The main capital of knowledge worker is the “ KNOWLEDGE”. The knowledge worker can be differentiated from other forms of worker by its emphasis on non-routine , problem solving that requires a combination of convergent , divergent and creative thinking.

The kind of teaching needed today requires teachers to become high-level knowledge workers who constantly advance – their own professional knowledge as well as that of their profession. To be an effective teacher in this century, teachers need to be able to engage and interact with a wide variety of information from an ever increasing range of sources.

Teachers today need to become lifelong learners in an information society where information or knowledge flows freely, is instant and infinite. For occurring this, Teachers and Students alike need to develop strategies for ‘engaging, working and constructing with New knowledge.’
