Abstract

Teaching today in the digital age requires being able to adapt to the multiple upheavals affecting individuals and societies. The idea that education systems should equip learners with the skills and competencies to cope with an ever-changing landscape. We often refer to skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaborative skills, innovation, digital literacy, and adaptability. What is negotiable is how best to achieve the development of these skills, particularly which teaching and learning approaches are suitable to facilitate or enable the development of complex skills. However, educational innovation must be perceived as a proposed novelty, a change, a creation, a transformation, or even an invention in the fields of pedagogy and teaching. Note that the term “innovation” refers to the act of introducing something new in a particular field.
