By National Research Council,Margaret Hilton

An rising physique of analysis means that a collection of large "21st century skills"--such as adaptability, advanced verbal exchange talents, and the power to unravel non-routine problems--are helpful throughout quite a lot of jobs within the nationwide economic system. in spite of the fact that, the position of K-12 schooling in aiding scholars study those talents is a topic of present debate. a few enterprise and schooling teams have encouraged infusing twenty first century talents into the college curriculum, and a number of other states have introduced such efforts. different observers argue that concentrating on talents detracts consciousness from studying of significant content material knowledge.

Exploring the Intersection of technological know-how schooling and twenty first Century Skills addresses key questions on the overlap among twenty first century abilities and medical content material and data; explores promising versions or methods for educating those skills; and stories the facts in regards to the transferability of those talents to genuine place of work applications.
