The world of work is being impacted by a fourth industrial revolution, transformed by artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. With forecasts suggesting large shares of workers, displaced by automation, in need of upskilling/reskilling, the design of active skills policies is necessary. Conventional methods used to anticipate…

Recent decades have seen an increasing emphasis on linking the content and aims of science teaching to what the average citizen requires in order to participate effectively in contemporary society, one that is heavily dependent on science and technology. However, despite attempts to define what a scientific education for citizenship should ideally…

The present article introduces the Fuzzy Delphi method results obtained in the study on determining e-Portfolio elements in learning process for art and design context. This method bases on qualified experts that assure the validity of the collected information. In particular, the confirmation of elements is based on experts' opinion and…

The concerns about the use of a modified scree test in analyzing data from Delphi surveys may not be important if the scree test data are weighted. Factors important to the study can be incorporated into the test, and the ordinate on the graph can be labeled accordingly. (SLD)

Three problems affecting the use of a modified scree test in analyzing Delphi survey data are discussed: (1) the adequacy of the criterion; (2) the complexity of decision making; and (3) the nature of the Delphi panel. Using the modified scree test with these considerations in mind is suggested. (SLD)

The Delphi technique, used in planning where convergence of opinion is desirable, is described, along with its limitations and the methodological problems that may arise with its use. (MLW)

Discusses how higher education institutions can develop appropriate and adequate plans that maximize the increase in technology in both administration and teaching; considers the formation of faculty advisory groups for decision making; and describes a Delphi survey of faculty senate leaders about how faculty should be involved in planning for…

This study describes the basic mathematics programs used in, and develops a set of recommendations for, the curriculum at Saddleback College. A survey of the mathematics chairpersons of 105 California community colleges and of the mathematics department faculty was conducted for use in beginning a four-part Delphi exercise. Based on the results of…
