Excerpt from Twentieth Century Educational Problems The discussions following are the result of a profound conviction, growing and partly expressed during the closing decade of the nineteenth century, that there should be a clearer understanding of the special functions of the several types of institution comprising our half-developed but rapidly crystallizing educational system, and that with fuller understanding would come nobler ideals resulting in a more practical because a more fraternal harmony of endeavor; and a mighty uplifting effort in which all those influences now operating divergently shall join forces along lines prayerfully planned for the ultimate good of the common cause. Several of these chapters were originally prepared for addresses or review articles and have been slightly modified for their present use. Only a few phases of the higher education have been broached; the treatment has not been exhaustive; nor has an attempt been made to adhere to the rigidly logical in the arrangement of topics.

With the rapid changes in the social, political, economic and technological landscape around the world, today’s learners face a more globally competitive job market after leaving school. The 21st century, which is characterized by the emergence of knowledge-based societies, expects learners to be comfortable in dealing with ambiguities and complexities in the real world and to be able to use knowledge as a tool at their workplace. This book will help readers develop an in-depth understanding of authentic problem solving and learning, and how it can be used to make a difference in their school or learning communities for the development of 21st century competencies. Comprising 20 chapters written by Singapore-based and international authors, the book is organized into three themes: authentic problems, authentic practices, and authentic participation. It details innovative school practices (e.g. productive failure) concerning the design of problems, learning activities, learning environments, and ICT tools for authentic problem solving and learning. Along with theoretical explanations of authentic learning processes and outcomes, the book also elucidates how students learn by generating and exploring solutions to complex problems and which cognitive functions are needed at different stages of problem-based learning. Presenting coherent descriptions of instructional design principles, successful cases and challenges encountered in K-12 schools and learning communities, the book provides useful information, new insights, and practical guidance for school directors, parents, teachers and researchers seeking to develop authentic learning environments for 21st century learners.
