, QUESTION 1
a) Sense-making: how students analyse data and apply what they've learned. It is the act
of giving something meaning.
b) Social intelligence: a learner's ability to engage on a social level with peers to better
understand themselves and others. This is particularly significant at a school with
multi-ethnic students in the same classroom.
c) Novel and adaptive thinking: learners will need creative thinking abilities that are
based on problem solving and finding viable solutions. This will imply a more
practical, hands-on approach to learning in the classroom, rather than relying solely
on direct instruction.
d) Cross-cultural competency: the capacity to work with people from many cultures will
be a necessary talent in the future workforce. Workplaces, particularly in South
Africa, are becoming increasingly culturally diverse, necessitating diplomacy and the
capacity to collaborate for a common goal.
e) Computational thinking: In the twenty-first century, the capacity to solve problems
creatively (computational thinking) will be an essential skill. Mathematical problems,
music composition, and robotics all demand logical computational reasoning.
f) New media literacy: the ability to analyse, evaluate, and make judgments about the
credibility of sources will be crucial. An exercise on how to recognize fake news will
aid in the development of this talent.
g) Transdisciplinary: the ability of a learner to comprehend concepts from a variety of
disciplines. Transdisciplinary is a term that refers to a more comprehensive approach
to learning. A learner might be required to produce an English essay about a
geographical idea, for example.
h) Design mindset: the ability to employ imagination to accomplish a desired result will
become a crucial skill for the student. They will need to develop ways to break down
the pieces of a complex arithmetic problem to creatively offer a solution if they are
provided one.
i) Cognitive load management: Another skill that must be learned is the capacity to skim
and scan for relevant and vital information. One task where such a competence will
come in handy is essay writing.
j) Virtual collaboration: With the introduction of the internet and the widespread usage
of virtual classrooms and business settings where people are "present" but not
physically present in the same place, this is becoming increasingly important. The
capacity to work independently but collaboratively in a virtual environment is a
critical talent for learners in the twenty-first century.
