O knihe

If you are a parent, what would you want your child to learn? If you are still doing your secondary school education, what would you want to learn? Cramming as many facts into your head as you can, only to spit them out once on a piece of paper, then forget them again, or acquiring the competences that will help you to navigate through life, work together well with others, communicate freely and solve complex real-life situations? Remembering facts or hard skills is not a feature of the 21st century. Instead, students should be equipped with competences or soft skills as they are long-lasting and transcend subject specialisations. The rate at which the world is changing eliminates the art of predicting what subjects will be useful tomorrow. This book has described a case study on an adapted lesson plan designed to promote student engagement in soft skills practices with Science News Media which was undertaken in physics learning groups at a Zambian Technical Secondary School. The lesson plan focussed on integrating Science News Media in a physics topic about electromagnetic waves, thereby promoting students' engagement in communication and teamwork skills.
