for collective action in carrying out the process of change. Keywords: Higher Education Institution (HEI), competitors, management, leadership 8 6th international scholars’ conference 9 Speakers’ Abstracts from Partner Institutions Francisco D.
