OVERVIEW

A 21st century education is about giving students the skills they need to succeed

in this new world, and helping them grow the confidence to practice those skills. With

so much information readily available to them, 21st century skills focus more on

making sense of that information, sharing and using it in smart ways.

Education prepares students for life in the world. Amidst emerging social issues

and concerns, there is a need for students to be able to communicate, function and create

change personally, socially, economically and politically at the local, national and

global levels by participating in real-life and real-world service-learning projects.

21ST CENTURY EDUCATION CONTEXT

21st Century Schools

• Schools in the 21st century focus on a project-based curriculum for life that would
engage students in addressing real-world problems and humanity concerns and
issues.
• Schools will go from “buildings” to “nerve
centers” with open walls and are roofless
while connecting teachers, students and the
community to the breadth of knowledge in the
world.
• Teachers will transform from dispensers of
information to facilitators of learning.
• Schools will need to create a “culture of
inquiry”.
• Learners has change, in the pass, learners spent a required amount of time in
respective courses, received passing grades and graduated.
• These changes have implications for teachers:
o Teachers must discover student interest
o They must instill curiosity
o They must be flexible on how they teach
o They must excite learners
• 21st Century learning demands a school
that excites students for school. There is a
little or no discipline problem because of
strong student engagement. Likewise,
parents are informed about positive changes
in their children. As a result, students
manifest significant improvements in basic
skills of reading, writing, speaking,
listening, researching, scientific
explorations, math, multimedia skills and
other.

o Connected to local, national and global communities, in which students


may collaborate with people around the world in various projects.
o Integrating higher-order thinking skills and Multiple Intelligence
o Using technology and Multimedia, Multiple literacies and authentic
assessments
• The classroom is filled with self-directed students.

rather is connected to previous knowledge, personal experience, interest, talents
and habits.

The 21st Century Learning Environment

A 21st century learning classroom is not


confined to a literal classroom building but a
learning environment where students
collaborate with their peers, exchange insights,
coach and mentor one another and share talents
and skills with other students.

Technology in 21st Century Pedagogy

Technologies are not ends in themselves but these are tools students use to
create knowledge for personal and social change.

immigrants.

21st Century Skills Outcome and the Demands in the Job Market

The 21st century


skills are a set of abilities
that students need to
develop to succeed in the
information age. The
Partnership for 21st Century
Skills lists three types,
namely:
1) Learning skills;
2) Literacy Skills; and
3) Life Skills.
These skills have always
been important in an
information-based economy.

The 21st Century Learning Implications

• Teachers should practice teaching cross-displinary skills in related courses, such


as integrating research methods in various disciplines; articulate teaching
scientific concepts in verbal, written, and graphic forms; presenting laboratory
reports to a pool of specialist, or use emerging technologies, software programs
and multimedia applications as an extension of an assigned project.
• Assessment tools should contain the 21st century skills. They may design or
adopt learning standards that explicitly describe multi-disciplinary skills that
students should acquire and master.
• Schools and teachers should use a variety of applied skills, multiple
technologies and new ways of analyzing and processing informationl, while
also taking initiative, thinking creatively, planning out the process, and working
collaboratively in teams with other students.
• Schools should allow the students to pursue alternatives, in which the student
can earn academic merits and satisfy graduation requirements by completing an
internship, apprenticeship or volunteer experience.
