The 21st Century Skills

Objectives:  Describe the 21st century skills;

 Identify ways to develop the 21st century

skills;  Apply the 21st century skills to improve teaching and learning.

Activity A Read the following case. Discuss and decide as a group if the teaching-learning process shows examples of 21st century learning. TOPIC: PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES LEVEL: 6 Teacher shows students a table containing a list of animals classified as endangered and information about their status. Teacher asks students to select from the table three animals that interest them.

Teacher asks students to copy from the table information about the animals’ habitats, the countries where they are found and 2-3 factors that threaten their survival. Students copy information in their notebooks. Teacher next tells students to select 1 out of the three they viewed. Teacher instructs students to sketch a picture of their chosen animal. Teacher shows students references for their drawings.

Teacher tells students to do their sketch on a piece of bond paper. Below the picture, students are asked to write the information they copied. Teacher tells students to frame their picture.

When done, teacher has students post their sketches on a wall in the classroom. In effect, the wall becomes a gallery of animals classified as endangered. Teacher invites students to share their sketches and talk about their animals.

Three Types of Decisions  Yes, all the procedures done in the class are

good examples of 21st century skills – group stands up and shouts “Hooray”!  Some of the procedures done in the class are examples of 21st century skills and some are not – group stands up and says “Hmmm”!  No, all the procedures done in the class are not examples of 21st century skills – group stands up and says “Huh”!

21 21 (video)  How is instruction done in the different classes?

 What do they all emphasize?

Analysis  Which part of the video has a similar topic as the one done

in Activity A?  Where the procedure in the “Save the Whales” part similar or different? What are the similarities or differences?

21st classroom is highly augmented with technology that allows kids to be one on one. It’s like to have a play time rather than to have people sitting around with a teacher in front.

THE K+ 12 GRADUATE

 Group yourselves according to your region.

In the blue meta cards, write the 21st century skills that you will start applying.  Arrange your outputs creatively on a half sheet of Manila paper.  Post outputs.  Group leader shall present the group’s output.

“Success in the 21st century requires knowing how to learn. Students today will likely have several careers in their lifetime. They must develop strong critical thinking and interpersonal communication skills in order to be successful in an increasingly fluid, interconnected, and complex world. Technology allows for 24/7 access to information, constant social interaction, and easily created and shared digital content.

In this setting, educators can leverage technology to create an engaging and personalized environment to meet the emerging educational needs of this generation. No longer does learning have to be one-size-fits-all or confined to the classroom. The opportunities afforded by technology should be used to re-imagine 21stcentury education, focusing on preparing students to be learners for life. - Karen Cator -
