Invention, transfer, efficiency, and innovation: 21st-century learning abilities can be taught. Source: Teacher Librarian June 2007.
To produce learners able to compete globally. Learners are taught desirable qualities. These are inventiveness (developing novel ideas and being creative), transfer (applying learning to new situations), efficiency (doing better and more work in less time), and innovation (developing new ways for solving problems).
To teach an inventive learning experience, ask students to invent explanations of relationships or a formula that may apply to a lesson with data sets. Solving a problem through systems thinking, higher-level thinking and creativity become part of the inventive thinker's thinking.
The teacher should not criticise the wide spectrum of opinions on an issue, charts or groupings of data. Have students defend their opinions. Finally give students a unique problem to solve where the technique taught may be one key in the solution to the problem.
