Reflective Drawings as Means for Depicting ICTS Roles in Science and Engineering Learning in the 21st Century

  • Chapter
Drawing for Science Education

Abstract

Learning in the 21st century necessitates the mastery of a broad set of competencies that are important to success in today’s global and changing world. The special capabilities of advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs), in the form of mobile devices and cloud applications, generate learning environments that are not only ubiquitous – anytime and anywhere, but also omnipresent – anywhere at once (Barak & Levenberg, 2014). Economic changes, shifts in workforce demands, scientific innovations, and technological advancement are redefining the skills that students need in order to be prepared for today’s globalized society.
