Overview

In Cognitive Skills You Need for the 21st Century, Stephen Reed discusses a Future of Jobs report that contrasts trending and declining skills required by the workforce in the year 2022. Trending skills include analytical thinking and innovation, active learning strategies, creativity, reasoning, and complex problem solving. Part One on Acquiring Knowledge contains chapters on cognitive processes that are critical for learning. Part Two on Organizing Knowledge explains how matrices, networks, and hierarchies offer contrasting methods for visualizing organization. Part Three on Reasoning discusses visuospatial reasoning, reasoning from imperfect knowledge, and reasoning strategies. Part Four on Problem Solving focuses on the knowledge and strategies required to solve different types of problems, including those that involve design and dynamic changes. Part Five on Artificial Intelligence contains chapters on the Data Sciences, Explanatory Models, the Information Sciences, and General AI. Part Six on Education consists of three chapters on educating 21st century skills at all levels of instruction. Research in Cognitive Psychology, Education, and AI provides the foundation for acquiring these skills.

Reviews

After helping our children during the past pandemic year with their homework, we are ready for a book offering cognitive self-help. In this work addressing the contemporary need for cross-disciplinary skills and creativity in problem-solving, Reed introduces, among other ideas, a newer more modern approach to learning mathematics. He begins by citing a study undertaken by the Educational Testing Service to determine the types of skills needed for success in the modern workforce. Key to Reed's purpose is to build connections between his own expertise in cognitive psychology and the call to understand and embrace aspects of artificial intelligence. Reed contextualizes his argument for different audiences. The book is well referenced and features an excellent index. * J. Beidler, emeritus, University of Scranton, Choice *
