• Critical thinking is the most important quality

because it is the mechanism of a person in
controlling problems and finding means to solve
them.
• Creativity is similar to adaptation. This skill can
lead to innovation because it empowers the
students to see concepts in a different point of
views.

• Collaboration means getting students to work

together, achieve compromises, and get the best
possible results from solving a problem. The key
element of collaboration is the willingness of the
participants to sacrifice parts of their own ideas and
adopt others to achieve better results.

• Communication is the bind that brings all of these

educational qualities together. It is a requirement
for students to learn how to effectively convey ideas
among different personality types. Without
understanding proper communication, students in
the 21st Century will lack a pivotal skill to progress
their careers.

Information literacy is the basic skill that helps

students to understand facts. It teaches them
how to determine fact from fiction. It is
important for the students to identify or find the
truth online on their own and not be a victim of
misinformation.

Media literacy is the practice of identifying

publishing methods, outlets, and sources while
distinguishing between the ones that are credible
and the ones that are not. The same with the
previous skill, media literacy is beneficial to
students in finding trustworthy sources of
information in their lives. Without it, anything
that looks credible becomes credible.

Technology literacy is about teaching students about

machines involved in the Information Age.
Computers, cloud programming, and mobile devices
are of great importance to people that need to
understand those concepts. Technology literacy gives
students the basic information they need to
understand what gadgets perform what tasks and
why.

Flexibility is someone’s ability to adapt to changing

circumstances. Flexibility requires persons to show
humility and accept that they have a lot to learn even
when they are already expert in the field. It is crucial
to a student’s long-term success in a career, the ability
of knowing when to change, how to change, and how
to react to change.

to learn and practice. Initiative often
means working on projects outside of
regular working hours.
