课程概况由于科技的发展及其对职场的影响,教育和工作正在不断变化。
现在,鉴于科技对生活、工作与休闲的影响,我们更新了工作方式、工具,生活方式,甚至是思考方式。
现代职场需要更多具备多任务处理能力、以信息和沟通为基础的员工,新人想提高工作效率就要具备相应的技能,而这些东西我们通常在学校是学不到的。
所以课上我们将了解这些复杂的技能,并选择其中的“协作式问题处理能力”具体研究。
所谓“协作式问题处理能力”即结合认知与社会要素,强调知识的构建与应用能力,而业界普遍认为年轻人和应届毕业生苦寻力保职位稳定的方法,而这正是他们所欠缺的能力之一。
甚至在一些国家,毕业生的失业率已经超过50%。
新技能,常被错称为“软技能”,多数情况下,学校或大学并不培养学生的这些能力,如何评估和教授这些技能也没有明确的说明。
在这个巨变的时代,如果教育和工作中充斥着这种不明确,那么通常导致的结果是,教育瘫痪,评估方法退化,而且无法进行有针对性的教学活动。
