Preguntamos a un economista: ¿Cuáles son las habilidades clave para sobrevivir en un mundo automatizado?

The Atlantic

• Un estudio realizado por la Universidad de Oxford calculó en el 2013 que cerca de la mitad de los empleos en los Estados Unidos estaban en riesgo de ser absorbidos por los avances tecnológicos y la automatización. En anticipación a este tipo de cambios, ¿hay algo que los estudiantes universitarios puedan hacer hoy para salvar sus carreras? Un panel de expertos da algunos consejos (bastante desalentadores) a la generación que vivirá en la era de la automatización.

Aprendizaje basado en juegos: ¿el futuro de la educación?

EdTech Review

• El aprendizaje debe ser divertido y debe permitirnos disfrutar de nuevas experiencias. Especialistas han descubierto que el aprendizaje basado en juegos se ha convertido en el instrumento educativo más popular utilizado por educadores de todo el mundo quienes buscan crear nuevas experiencias pedagógicas que sean divertidas y útiles para niños y adultos.

• El problema con los rankings universitarios

  The New York Times

• Los rankings universitarios alimentan el mito de que las universiades más selectivas y con más recursos deben tener un lugar especial en la educación superior. Frank Bruni argumenta que el problema con estas clasificaciones es que en ellas no se reconocen las instituciones públicas que priorizan el acceso y la asequibilidad. Bruni agrega que además, los rankings universitarios dan más importancia a la influencia que al aprendizaje.

  La taxonomía de Bloom: ¿hablamos? (2/2)

  Javier Tourón

• Si tuvieses que definir un objetivo de aprendizaje, ¿cuál sería tu definición? ¿Cómo sabemos si un objetivo se ha cumplido o logrado por parte de aquél al que va destinado? La taxonomía publicada por Bloom y sus colaboradores en 1956 fue un intento de clasificación de las metas reales de aprendizaje que los profesores planteaban. He aquí la segunda entrega.

Evidence from China China's three-decade infrastructure investment boom shows few signs of abating. Is China's economic growth a consequence of its purposeful investment? Is China a prodigy in delivering infrastructure from which rich democracies could learn? The prevalent view in economics literature and policies derived from it is that a high level of infrastructure investment is a precursor to economic growth. China is especially held up as a model to emulate. Politicians in rich democracies display awe and envy of the scale of infrastructure Chinese leaders are able to build.

Get Over Your Resistance to Having Difficult Conversations

You can’t be an effective leader if you’re unwilling to have tough conversations from time to time. Whether you’re giving critical feedback to an underperformer or explaining why the team has been restructured, don’t avoid uncomfortable situations. It’s better to address them head-on. Here’s how:

• Shift your mindset. Don’t think of it as a difficult conversation; see it as an opportunity. More often than not, tough discussions can actually strengthen personal bonds if you handle them well.
• Regulate your emotions. You’re likely to be scared, anxious, even angry. Allow yourself to feel those feelings, but then focus on the task at hand.
• Be direct. Don’t hem and haw. Say what you need to say directly and honestly, while also expressing compassion.

Don’t Let Important Customers Pressure You into Giving Them a Discount

When a customer knows that you can’t afford to lose them, they’ll often try everything in their power to wring out cost savings. But don’t give into the pressure to give them a discount. Change the tenor of the conversation by focusing on the value you create for them. Ask which features or services they’d be willing to give up to get a lower price. Doing so will move the conversation away from haggling and toward a productive discussion about what they really value. And don’t get rattled if your customer goes quiet, stops returning phone calls, and ignores you. Remember, you are their preferred supplier for a reason, and there will likely be substantial switching costs if they want to change vendors. Silence is a powerful negotiation tactic; don’t let it push you into giving a revenue-destroying discount.

When Delegating, Make Accountability Clear

The word “accountable” can mean different things to different people. This is why delegation often backfires: The person taking on the task doesn’t know how much authority she has. The next time you delegate something, be explicit about which of these three roles the accountable person should play:

• Issue owner. In this role, the person has complete control over the decision. A full team may be assigned to help, but the issue owner can make the decision however she chooses.
• Team coordinator. The person is an equal member of the team, with the added responsibility of logistics, such as scheduling and defining the agenda. She’s responsible for ensuring that there is a discussion, but she isn’t responsible for the outcome. If the team can’t come to an agreement, she must escalate the decision.
• Tiebreaker. This person doesn’t have the absolute authority of an issue owner, but she’s more than just a coordinator. She’s responsible for helping the team reach a decision: In the absence of consensus, she makes the final call.

Adapted from “To Hold Someone Accountable, First Define What Accountable Means,” by Bob Frisch and Cary Greene
