New Approaches to Teaching, Learning and Assessment needed?
Drivers towards teamwork, critical thinking,
effective communication, problem-solving,
collaboration:
• “21st Century skills” in K-12 schools
• “Graduate Attributes” in universities
• The “inverted (flip) classroom”
Academics claim that
their courses produce
these skills, yet the
evidence is unclear.
What does
assessment say about
priorities in a course?
From 20thC to 21stC learner?
