Abstract
The advent of the knowledge-based economy calls for new paradigms in education. There has increasingly been a search for educational methodologies that emphasise areas such as real world challenges, higher-order thinking skills, multi-disciplinary learning, independent learning and entrepreneurship. According to Feuerstein these challenges relate primarily to the ability to adapt and confront change. How can educational psychology and cognitive theories contribute to these endeavours?
