21st-century skills: Critical thinking

http://www.phoenix.edu/forward/careers/2011/08/21st-century-skills-critical-thinking.html

New technologies and social media platforms are driving an

unprecedented reorganization of how we produce and create

value. Amplified by a new level of collective intelligence

and tapping resources embedded in social connections with

multitudes of others, we can now achieve the kind of scale

and reach previously attainable only by very large organizations.

In other words, we can do things outside of traditional

organizational boundaries.

To “superstruct” means to create structures that go beyond

the basic forms and processes with which we are familiar. It

means to collaborate and play at extreme scales, from the

micro to the massive. Learning to use new social tools to

work, to invent, and to govern at these scales is what the

next few decades are all about.

Our tools and technologies shape the kinds of social,

economic, and political organizations we inhabit. Many

organizations we are familiar with today, including educational

and corporate ones, are products of centuries-old

scientific knowledge and technologies. Today we see this

organizational landscape being disrupted. In health, organizations

such as Curetogether and PatientsLikeMe are allowing

people to aggregate their personal health information to

allow for clinical trials and emergence of expertise outside

of traditional labs and doctors’ offices. Science games, from

Foldit to GalaxyZoo, are engaging thousands of people to

solve problems no single organization had the resources to

do before. Open education platforms are increasingly making

content available to anyone who wants to learn.

A new generation of organizational concepts and work skills

is coming not from traditional management/organizational

theories but from fields such as game design, neuroscience,

and happiness psychology. These fields will drive the

creation of new training paradigms and tools.
