  2. Challenges with our current Education system
  3. Top 10 trends in Higher Education 1. A global, knowledge-based society: Ubiquitous and ever-opening access to information creates a need for skilled workers who can transform information to meaningful, new knowledge. 2. The innovation-based society is emerging: Successful members of society will create innovative- and contextually- relevant applications for new knowledge. 3. Knowledge and innovation-based jobs are moving to India and China: Today, many companies are beginning to move their creativity and R&D jobs to markets with vast Human Intellect/Technology/Lower Cost. 4. Personal success in the innovation society will require novelty at the individual level: Standardization at the workplace will give way to individualization, employees will be viewed and rewarded for their creative inputs as individuals
  4. Top 10 trends 5. Technology changes human relations: Advances in technology allow people to interact in new ways that were previously obscured by geographical, economic or social boundaries like Social networking. 6. Jobs that exist today will not necessarily exist when today’s students finish school: 7. An ageing population: Advances in sanitation, nutrition and medicine have extended life expectancy in many countries. 8. Globalization: Tom Friedman is right. The world is flat. The phenomenon of globalization compels students and schools to compete on a global scale.
  5. Top 10 trends 9. Change is accelerating: The doubling time of information is now under one year. In 20 years or less doubling time may drop to a few weeks. If our cultural institutions don’t change at least as fast, what will happen to our senses of identity and security 10. Advent of 3G/4G Technology: This will change the way of teaching/learning as it will make possible to have dynamic /artificial intelligence powered Learning management system which is individual based.
  6. 21 st century Skills required Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Collaboration across Networks and Leading by Influence Agility and Adaptability Initiative and Entrepreneurialism Effective Oral and Written Communication Accessing and Analyzing Information Curiosity and Imagination
  7. Trends Colleges will go from ‘buildings’ to 'nerve centers', with walls that are porous and transparent, connecting teachers, students and the community to the wealth of knowledge that exists in the world.” Teacher - From primary role as a dispenser of information to orchestrator of learning and helping students turn information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom.  The 21st century will require knowledge generation, not just information delivery, and schools will need to create a “culture of inquiry”.  Learner - In the past a learner was a young person who went to school, spent a specified amount of time in certain courses, received passing grades and graduated.  Today we must see learners in a new context:
  8. Emerging Directions First – we must maintain student interest by helping them see how what they are learning prepares them for life in the real world.  Second – we must instill curiosity, which is fundamental to lifelong learning.  Third – we must be flexible in how we teach. Fourth – we must excite learners to become even more resourceful so that they will continue to learn outside the formal school day.”
  9. Government Role Three-pronged reform process
  10. 20th century 21st century Time-based Focus:  memorization of discrete facts . Lessons focus on the lower level of Bloom’s Taxonomy – knowledge, comprehension and application. Textbook-driven Passive learning Outcome based Focus:  what students know, Can do and are like after all the details are forgotten   Learning is designed on upper levels of Blooms’ – synthesis, analysis and evaluation Research-driven Active Learning

  13. What is 21st Century Education? “One can’t believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen.  “When I was your age I always did it for half-an-hour a day.  Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” Lewis Carroll,  Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
