Tiivistelmä
Rising out of recession, Finland needs a new kind of orientation in order to compete successfully in the international market. Business practices must be
developed in ways that facilitate faster updating and production of innovations.
Continuous change also means continuous learning, which requires that higher education and working life intertwine and cooperate more tightly than before, adopting new forms of learning.
In this book, several writers describe a new style of learning, or actually a number of different styles, developed at Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences. The ecosystem of learning, which has been named the LCCE® concept(Learning and Competence Creating Ecosystem), is the term for a highly varied style of working, which enables the university of applied sciences to respond to the abovementioned change in society. In the LCCE® concept, all students work in cooperation with businesses in real working life situations solving problems or completing assignments that have been designed together.
The teacher’s task becomes one of planning, guiding and coordinating learning processes. Businesses function as partners on a contractual basis, with representatives contributing for their part by giving continuous feedback
on the students’ work and performance. In the LCCE® process, the student, teacher and business are all learning.
The Learning and Competence Creating Ecosystem (LCCE®) has been presented by Kymenlaakso University of Applied Science department of international trade and culture as a candidate for a Centre of Excellence in University of Applied Sciences Education for the years 2010-2013.
