The skill approach in education: from theory to practice

Today, information and technological developments grow at a rapid pace.

Social and political life becomes more and more complicated and, in this process, active citizenship becomes more essential.

Knowledge-driven changes in society and economies require individuals to quickly acquire new skills.

Otherwise, it is increasingly difficult for employees to adapt to business life and to find a job.

Education has to take account of these circumstances, adapt to the rapid developments in the world and educate individuals to continue lifelong learning.

For this, skills such as active and independent learning, assertiveness, creativity, self-improvement, lifelong learning are important.

Skill teaching differs from knowledge teaching. Skill is the transfer of knowledge to practice. This process involves a learning process that requires the steps of researching, planning, controlling and correcting.
