Educational Development Theory --- Modification of Education

Modification of Education

Education sometimes needs revision. There are three main things that need to be modified in education. One is that the education itself is wrong, one is that the education is imbalanced and likely to lead to wrong thinking, and one is that the business is not doing well on the basis of that education. . Any modification of education must be carefully examined to ensure that the modification itself does not become a deterioration.

Modification of Education

If the education itself is wrong, it needs to be corrected. It's easy to fix mistakes that are obvious to everyone, such as typos or errors in numbers. However, it is difficult to correct the part that is interpreted differently depending on the person, whether it is correct or incorrect. In particular, if the voices of those who stick to wrong education are loud, they will not be able to correct it, and wrong education will continue forever.
Education costs money, and it's not good for companies if the wrong education continues forever. Wrong education will only become a burden and the company will not be able to achieve good results. In order for a company to achieve good results, it is necessary to create a system that can firmly correct wrong education without being swayed by people with loud voices so that the education they are implementing can produce good results.
If education is out of balance and likely to cause wrong thinking, it also needs to be fixed. Even if the education itself is not wrong, bias in the content of education makes it easier for people to have wrong thoughts and take wrong actions.
The same is true if running on that education doesn't work for your business. If you think you have a good education but your business is not improving, you should also consider revising your education.
In any case, let's take a good look at the facts and incorporate the review and correction of education based on the facts.

Purpose of Education

For managers, education is an important issue that cannot be overlooked. Education will become more and more important in business in the future. Business education has three main purposes. One is to acquire necessary knowledge. One is to develop the ability to think. And one is to acquire the ability to execute. We can expect the effect of education only when we can acquire knowledge, thinking ability, and ability to act.

Methods of Education

There are several methods of education. One way is to have a teacher and teach the students. One is a method where there is no teacher and only assignments are given to the students to think and act on their own or in teams. One method is to designate someone as a teacher, have someone teach, and give 'awareness' through that 'teaching'. Because teaching is also learning at the same time.

Means of Education

Today, the means of education are also diversified. The nature of education changes depending on the means of education, such as text-based education, role-play education, OJT, video-based education, free assignment and report-based education, and game-based education. In order to realize more effective and efficient education, it is quite important to choose the means of education.

Development of Education

In-house education will be fixed as it is. A fixed education system runs the risk of becoming obsolete and ultimately becoming a detriment to businesses. To make education effective in business, it is important to continue to develop it. First of all, it is important not to fix education, but to continue to improve it, and to create a better education by incorporating a wide variety of ideas and harmonizing them.

Modification of Education

Education sometimes needs revision. There are three main things that need to be modified in education. One is that the education itself is wrong, one is that the education is imbalanced and likely to lead to wrong thinking, and one is that the business is not doing well on the basis of that education. . Any modification of education must be carefully examined to ensure that the modification itself does not become a deterioration.

Confirming Educational Effectiveness

For business development, it is important for managers to confirm the effectiveness of education and make efforts to improve it. The educational effect spreads to various people such as companies, customers, rivals, local people, and suppliers. In addition, the effects are not limited to short-term effects, but there are also effects that will finally come out in the medium and long term. There may be some side effects that employers do not want. In order to improve education, it is important to accurately confirm their effects as widely as possible.

Learning by Teaching Things

To teach is to learn at the same time. Being able to do something and being able to teach something are two different skills. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you can teach it to others. Teaching requires taking what you've done so far and putting it together in a way that others can understand how it can be done. By constructing a way of teaching something, you can relearn the essence of that thing.

Education as an Investment

Education is an investment for companies. Investments are expensive. Since you are going to invest at a cost, you need to think about when and how you will recover the cost of your investment. It can be said that it was a meaningful education for the company only when the investment cost can be recovered. Managers should understand the cost and recovery of their own education and strive to improve it.

Education Business

There are various educational businesses in the world. Education is a business, not only in exam prep schools, but also in languages, qualifications, business schools, etc. For managers, it is effective to make good use of the education business and use it for the education of company members. However, a reputable education in a well-known education business may not always work for your corporate business.

Education Outcomes

Education brings many benefits. If you can know what kind of education you can get and what kind of results you can get, you can see what kind of education you should emphasize. In order to implement better education, it is important to grasp the results of the current education. If you do not understand the results of education or misunderstand it, you may continue the wrong education or stop the necessary education.

Education and Enterprise Development

The development of education and the development of business go hand in hand. Companies are keen on education to gain a competitive edge and succeed in the market. The development of education in companies is linked to the development of companies. Companies that neglect education are left behind. In order to develop as a company, it is important to develop education.

The Harm of Education

Education does not only bring benefits and results. In some cases, it may bring undesirable effects to the company. Educating your employees can be detrimental. Also, in some cases, people who have received some kind of education join a company, and their thoughts and actions may interfere with corporate activities. Managers are required to think about the harmful effects of education and their countermeasures.

Education Issues

Education poses many problems for companies. The cost and time required for education can be an issue. Friction may arise between those who are educated and those who are not. Attempts to change the way work is done through education can actually lead to poor business performance. You should not let problems arise even though you have gone to great lengths to educate them. Companies must strive to address and prevent problems through education.

Deterioration of Education

Education can deteriorate over time. There are cases where employees have doubts about degraded education, but continue to receive it. Some of them continue to take the education in silence, even though they know it won't work in practice. The fact that good results are not achieved even if you go to great lengths to educate may be due to the constitution of the organization that keeps education degraded.

Education and Speed

Education needs speed. In order to implement speedy education, it is necessary to set up a plan and build an educational curriculum that eliminates waste. But it's not just about being fast. Education should neither be too fast nor too slow. Businesses are required to provide timely, effective, and efficient education to those who need it.

PDCA in Education

The introduction of the PDCA cycle is effective in implementing better education. By repeating P (planning), D (doing), C (checking), and A (action), the content of education itself can be improved or reformed. Especially for companies, we aim to improve and reform by verifying the results of the education we are implementing and considering the actions that should be taken from there.
