The technologies and mechanisms of digitalisation are changing both quickly and unpredictably. To train people to be ready for digitalisation, we can’t teach it as if it were a stable subject. Instead we have to teach people how to detect, make sense of, and adapt to, continual and unpredictable change. At a minimum, this entails learning four sets of skills that we could call problem-finding, epistemological sophistication, equifinal thinking, and computational thinking. Teaching these skills will probably require letting go of our obsession with stable, legible ways of approaching teaching.
