21st' century skills

Because times are so demanding and revolutionary that we need new and different abilities.  We need new skills like critical thinking, problem solving,  information literacy and global awareness.  Other important skills include collaboration across networks, agility and adaptability, initiative and entrepreneurialism , effective oral and written communication, and accessing and analyzing information.

    kritiese denke en probleem oplossings vermoe in die 21ste eeu is baie belangrik! Jy moet buite die boks kan dink om te kan oorleef

    Daar bestaan 'n groot behoefte vir probleem oplossing. Veral in die tyd wat ons leef en te staan kom onder ekonomiese- en sosiale druk. Misdaad is beslis een oorsaak waar iemand nie toegerus is met probleem oplossings vaardighede nie.

    tog kan ons nie lewenslange leer verseker as daar nie genoeg opgeleide onderwysers is, wat beskik oor die nodige vaardighede en vermoe beskik om leerders se kritiese denke te ontwikkel om probleme te ontwikkel nie.
    en arm mense met swak sosio- ekenomiese omstandighede wat nie die toerusting besit om kommunikasie vaardighede( tegnelogie) te kan toepas en te gebruik nie.
    asook hoe leer ons leerders rondom global green peace as ons as onderwysers self sie aarde beskadig en nie die voorbeeld stel wst van ons as onderwysers verwag word nie?
    dus moet al die aspekete in die kurrikulum aangespreek word om leerders lewenslange leerders te kan maak.( 29098417)
