Education is even more critical today, in the face of economic, environmental, and social challenges. Today's children can meet future challenges if their schooling and informal learning activities prepare them for adult roles as citizens, employees, managers, parents, volunteers, and entrepreneurs. To achieve their full potential as adults, young people need to develop a range of skills and knowledge that facilitate mastery and application of English, mathematics, and other school subjects. At the same time, business and political leaders are increasingly asking schools to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-management - often referred to as "21st century skills." Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century describes this important set of key skills that increase deeper learning, college and career readiness, student-centered learning, and higher order thinking. These labels include both cognitive and non-cognitive skills- such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, effective communication, motivation, persistence, and learning to learn. 21st century skills also include creativity, innovation, and ethics that are important to later success and may be developed in formal or informal learning environments. This report also describes how these skills relate to each other and to more traditional academic skills and content in the key disciplines of reading, mathematics, and science. Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century summarizes the findings of the research that investigates the importance of such skills to success in education, work, and other areas of adult responsibility and that demonstrates the importance of developing these skills in K-16 education. In this report, features related to learning these skills are identified, which include teacher professional development, curriculum, assessment, after-school and out-of-school programs, and informal learning centers such as exhibits and museums."--Publisher's description. 000456779 650_0 $$aEducational evaluation$$zUnited States. 000456779 650_0 $$aEducation$$zUnited States$$y21st century. 000456779 7001_ $$aPellegrino, James W. 000456779 7001_ $$aHilton, Margaret L. 000456779 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bDivision of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education. 000456779 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bBoard on Science Education. 000456779 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bCenter for Education.$$bBoard on Testing and Assessment. 000456779 85200 $$bgen$$hLB2822.75$$i.N395$$i2012 000456779 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:456779$$pGLOBAL_SET 000456779 980__ $$aBIB 000456779 980__ $$aBOOK
