Collaboration for Innovation Part II:

invention, transfer, efficiency, and innovation: 21st-century learning abilities can be taught:


Abstract from Academic Search Premier: The article discusses teaching strategies that teacher-librarians could use when teaching alone or in collaboration with a classroom teacher to produce learners who are able to compete in a global world. Present students with a task that requires them to place articles on the opinion line as taught. Give the students a unique problem to solve where the technique taught might be one key in the solution to the problem. Assess their ability to encounter this novel problem in a new situation.

When investigating strategies for improved learning in students, the program has to be efficient, inventive, transferrable and innovative. Most lesson plans depend too much on efficiency, but the other factors don't matter in as much. To keep the program from being redundant, innovative ideas must be implemented.

Teachers must allow students to form their own conclusions without fear of criticism.
