For example, there is the recent treatise by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) that says bawsically the same thing. They note that the world is rapidly changing when it comes to things to technological advancement, scientific innovation and globalization shifts. This in turn has shifted what the "average" person does or does not in terms of daily life and it has also shifted what is demanded when it comes to the educational and employment opportunities in the developed world. Given all that, the NSTA has gone so far as to say that they "acknowledge(s) the need for and importance of 21st century skills within the context of science education and advocates for the science education community to support 21st century skills consistent with best practices across a pre-K-16 science education system" (NSTA, 2016).
To be clear, the author of this report and others are not merely talking about the skills that would be needed for the workplace. Instead, many to most of the people that speak on this subject clearly say that these skills will be needed for daily life. As an example, there are many that suggest that the entering of the 21st century has made it clear that success in life is dependent on a number of factors.

Beyond that, the imparting of knowledge about this subject should begin early and often and should be reinforced as gets older and wiser, not to mention more adept when it comes to modern skills and abilities. When it comes to real-world results and what is really going on, the results are mixed. For example, people that play video games tend to gain a few advanced skills from paying attention to and being immersed in those environments. However, those same people are easily distracted and otherwise do not perform as well when there is less sensory information stimulating them (Flinders, 2016).

CONTROLLING OUR EMOTIONS? EMOTIONAL LITERACY: MECHANISM FOR SOCIAL CONTROL? At the core of becoming an activist educator Is identifying the regimes of truth that govern us the ideas that govern how we think, act and feel as educators because it is within regimes of truth that inequity is produced and reproduced.
