Abstract

For enhanced learning outcomes that meet the entrepreneurial needs of the learner and that of society, innovation is relevant in the planning and organizing of content, learning objectives, pedagogical approaches, and educational resources used in teaching and learning. Clear learning objectives, sequencing, assessment alignment, integration of 21st�century knowledge skills, and inclusivity address the educational needs of the learner. Placing the learner at the centre of the learning process is what 21st�century society demands. Since we are in the wake of the fourth industrial revolution; the period of artificial intelligence, the traditional ways of involving learners in the classroom need to be upgraded. Learners need to be empowered to take an active role in their education. This involves the need for innovation in the design of the curriculum and how the teaching and learning process is carried out. Student-centred instruction recognizes that students should be active in learning, have creative and critical thinking skills, have a collaborative spirit regarding learning, and develop the spirit of critical inquiry. This is the need for this theoretical study. There is a need for innovation when designing courses taught in universities. To meet the needs of the learner and society in this fourth industrial revolution, the injection of creative problem-solving skills; a key to entrepreneurial spirit goes a long way in helping the learner to be useful to self and society.
