Chapter seven? New skills in modern society

Future development depends on competitiveness, innovative technology and productivity ... which in turn depends on our education. julia eileen gillard

Noelbach first put forward four levels of perception in 1970s: 1. Unconscious unconscious, 2. Conscious and unconscious, 3. Consciousness and 4. Subconscious consciousness.

In modern society, the basic skills needed for life, work and study are a process of mental operation. We can help students cultivate these skills through study, practice, development and application, and finally form the fourth level of unconscious thinking habits.

Eight abilities that modern learners need:

Self-examination, interpersonal communication, problem solving, cooperation, information analysis, information communication, creativity and global awareness.

These abilities are the core elements of "growth thinking". Growth thinking is a person's ability to believe in himself, which is not innate and unchangeable, but can develop with time.

1. Self-examination ability is a person's inner ability. It's the perception attitude that appears in the mind and so on. Self-examination ability includes self-esteem, open mind, self-awareness learning ability, ability to understand and manage one's emotions, self-confidence, self-discipline, self-motivation and patience to overcome boredom.

2. Interpersonal communication ability refers to the understanding of the external environment and the ability to communicate with people. Every day, we rely on interpersonal communication and the ability to interact with others, so that we can deal with challenges and solve problems more effectively.

3. To cultivate learners' problem-solving ability, it is necessary to construct a structured mental operation process for them so that they can solve complex problems in the real world independently.

4. Collaboration ability is to solve problems in a team, expand planning and guidance skills, assume roles in a team, and organize team brainstorming to solve problems.

5. Information analysis ability means that learners can analyze and verify the information in front of them, and then absorb and chew it. We hope that learners can use the structured psychological operation of 9d model to explore and investigate information.

6. Information communication ability is the basic skill of modern society.

Creativity is our strongest competitive advantage. As educators, we must help students make good use of this intrinsic kinetic energy.

8. The so-called global consciousness refers to the efforts and achievements of protecting yourself, others, others and yourself in the real world and online world.

Chapter VIII The New Role of Educators

You can't teach children today with yesterday's lessons, but expect them to be themselves for tomorrow. Justin tate

1 1 The new role that educators must assume.

Educators must face the future.

Educators can not only teach the contents in the curriculum standards, but also help learners to cultivate the basic skills of modern society. For the future trend, educators should not only be alert, but also take the initiative to deeply understand.

Educators must study all their lives.

Educators must constantly learn new knowledge, clean up old knowledge and integrate old and new knowledge in order to continuously improve their teaching skills. Lifelong learning is the only way for our professional career and personal life.

Educators should be the guide of learning, not the authority on the platform.

The job of educators is not to show learners how smart and powerful they are, but to help learners become independent thinkers and have the ability to innovate outside the box, rather than just following other people's suggestions. The hardest working person in class should never be a teacher, but a student.

Educators must be generalists.

Today's learners don't need to be experts, but generalists. Generality means that specialized content should give way to comprehensive knowledge.

In the future education system, educators should focus on helping students, learn to use what they have learned to solve practical problems, or move towards new situations.

Educators must accept exploratory learning.

We must give learners the opportunity to explore and discover, in this process, enhance their curiosity, stimulate their interest and improve their independence.

Educators must make learning meaningful.

Real geniuses are not those who can remember a lot of information, but those who can patiently find useful information and use it to solve real-world problems and challenges.

Educators need to broaden the horizons of the curriculum.

We must teach deeper, not wider. We should link different subjects, combine learning with the real world outside school, pay attention to practical significance and practice connection, and adopt more comprehensive teaching strategies.

Educators should be evaluators of students' thinking level.

Divergent thinking is more likely to achieve results in a learning environment that encourages personal freedom, encourages adventure and allows mistakes as much as possible.

Educators must carry out comprehensive psychological education.

Educators must make students think with the whole brain and learn to use the left and right sides of the brain at the same time. We must accept that every student has different strengths and weaknesses, and adjust our teaching methods to help them develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Educators should regard technology as a learning tool.

The so-called technology is to use tools to improve productivity, no matter whether these tools were invented in18th century, 20th century or yesterday, and take technology as a tool for learners to think and communicate.

Educators need to evaluate students comprehensively.

Traditionally, we attach great importance to standardized tests, which only focus on one type of intelligence and learning. Robert Robert Jeffrey Sternberg, a psychologist at Cornell University, put forward three types of intelligence: analytical intelligence, practical intelligence and creativity.

Standardized examination can only measure a specific type of intelligence-analytical intelligence. In the future, we need to have two other kinds of intelligence-practical intelligence and creativity.
