 Introduction
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.
21ST CENTURY CONTEXTS
 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.

Learners will become adaptive to changes. In the past,

learners spent a required amount of time in respective
courses, received passing grades and graduated. Today,
learners are viewed in a new context.​
​
 These changes have implication for teachers: (1) Teachers must
discover student interest by helping them see what and how they
are learning to prepare them for life in the real world; (2) They must
instill curiousity, which is fundamental to lifelong learning; (3) They
must be flexible in how they teach; and (4) They must excite learners
to become more resourceful so that they will continue to learn
outside formal school.​
21st Century learning demands a school that excites
students for school. There is little to no discipline
problem because of strong student engagement.

Likewise, parents are informed about positive

changes in their children. As a result, students
manifest significant improvement in basic skills of
reading, writing, speaking, listening, researching,
scientific explorations, math, multimedia skills and
others.​
 21st Century Curriculum
The 21st century curriculum has critical
attributes that are interdisciplinary, project-
based and research-driven.

It is connected to local, national and global

communities, in which students may
collaborate with people around the world.
 Twenty-first century curriculum is the "abandonment"
finally, of textbook-driven, teacher-centered, paper and
pencil schooling". Learning is not confined through
memorization of facts and figures alone but rather is
connected to previous knowledge, personal
experience, interest, talents and habits.
 The 21st Century Learning Environment

A 21st Century learning environment values cooperation,

teamwork, and the use of technology. It encourages students
to put their research findings into practice, exhibiting a
challenging real- life curriculum. To establish a world - class
21st – century learning environment, schools should prioritize
environmentally friendly, energy – efficient , and green
infrastructure . Ideal settings include wall space, display
places, and gathering areas where parents and community
members can watch performances and discuss student work.
 Technology in the 21st Century Pedagogy

21st-century pedagogy refers to the approach

to teaching and learning that is deeply
intertwined with the use of technology and the
development of skills required for success in
the modern, digital world.
1.Digital Platform for Research and Learning
2.Project Management and Organization Tools
3.Learning Management Systems (LMS)
4.Open Educational Resources (OER)
5.Social Media for Advocacy
6.Mind Mapping and Organization Tools
21 Century learning recognizes full access to
technology. Therefore, a better bandwidth of
Wifi access should be available along areas
of the school. All classrooms should have
televisions to watch broadcasts.
 Understanding 21st Century Learners

• According to Prensky, 2001, the

students we have todays are referred
to as digital natives while educators as
digital emigrants.
 • The students in our schools today are
intelligent, independent and extremely
capable. They are skilled with technology
and comfortable with global and
intercultural communication. We can
expect that future generations are going to
have even more experience in these areas.
21st century skills outcome and the demand

The 21st Century skills are a set of

abilities that students need to
develop to succeed in the
information age.
 21st Century Skills lists three types;

(1) Learning Skills which comprise critical

thinking, creative thinking, collaborating, and
communicating
(2) Literacy Skills which is composed of
information literacy, media literacy, and
technology literacy
(3) Life Skills that include flexibility,
initiative, social skills, productivity and
leadership. These skills have always been
important in an information-based
economy.
 Likewise, skills demanded in the job market
include knowing a trade, following directions,
getting along with others, working hard and being
professional, efficient, prompt, honest, and fair.
More so, to adapt to these jobs in this
information age, students need to think deeply
about issues, solve problems creatively, work in
teams, communicate clearly in many media,
learn ever- changing technologies and deal with
the influx BUILDING AND ENHANCING NEW
LITERACIES ACROSS THE CURRICULUM
 According to Partnership for 21st Century Skills
(P21), various industries look for employees who
can think critically, solve problems creatively,
innovate, collaborate and communicate.
Therefore, for a perfect match between academe
and industry demands, schools need to embed
time-tested industry-demanded work skills in the
curriculum.
Common 21st century technology tools for learning

TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR LEARNING

Education technology is the effective use of

technology tools in learning as a concept it
concerns an arrat of tools such as media,
machines and networking hardware as well
as considering underlying theoretical
perspective for their effective application.
 Example:
1. Affinity group- Electronic space where individual unites with "common
interest."

display final work, and/or provide a space for reflective learning.

4. Hypertext - These are electronic texts that provide multiple links and allow
users to trace ideas in immediate and idiosyncratic directions. Hypermedia

 The 21st Century Learning Implications
All academic fields can benefit from teaching 21st
century skills, which can be done in a variety of context.
Incorporating research methodologies, communicating
technical ideas clearly, teaching cross-disciplinary
abilities, and utilizing developing technology are all
talents that educators should exercise. Assessment
tools should incorporate these skills, as they may be
mandated by regulatory bodies and accrediting
organizations. Applied skills, a variety of technology, and
cooperative learning should be taught in schools.
