THE CRITICAL ATTRIBUTES OF 21th CENTURY EDUCATION:

1. Integrated and Interdisciplinary

This critical attribute implies that teachers need to review the school
curriculum and identify strategies or ways on how different subjects can be
effectively linked to enhance the learning experiences of students.

2. Technologies and Multimedia

This critical attribute implies that your school will need to acquire and use
computers and various multimedia equipment to enhance learning to the
best extent possible. Training is also needed for teacher-users as part of a
bigger “technology plan.”

3. Global Classrooms

This critical attribute implies that teachers need to include current global
issues/concerns, such as peace and respect for cultural diversity, climate
change, and global warming, in classroom discussions.

4. Creating/Adapting to Constant Personal and Social Change, and Lifelong


Learning

This means that teachers should facilitate students’ acquisition of KSAVs


that go beyond academics. Learning should take place not only for the
purpose of passing exams, but also for transferring knowledge to real life
situations. The curriculum should be planned in such a way that the students
will continue to learn even outside the school’s portals.

5. Student-Centered

This critical attribute implies that teachers should act as facilitators of


learning — not as “sages on the stage” but as “guides on the side.” Learners
should be given opportunities to discover new knowledge, learn with one
another, and create their own learnings.

6. 21st Century Skills

Education in the 21st century promotes the skills needed to be productive


members of today’s society. It is not enough for students to learn the basic
skills of reading, writing, and numeracy, but should develop in themselves
skills that would help them cope with life and work in 21st century
communities. These skills include, among others, critical and creative
thinking skills, problem solving and decision making, and ICT literacy and
skills. As a teacher, you are expected to possess these 21st century skills
before you can help your students develop these skills.

7. Project-Based and Research-Driven

Among the critical attributes of 21st century education is the emphasis on


data, information, and evidence-based decision making. It relies heavily on
student-driven activities to encourage active learning. This implies that
teachers of the 21st century need to be knowledgeable about research to
guide their students’ learning through self-directed activities, such as
learning projects within and outside their classrooms. Investigatory projects
showcased in many science fairs across Southeast Asia and in the world are
examples of research-based activities of students.

8. Relevant, Rigorous and Real-world

This critical attribute implies that topics are taught using current and
relevant information and linked to real-life situations and context. As a 21st
century teacher, you need to be updated on the current trends,
developments, and issues in your school, community, and in the world, so
that your teaching will be relevant to the lives of your students. Newspapers,
TV and radio news, and the internet are good sources of relevant and up-to-
date information that you can access.

Describe a 21st Century Teacher and discuss some innovative tools for
learning?

They're Adaptive

They are able to adapt to whatever comes their way. Being a teacher in
today's world means that you have to adapt to the ever-changing tools and
changes that are being implemented in the schools. Smartboards are
replacing chalkboards and tablets are replacing textbooks and a 21st-
century teacher needs to be okay with that.

Lifelong Learners

These educators don't just expect their students to be a lifelong learner, but
they are as well. They stay up-to-date with current educational trends and
technology and know how to tweak their old lesson plans from years before
to make them more current.

Flexible

Teachers are able to adapt to various learning styles and needs of the
learners. They can facilitate learner-centered teaching with flexibility using
alternative modes of delivery.

Creative Problem Solver

Teachers create innovative ideas and effective solutions to the arising


problem in the field, be it in the classroom, in the school, or the profession as
a whole.

Are Forward Thinking

An effective 21st-century educator thinks about their students' future and is


aware of the career opportunities that may arise from them. They are always
planning to ensure that no child gets left behind so they focus on preparing
today's children for what's to come in the future.
Are Advocates for the Profession

They are an advocate not only for their students but their profession. Today's
teachers are being watched with a close eye because of all of the changes in
curriculum and the Common Core. Instead of sitting back, a 21st-century
teacher takes a stand for their themselves and their profession. They pay
close attention to what is going on in education and they address these
issues head-on.

Innovative Tools for Learning

 LMS (learning management system)


 Laptops
 Tablets
 Speaker
 Online meeting Platforms

Explain how can you integrate 21st century education in the curriculum.

The curriculum is already revised in the 21st century, we are already


doing that but what can I add is/are the use of technology such as
computers, robotics, LMS. Etc. That is how to use the learning technology
tools. The use of technology in implementing the curriculum is the use of
excel in computing grades, the use of learning management system,
automated request of student’s certifications and student’s documents
through the use technology (universities websites).

Analysis: How do youth assess students 21st Century life and career skills
and their learning environment

1. Youth may assess students' 21st century life and career skills and
their learning environments through a variety of methods such as
surveys, interviews, focus groups, and observation and also through
the use of technology. These methods can help to gather information
about the students' skills and knowledge in areas such as critical
thinking, problem solving, collaboration, communication, and digital
literacy, as well as their perceptions of their learning environment
and the support they receive.
Implication: How may be the results of this study be utilized in enhancing the
21st Century life and career skills of students and their learning
environments?

1. The results of a study assessing students' 21st century life and career
skills and their learning environments can be used to inform the
development and implementation of programs and policies aimed at
enhancing these skills and environments. For example, the results may
indicate areas where students need more support or resources, and this
information can be used to inform the development of targeted
interventions or the allocation of resources. Additionally, the results
may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of existing programs and
make adjustments as needed. Additionally, teachers and schools can
use the results of the assessment to align and adapt their teaching
approach and curriculum, to better support the development of these
skills in their students.
