The importance of skills and why skill-based learning is fast becoming the currency of learning for the future.
Today we explored the importance of skills and why skill-based learning is fast becoming the currency of learning for the future. There is a shift away from focusing on content and instead towards learning skills that are transferable for the future. Tony Wagner shared his findings in the following clip:
Research from the World Economic Forum also reiterated the importance of these skills as we support learning as well as the ideas presented in our Why sheet - Why Skill-Based Learning.
We ended today’s session by sharing what we see as crucial skills for the future:
- Critical thinking
- Emotional Intelligence
- Social skills and learning with others
- Creative thinking and curiosity
- Listening
- Questioning and making judgements
Next week we will be discussing how we can nurture skill development in our homes and at school.
