Learner Agency and Future-Ready Students

Future-ready students need to exercise agency in their own education and throughout life?

Agency requires the ability to frame a guiding purpose and identify actions to achieve a goal?

A concept underlying the learning framework is co-agency – the interactive, mutually supportive relationships that help learners to progress towards their valued goals?

Two factors that help learners enable agency are a personalised learning environment and building a solid foundation: literacy and numeracy?

Educators must only recognise learners’ individuality but not acknowledge the wider set of relationships that influence their learning?

Everyone should be considered a learner, not only students but also teachers, school managers, parents, and communities?

Digital literacy and data literacy are becoming increasingly essential in the era of digital transformation.

The 'learning compass' co-developed by OECD Education 2030 stakeholders is a representation of how young people can navigate their lives and their world.

Competency involves only the acquisition of knowledge and skills.

Future-ready students will only need specialized knowledge, not broad knowledge.

Procedural knowledge is always domain-specific and cannot be applied across different domains.

Students will not need cognitive and meta-cognitive skills for unknown and evolving circumstances.

The use of a broader range of knowledge and skills will not be mediated by attitudes and values.

Human life is enriched only by the diversity of values and attitudes arising from different cultural perspectives and personality traits.

Respect for the environment is one of the human values that cannot be compromised.

Digital literacy is becoming increasingly essential due to the decrease in big data usage.
