简而言之,“教育我们的学生,使他们具备21世纪世纪的技能是新的学习范式”(Kivunja,2014年b,第85页)。这些技能分为四个领域,世纪技能伙伴关系(P21)将其确定为传统核心技能,学习和创新技能,职业和生活技能以及数字扫盲技能;也称为信息,媒体和技术技能(P21,2009)。认为传统的核心技能,如阅读,写作和算术是众所周知的,可能不需要详细说明,Kivunja(2014 b)讨论了学习和创新技能领域,Kivunja(2015 a)解开了职业和生活技能领域。本文对数字素养技能领域进行了解读,从三个方面扩展了对该领域的理解。首先,它是什么,它涉及哪些技能?第二,如何教授学生该领域的技能,以便他们在毕业时能够为使用这些技能做好工作准备?第三,这个领域对其他领域的重要性是什么?因此,在数字经济的现实中,学习,工作,生活和成为一个有生产力的公民的成功有什么意义?
Put simply, “Teaching our students so that they become well-equipped with the 21st century skills is the new learning paradigm” (Kivunja, 2014b, p. 85). These skills fall into four domains which the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) identify as the Traditional Core Skills, the Learning and Innovation Skills, the Career and Life Skills, and the Digital Literacy Skills; also known as the Information, Media, and Technology Skills (P21, 2009). Arguing that the traditional core skills, such as reading, -riting, and –rithmetic are well known, and might need no elaboration, Kivunja (2014b) discussed the Learning and Innovations Skills domain, and Kivunja (2015a) unpacked the Career and Life Skills domain. This paper unpacks the Digital Literacy Skills domain to extend an understanding of this domain in three ways. First, what is it and what skills does it involve? Second, how can students be taught the skills of this domain so they will be job ready to use these skills on graduation? Third, what is the significance of this domain to each of the other domains; and therefore to the success of studying, working, living and being a productive citizen in the realities of the Digital Economy?
