New ways of thinking for tomorrow's skills

Then they spend their lives connecting people across networks. Several years ago, Doug Lemov began studying videos of excellent teachers. Lemov, an author and teaching consultant (Teach Like a Champion), focused not on their big strategies but on their microgestures: how long they waited before calling on students to answer a question (to give the less-confident students time to get their hands up); when they paced about the classroom and when they stood still (while issuing instructions, to emphasise the importance of what was being said); how they moved around the room towards a student whose mind might be wandering. Lord, if somebody could just identify the skills it takes to give a good briefing these days, that feat alone would deserve the Nobel prize.

In part, Lemov is talking about the skill of herding cats.

Universities historically exist as institutions for the creation and dispersion of knowledge.

What role should universities play in today's society?

But today, many young people enter university solely to prepare for careers. In an era of demand-driven funding – where universities have the option to recruit as many students as they wish – is it beneficial for most young people to hold a university degree? Or is the benefit of a university education overstated, setting some young people up to fail? Arguably, the higher the skill level of our workforce, the higher our country’s productivity. But the nature of Australia’s workforce is changing. Young people need to be prepared for a variety of roles in a future that will be transformed by automation and digitisation. The CSIRO paints a picture that if institutions and modes of employment do not change, Australia will fail to compete with the world. Myfuture.
