What are the skills, knowledge and abilities required of university students to get a job in the knowledge economy era?
Mindsets borne of our education, experience, or (especially) environment instruct us to see things in ways that do not necessarily conduce efficient or effective problem solving, when they do not perpetuate or inflame the problem. In a knowledge economy, one might argue that—beyond acquired skills—composite habits of mind that attend to value, inclination, sensitivity, capability, and commitment, all defined toward behaving intelligently when confronted with problems, are of the essence. Put in practice, such habits of mind should conduce the following (desired) knowledge behaviors:
- Ask—asking questions; checking first to see what already exists; questioning accepted wisdom.
- Learn—contextualizing learning to make it real; connecting and taking opportunities to learn; reviewing lessons as one goes and applying learning.
- Share—conveying personal details, roles, and skills; imparting experience, evidence, and feedback; communicating achievements, outcomes, and pride.
Knowledge of real cognitive and analytical skills, memory and reasoning power are facilitated by organizational culture
Dear Mr. Bassam Samir Alromeedy ,all types of knowledge can be a prerequisite in the economic era, world activity is the main foundation of the economy, the country can prosper or go bankrupt because of the economy, even the country can experience war and turbulence due to the economy as well.
For example, engineering is not only a technical field, but has become a cognitive science. The main shift is towards cognitive skills in most fields, but this also comes with mental health issues as (traditional) working methods change profoundly and rapidly.
Krishnan Umachandran Excellent visualization of the knowledge scale.
It is not only the book knowledge obtained from education via universities that would be important but the ability to think outside the box and on your feet as well as be pragmatic. Since the global workplace is fast changing the person must be extremely adaptable and flexible, willing to learn other allied subject matters and never give up.
