  • Learning and innovation skills increasingly are being recognized as the skills that separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century, and those who are not.
  • A focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration is essential to prepare students for the future.
  • To be effective in the 21st century, citizens and workers must be able to create, evaluate, and effectively utilize information, media, and technology.
  • Today's students need to develop thinking skills, content knowledge, and social and emotional competencies to navigate complex life and work environments.

    This page gives an overview of a framework for 21st century skills and learning. I like how it values all of the academic disciplines and gives links to different sites that focus on broader interdisciplinary themes, innovation skills, information, media, and technology skills, and life and career skills.

    Designing the Learning Environment for Mathematics and Literacy, K to 8 Imagine the ideal learning environment for today's learner. What would it look like? Think about how much the world has changed in the last three decades and how rapidly it will continue to change in the years to come. How do we ensure that the instruction we provide is responsive to the shifting demands of the 21 st century? Researchers and practitioners in a wide range of disciplines - early childhood and developmental education, psychology and cognitive science, school architecture and design - maintain that the key to learning in today's world is not just the physical space we provide for students but the social space as well(Fraser, 2012; Helm et al., 2007; OWP/P Architects et al., 2010). The learning environment, they suggest, is "the third teacher" that can either enhance the kind of learning that optimizes our students' potential to respond creatively and meaningfully to future challenges or detract from it. Susan Fraser, for example, writes: "A classroom that is functioning successfully as a third teacher will be responsive to the children's interests, provide opportunities for children to make their thinking visible and then fosterfurtherlearning and engagement." (2012, p. 67)

  • If we did that to exams, the curriculum would have to be different. We would not need to emphasise facts or figures or dates. The curriculum would have to become questions that have strange and interesting answers. "Where did language come from?", "Why were the pyramids built?", "Is life on Earth sustainable?", "What is the purpose of theatre?" Questions that engage learners in a world of unknowns. Questions that will occupy their minds through their waking hours and sometimes their dreams.
  • We don't need to improve schools. We need to reinvent them for our times, our requirements and our future. We don't need efficient clerks to fuel an administrative machine that is no longer needed. Machines will do that for us. We need people who can think divergently, across outdated "disciplines", connecting ideas across the entire mass of humanity. We need people who can think like children.

      "knowledge leak" - great phrasing.  Easy to condescendingly look at others, but as I struggle to incorporate and use emerging technology, I have to realize that I too am guilty of not being current in my field, in the area of technology.  A humbling realization!

  • Sheer IQ is not sufficient for innovation, or even as important as current knowledge.
  • Justin Medved on 21 Oct 13
     
    "Every discipline is experiencing accelerated development, and the rapid knowledge obsolescence that goes with it. Cushing Anderson of IDC puts it well:  "Knowledge leak is the degradation of skills over time, and it … can kill organizational performance in as little as a couple of years." While it might have seemed reasonable in an era of slower change to put the onus on the individual to maintain his or her currency, firms today must make it their business to counter this leakage."
