Keahlian Universitas Abad ke 21

Oleh: Jannerson Girsang

 

Malam ini saya membaca sebuah website Universitas Illinois, Amerika Serikat.Universitas ini sudah berani membuat "Iowa Core 21th CenturySkill"

 

Tentu merasa miris juga. Perguruan Tinggi kita masih terseok-seok untuk memenuhi persyaratan akreditasi perguruan tinggi. 

  

Setiap lulusan Universitas Iwoa harus memiliki keahlian yang diperlukan abad ke 21. 

“Each Iowa student must graduate with the 21st century skills necessary for a productive and satisfying life in a global knowledge-based environment. Descriptions of the new global reality are plentiful, and the need for new, 21st century skills in an increasingly complex environment is well documented. In one form or another, authors cite (1) the globalization of economics; (2) the explosion of scientific and technological knowledge; (3) the increasingly international dimensions of the issues we face, (i.e. global warming and pandemic diseases); and (4) changing demographics as the major trends that have resulted in a future world much different from the one that many of us faced when we graduated from high school (Friedman, 2005 and Stewart, 2007). The trends are very clear that each Iowa student will need essential 21st century skills to lead satisfying lives in this current reality”.

Semoga Perguruan Tinggi di Indonesia juga mempersiapkan para mahasiswanya, pendukung proses belajar mengajarnya dengan keahlian abad ke-21.
