Dr Pailin CHUCHOTTAWORN
Chairman of the Board and Independent Director the Global Power Synergy
Public Company Limited
Dr Pailin was the Chairman of the Council of Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) and the Chairman of Kamnoetvidya Science Academy (KVIS) Executive Board. His past experience includes the former Deputy Minister of Transport, high-level executive and advisor to the Royal Thai Government, private companies and educational institutions with expertise on the education, economics, investments and energy industry in Thailand.
Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic catastrophically affected aspects of life around the world, including education. Educational institutions in Thailand had to adopt the digital transformation immediately, triggering many questions. What and how the executives of educational institutions could do to tangibly support or direct a successful education in the New Normal? What will be the national direction of education? These were some of the challenges that the executives of educational institutions had to face.

She is a senior lecturer (university pedagogy) at Faculty of Education and Culture, Tampere University, Finland, and a co-leader of research group Higher Education in Transition (https://research.tuni.fi/het). She has a title of docent (adjunct professor), in the field of teaching in higher education at the University of Turku, Finland. In 2020-2021, she is a visiting fellow at Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS), Uppsala University, and in 2019, she was a visiting fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Since 2016, she has been several times a visiting professor in RMUTT in Thailand. Her research focus on curriculum change in higher education. In her work, she elaborates critically contemporary trends in higher education, but also tries to find meaningful and theoretically elaborated solutions for academic practice. At present, she investigates the nature of knowledge in a so-called ‘hybrid curriculum’ – in initiatives where a curriculum or parts of it are united in a research-intensive university and a university of applied sciences – and teachers’ role in making decisions about knowledge in a curriculum of this kind.
Curriculum making is a repeated part of work in universities. If curriculum making is understood as pedagogical and educational development, it requires collaboration between different actors. Academics’ have an irreplaceable role in that process as knowledge experts (scholars) and as educational experts (teachers). Curriculum making offers a place to negotiate of the relationship between university and working life, research and teaching, theory and practice, the roles of students and teachers, and individual and collaborative work cultures. These negotiations have a connection to the institutional and disciplinary traditions, cultures and practices, and the contemporary changes in the world of work, society, and educational policy, and the students for whom the education is intended. This presentation focus on the academics who act as curriculum creators in higher education, asking: what are the possibilities, challenges and tensions they face in curriculum making processes, and how to make that process a meaningful part of academic work.
