leaving school without having this innovative capacity

highly desired in the 21st century lear ner.

world where communication, collaboration and
teamwork is essential (Adain and Murphy, 2008). Due
to the increasing improvement of technolog y an
economic globalization, these skills are now absolutely
necessary, without them students would not succeed in
moder n society. Effective collaboration requires
student to lear n to respect each other’s differences and
use their different personalities. The ability to
communicate effectively is an essential ingredient in
any successful collaboration between students.
