Coming to terms with generic skills: Developing and instructional description
Abstract
Earlier this year I attended a symposium at which people examined the nature and role of generic skills in higher education institutions. From the discussions that were held, it was clear that there existed a number of different beliefs about the characteristics of generic skills. In this paper I examine some of these beliefs, try to explain why I think that these beliefs do not serve to enrich our understanding of generic skills and attempt to present some alternative, more fruitful views about the nature of generic skills.
This paper has been withdrawn.
