Change is something always present in our lives;\u00a0perhaps, now more than ever before in history.\u00a0In previous generations, a job or a relationship could last a lifetime.\u00a0Today it is much less common.\u00a0In the\u00a0professional field<\/a>\u00a0, moreover, it is estimated that\u00a0two out of three adolescents<\/a>\u00a0go to work in professions that do not yet exist.<\/p>\n

Given this context in which change seems the only thing that is not altered, what should we offer in education?\u00a0Educational systems are by nature reactive: it is very complex to anticipate changes.<\/p>\n

The traditional system has been based on the transmission of knowledge.\u00a0But today, knowledge is accessible and universal.\u00a0Google<\/em>\u00a0can answer any question in seconds;\u00a0YouTube<\/em>\u00a0, teach us through a tutorial, and\u00a0Amazon<\/em>\u00a0, send us any product we need in a matter of hours.\u00a0All the information, means and tools are just a click away.\u00a0Even artificial intelligence already often answers us in an accurate way.<\/p>\n

Education has lost the exclusivity of access to knowledge.\u00a0Asking a web page is easier, confidential and faster than asking a teacher.\u00a0Another thing is having the ability to distinguish real information from hoaxes, fake news or digital scams.\u00a0Elements that also grow exponentially.<\/p>\n

Guide and give tools<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The first key to the future of education, therefore, is that we are able to provide students with the necessary tools so that they are capable of developing their own abilities.<\/p>\n

To be guide teachers there are two fundamental elements: metacognition and adaptation to change.\u00a0Being aware of our strengths and weaknesses and improving the skills of adapting to change\u00a0can make a difference<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Metacognition is our ability\u00a0to<\/a>\u00a0understand how we learn.\u00a0Knowing our aptitudes and limitations when learning allows us to understand how we learn, learn to learn more effectively.\u00a0This is a critical element for the future, as it allows us to know how far we can go.\u00a0Knowing our cards well is vital to be able to play a good game.<\/p>\n

Self-determination and quality of life<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Aligned with metacognition, the concepts of\u00a0self-determination<\/a>\u00a0and quality of life appear.\u00a0Self-determination refers to the motivation we have to do the tasks of our life.\u00a0Self-determination, our ability to do, is\u00a0anchored in competence, relationship and autonomy<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Knowing our skills, interacting socially and having the freedom to be autonomous\u00a0increases our ability<\/a>\u00a0to act successfully.\u00a0The quality of life is nothing more than the search for happiness, for that vital task or objective that makes us feel useful and satisfied with our lives.\u00a0The one known as\u00a0Ikigai<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in Japanese culture.<\/p>\n

Metacognition and self-determination are key.\u00a0They allow us to know what we are capable of doing and what are the motivations that move us to be able to do.\u00a0But these two important variables are not enough.\u00a0In addition to knowing and wanting, we have to have the ability to change.<\/p>\n

Ability to change<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Here comes another of the great needs of the future of education.\u00a0The ability to change.\u00a0Adapting to change, in a fast-paced society like today’s, is one of the main virtues that we can incorporate into our repertoire.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows the concept of comfort zone.\u00a0That place where we are comfortable, we work effortlessly, we fear no fear.\u00a0Leaving that area generates uncertainty, uncovers our weaknesses.\u00a0We are not used to showing our clumsiness.\u00a0Only children are used to making mistakes;\u00a0as soon as we mature, we believe that doing something else is synonymous with failure and then we stop making mistakes.\u00a0Therefore we stop promoting change, we stop learning.<\/p>\n

Before mastering any area of \u200b\u200bour lives, we fail thousands of times.\u00a0Therefore, we could say that experience is nothing more than the accumulation of multiple errors.\u00a0This is probably the first principle of adapting to change.\u00a0Get used to failing again, to making mistakes.\u00a0Expand the comfort zone and be aware, especially, of our weaknesses.\u00a0We know our virtues perfectly.<\/p>\n

Without fear of mistake<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A person who is not afraid of being wrong adapts much better to change.\u00a0He is wrong faster, he is wrong more times, but he learns at a much faster rate.\u00a0Since without error there is no progress.\u00a0Research has always been based on trial and error, with errors far more frequent than success.<\/p>\n

All this represents a very important challenge in education.\u00a0We must move from transmitting knowledge to guiding in an ocean of information.\u00a0It is more important to get the person to know himself and learn to learn, than to teach something.\u00a0And lastly, rather than systematically teaching to be right, it is more relevant to teach that error is something necessary, the first step to bring about change.\u00a0Try and make mistakes as many times as necessary to end up getting it right.<\/p>\n
