Abstract

Rapid digital transformations and the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly changed the future of work. Higher cognitive skills, digital competence, and socio-emotional intelligence have become important more than ever. To sustain the relevance of physics education, it is imperative to align what is being learned to what is needed in the future. This presentation discusses indicators of durable physics competencies. It talks about specific pedagogies and assessments that teachers can adopt to strengthen learners' competencies for the future.
