Rapid-and seemingly accelerating-changes in the economies of
developed nations are having a proportional effect on the skill
sets required of workers in many new jobs. Work environments are
often technology-heavy, while problems are frequently ill-defined
and tackled by multidisciplinary teams. This book contains insights
based on research conducted as part of a major international
project supported by Cisco, Intel and Microsoft. It faces these new
working environments head-on, delineating new ways of thinking
about '21st-century' skills and including operational definitions
of those skills. The authors focus too on fresh approaches to
educational assessment, and present methodological and
technological solutions to the barriers that hinder ICT-based
assessments of these skills, whether in large-scale surveys or
classrooms. Equally committed to defining its terms and providing
practical solutions, and including international perspectives and
comparative evaluations of assessment methodology and policy, this
volume tackles an issue at the top of most educationalists'
agendas.
