Term Three, 2018 Professional Learning
Information Literacy
through the Transversal Competency Lens
Presenter: Leonie McIlvenny
According to the OECD ‘Skills have become the global currency of 21st century economies and Transversal knowledge, skills and competences are the building blocks for the development of the "hard" skills and competences required to succeed in the labour market.’
If we are preparing students for the future world of work then it is essential that we as educators understand what these skills are and how we can incorporate them into our learning programs and curriculum, particularly information literacy which is an essential component of any program we facilitate from the library space.
This presentation will present some of the latest national and international information about Transversal Competencies and how they are impacting government and educational policy and curriculum development throughout the world. It will also provide opportunities to discuss how these skills can be incorporated into our library programs.
