We are already in an age of high tech and artificial intelligence. What skills will be needed to ensure that we are equipped to deal with the future changes to the world of work?
The more teachers I train, the more I find that they are trained to teach children who are not struggling.
Once a child does not understand, they use the same method which already failed the child - they re-explained – only slower and better.
Notwithstanding this, the numbers of children in different classes who do not understanding do not decrease, to the contrary the numbers grow.
It seems to me that most children do not have an explain learning style.
I discovered that they have a thinking-learning style.
It is learners who are spoon-fed with PowerPoint sides and therefore not empowered to seek facts themselves.
The more I work with teachers trained in Thinking Tools, the more I notice the difference in their students.
As a training company we realised that our unemployment rate is growing at a fast rate because we do not have entrepreneurs being developed to absorb the extending pool of graduates or our matric students after completion of their studies.
We decided to come up with a book which addresses how one can develop to be a successful entrepreneur. In the past we used to say entrepreneurs are born, not developed, it was then argued and discovered that some are even developed and mentored.
When the education system does the wrong things right, society is very unforgiving.
If you have a voice in education decisions and still believe in Bloom’s Taxonomy, this YouTube clip on the 4IR gyro approach towards teaching and learning may surprise you.
"Education needs a total ‘face-lift’; the entire education environment, from pre-school to post-graduate education, needs to be re-imagined and aligned with emerging skills requirements. One of the key imperatives to both escape the Dead-end scenario and to achieve the Accomplished Game Changers scenario is a total re-haul of the education / training / skilling system."
Skills@Work published my article on: Preparing the workforce for the fourth Industrial Revolution.
Topics covered include:
Changes in the nature of work and occupations
Changes in employer-employee relationships
Skills required by the workforce of 2025-2030
Preparing for a new partnership with machines
Are we training people for a world that no longer exists?
Are we preparing the workforce for occupations that no longer exist?
The brain has receptors responsible for gathering chronological types of information from other senses. They interpret the physical position of the sun via the eyes to instil a feeling of time passed. This provides for “getting a sense of time” or “having a sense of passing of time”. They are called chronosensors and are responsible for measuring the passing of time when a person progresses through an activity.
While society’s mind is shifting towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the education system stays anchored in its historic teacher-centred ways, expecting from learners to memorise subject content. Within the bigger scheme, one must consider that if society’s mind shifted through the first three industrial paradigms while the education system got stuck somewhere, then standing still means more than freezing: it means going backwards as society’s mind is moving ahead
