Collaborative problem solving - a 21st Century skill that will be needed by our children
Collaborative problem-solving is one of the twenty-first century skills which we must develop in young people so that they are ready to thrive in all areas of life, including the workplace. There is a significant body of literature on the importance of these skills, and much research has been done into how they can be developed inside and outside school (whether aided by technology or not), integrated into curricula, and measured. Many school systems are placing greater emphasis on these skills.
