basic skills with a view to LLL, p 34
•Efficacy, thinking skills
•Community skills and the ability to take
care of one’s functional ability and work
ability.
•Thinking skills are part of the transversal
competence that a pupil needs in the
management, use and application of
information and in the creation of new
knowledge, problem-solving, logical
thinking and decision-making.

26. One cant educate todays students with
methods from yesterday for a future we dont
know

27. Creativity and critical thinking are key
skills for complex, globalised and
increasingly digitalised economies and
societies. While teachers and education
policy makers consider creativity and
critical thinking as important learning
goals, it is still unclear to many what it
means to develop these skills in a
school/edcuational settings.

35. • Impact of learning over time – on careers, on habits of
lifelong learning, on community involvement and
benefits.
• Engagement as one of the key drivers for quality.
• Innovative, flexible, effectively using technology for
learning, teaching, analytics and assessment or
engaging students with practical applications of the
content.
• In re-thinking the approach to quality, we should ask
ourselves
• The How? How do the students experience their
learning
• The How? How do faculty experience their teaching?
• The What? Focus on outcomes in more depth.
• The So What?
• The Then What?
• … need to move to a much more experiential and
outcome-based view of quality if it is to be the engine
of transformation.
