  • Education cannot give learners all the information that they need to know, but rather it must provide the tools for continuing to learn.
  • The business world is fast recognizing that to be successful in modern society it is essential to work smarter.
  • Workforce skills are not specific job skills but rather more broad understandings that provide one the abilities to quickly adapt to new job-skill demands.

  • Education cannot give learners all the information that they need to know, but rather it must provide the tools for continuing to learn.

  • Some examples of skills essential for the modern workforce are:

      

    • The work requires one to research possible causes of problems.

    • The work requires one to isolate factors that are possible causes of problems.

    • The work requires one to arrive at resolutions to problems by brainstorming with other people.

    • The work requires one to search for information stored in computer files by using electronic data research skills.

    • The work requires one to write clearly to convey complex information to other people to describe situations or events and to make recommendations.

    • The work requires one to interpret correlations by comparing two sets of data.

  • Education is not preparing students for a world that is static and fixed. Rather, education must prepare learners to cope with changes that will increase in complexity throughout their lives and many of which cannot be foreseen at this time.
  • Education cannot give learners all the information that they need to know, but rather it must provide the tools for continuing to learn.
  • There is a very deeply held view on the part of many educators, parents, and other members of society that inquiry learning takes too much time and that it is much more efficient for students simply to be given the information they need to know. This point of view is strongly reinforced by the kinds of things students are expected to know to pass the majority of tests they are given. There are those educators and discipline experts who feel they have known and continue to know what knowledge is most important.
  • Many, especially older, people have not mentally moved past the time when our country was an industrial, or even an agrarian, place. Those were times that moved more slowly and did not require workers and companies to constantly "work smarter" to stay ahead of global competitors.
  • eventually will enter the world of work. Even for the small number who do not enter the workforce, all will have to resolve ever increasingly complex problems throughout life.

  • Surveys of business communities regarding workforce skills reveal interesting findings. Workforce skills are not specific job skills but rather more broad understandings that provide one the abilities to quickly adapt to new job-skill demands. Some examples of skills essential for the modern workforce are:

      

    • The work requires one to research possible causes of problems.

    • The work requires one to isolate factors that are possible causes of problems.

    • The work requires one to arrive at resolutions to problems by brainstorming with other people.

    • The work requires one to search for information stored in computer files by using electronic data research skills.

    • The work requires one to write clearly to convey complex information to other people to describe situations or events and to make recommendations.

    • The work requires one to interpret correlations by comparing two sets of data.

  • ou will notice there is very little stress on knowing specific kinds of content information. This omission is probably influenced by the fact that content knowledge is changing very rapidly, and little content knowledge is retained if it is not constantly used.
