Knowledge Economy and Skills
The Knowledge Economy and 21st-Century Skills
The economy that schools were built to serve has changed. Factory work gave way to knowledge work in a single generation, and with it the skills a young person needs to compete. This chapter traces that shift, sets out the skills employers now look for, and follows the communication and social-networking revolutions that reshaped how information moves and what it means to be connected.
Why the factory-era school model no longer fits an economy that pays for thinking.
The recurring skills a knowledge economy rewards, and where they sit in Bloom’s taxonomy.
Information from scarce to abundant, borderless channels, and students as creators.
When being connected means an app, and how to turn that habit toward learning.
