4、eir personality and their strengths. This does not merely mean learning new knowledge, but also developing abilities to make the most of life. These are called life skills including the inner capacities and the practical skills we need. Many of the inner capacities often known as psycho-social skill
5、s cannot be taught as subjects. They are not the same as academic or technical learning. They must rather be modeled and promoted as part of learning, and in particular by teachers. These skills have to do with the way we behave towards other people, towards ourselves, towards the challenges and pro
6、blems of life. They include skills in communicating, in making decisions and solving problems, in negotiating and asserting ourselves, in thinking critically and understanding our feelings. More practical life skills are the kinds of manual skills we need for the physical tasks we face. Some would i
7、nclude vocational (职业的 ) skills under the heading of life skills the ability to lay bricks, sew clothes, catch fish or mend a motorbike. These are skills by which people may earn their livelihood and which are often available to young people leaving school. In fact, very often young people learn psy
8、cho-social skills as they learn more practical skills. Learning vocational skills can be a strategy for acquiring both practical and psycho-social skills. We need to increase our life skills at every stage of life, so learning them may be part of early childhood education, of primary and secondary e
9、ducation and of adult learning groups. Importance in learning Life skills can be put into the categories that the Jacques Delors report suggested. This report spoke of four pillars of education, which correspond to certain kinds of life skills. Learning to know: Thinking abilities, such as problem-s
10、olving, critical thinking, decision-making, understanding consequences. Learning to be: Personal abilities, such as managing stress and feelings, self-awareness, self-confidence. Learning to live together: Social abilities, such as communication, negotiation, teamwork. Learning to do: Manual skills,
11、 such as practicing what are required for work and tasks. In todays world, all these skills are necessary in order to face rapid change in society. This means that it is important to know how to go on learning as we require new skills for life and work. In addition, we need to know how to cope with
12、the flood of information and turn it into useful knowledge. We also need to learn how to handle change in society and in our own lives. Nature of life skills Life skills are both concrete and abstract. Practical skills can be learned directly as a subject for example, a learner can take a course in
13、laying bricks and learn that skill. Other life skills, such as self-confidence, self-esteem, and skills for relating to others or thinking critically cannot be taught in such direct ways. They should be part of any learning process, where teachers or facilitators are concerned that learners should n
14、ot just learn about subjects, but learn how to cope with life and make the most of their potential. So these life skills may be learnt when learning other things. For example: Learning literacy may have a big impact on self-esteem, on critical thinking or on communication skills; Learning practical
15、skills such as driving, healthcare or tailoring may increase self-confidence, teach problem-solving processes or help in understanding consequences. Whether this is true depends on the mode of teaching what kinds of thinking, relationship-building and communication the teacher or facilitator exhibit
16、s and promotes among the learners. Progress towards this goal This goal would require measuring the individual and collective progress in making the most of learning and of life, or assessing how far human potential is being realized, or estimating how well people cope with change. It is easier to m
17、easure the development of practical skills, for instance by counting the number of students who register for vocational skills courses. However, this still may not tell us how effectively these skills are being used. The psycho-social skills cannot easily be measured by tests and scores, but become
18、visible in changed behavior. Progress in this area has often been noted by teachers on reports which they make to the parents of their pupils. The teachers experience of life, of teaching and of what can be expected from education in the broadest sense serve as a grid through which the growth and de
19、velopment of individuals can be assessed to some extent. This kind of assessment is individual and may never appear in international tables and charts. Current challenges The current challenges relate to these difficulties: We need to recognize the importance of life skills both practical and psycho
20、-social as part of education which leads to the full development of human potential and to the development of society. The links between psycho-social skills and practical skills must be more clearly spelled out, so that educators can promote both together and find effective ways to do this. Since l
21、ife skills are taught as part of a wide range of subjects, teachers need to have training in how to put them across and how to monitor learners growth in these areas.
