between aspects of creative and critical thinking.\u00a0 Similarly, and, to playfully re-package the 4Cs for promotion and pedagogical purposes, we could suggest \u201cCrea-critical Collab-ication\u201d as a portmanteau verbal representation of this four-way interrelationship between the 4Cs.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, the 4Cs are not completely separated entities, but can be seen four important, in interlinked elements that can help individuals in their learning process and synergistical bootstrap the development of their cognitive potentials. Their teaching and development require a complex intervention and mobilization of psychosocial resources\u2014a major shift in pedagogical techniques and even changes institutional structures (Ananiadou &#038; Claro, 2009). These efforts are both aided and complicated by the massive changes and rates of change caused by evolving digital technologies (Van Laar, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Further Proposal: A \u201c7Cs Model for the Future of Education &#038; Work\u201d<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Traditional educational approaches cannot meet the educational needs of our emergent societies if they do not internalize, promote, and assess in line with the new learner characteristics of the 21st century (Sahin, 2009).<\/p>\n<p>There can be many valid ways to parse a conceptual space.\u00a0 \u00a0But we choose to look beyond a strictly defined category of \u201cskills\u201d and consider larger practical and global contexts, I would also argue for the inclusion of at least\u00a0<em><strong>three additional Cs: \u201cComputer literacy,\u201d \u201cCross-cultural awareness\u201d and \u201cCitizenship\/Character\u201d<\/strong>)<\/em>\u00a0into future models for the future on education and work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"secondary\" class=\"widget-area\" role=\"complementary\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer id=\"colophon\" class=\"site-footer\" role=\"contentinfo\">\n<div id=\"footer-widgets\" class=\"full-container\"><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-am27d-d6d284fe1509a44e0a9a3b41d2ad46bc hr-default  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_social_share '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-av_social_share-2a7b663bde2f89133e47a99135fba37a av-social-sharing-box-icon  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-same-width av-social-sharing-center'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>My Social Networks<\/h5><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link to LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/drbtm\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Link to LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Link to LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Link to Mail\" href='http:\/\/wordpressbranden@gmail.com' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Link to Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Link to Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-449","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":475,"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/449\/revisions\/475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thornhill-miller.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
