Abstract

In traditional school education, acquiring factual knowledge is still the major focus. The advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) and the digitalization of socio-economical processes, however, have fundamentally changed the way humans work and live. Today, humans have the ability to access facts fast through smartphones, computers, and the internet. They can access this knowledge flexibly whenever they want. Thus, obtaining factual knowledge by heart has become less essential. In a fast-paced world, individuals must quickly adapt to new environments. Transferrable skills have become essential as they support humans to adapt to dynamic environments. They are seen as a key catalyst for helping the workforce adapt (ILO, 2021).
