TEACHERS OF THE EARLY GENERATION VS
ST
TEACHERS OF THE 21 CENTURY
Teachers were once regarded as instruments for information
dissemination and communicators for knowledge.
This was during the period in which teacher centered approach was
observed in the education system.
This system usually ends up making the students passive learners.
Many educational systems are moving towards a student-centered
approach.
Besides students working collaboratively with their peers, they are
being developed to be creative and critical thinkers.

STUDENTS OF THE EARLY GENERATIONS VS
ST
STUDENTS OF THE 21 CENTURY
In as much as the roles of the teachers change to meet the needs of the
students in today’s education, the students’ roles likewise need to change to
become more competent, knowledgeable in theories and in practice, and
competitive in the call of the community and the world.
Students now have access to vast amounts of information and knowledge
online which they can access using their phones or computers.
Students now are more digi-centric and are more heavily influenced by what
they see, do and experience online.

THE 21 ST CENTURY SKILLS
Making education of quality does not focus alone on the cognitive aspect of
learning.
Incorporating the non-academic skills is likewise vital in the teaching learning
process.
These skills are described as the ‘transversal skills’ which encompass the 21st
century skills, soft skills, generic skills and non-cognitive skills – values and
attitudes, including collaboration, self-discipline, resourcefulness and respect for
the environment.
THE 21 ST CENTURY SKILLS (CONT.)
According to the Partnership for 21st Century Skills Organization, the following
21st century skills are relevant to the student’s professional growth to be
effective professionals, citizens, and leaders of the future:
 Learning and Innovation Skills: Communication and collaboration, critical
thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation.
 Life and Career Skills: Leadership and responsibility, productivity and
accountability, social and cross-cultural skills, initiative and self-direction,
flexibility and adaptability.
 Information, Media, and Technology Skills: Media Literacy, information
literacy; information and communication technology (ICT) literacy.
THE 21 ST CENTURY SKILLS (CONT.)
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has suggested six key
elements for fostering 21st century learning.
 Emphasize core subjects: The focus of core subjects is beyond basic
competency; this is more on understanding the core academic content to a
higher level.
 Emphasize learning skills: Learning skills are not limited to what is being
learned in schools but also learning persistently throughout their lives.
 Use 21st century tools to develop learning skills: Students need to learn and
be proficient in the use of ICT tools to access, relate, manage, evaluate, and
construct new knowledge or information.
THE 21 ST CENTURY SKILLS (CONT.)
 Teach and learn in a 21st century context: When students are more engaged
in the lesson and the lessons more relevant in their daily living, students then
will understand better the lesson and can truly say that they learn.
 Teach and learn 21st century content: Including in the curriculum and teaching
extensively the significant content areas like in global awareness, financial
economic and business literacy; and civic literacy would help the students to be
more competitive not only locally but also globally.
 Use 21st century assessments that measure 21st century skills: Improving
and going beyond the standardized test will give students quality learning.
Teachers must give assessments that would measure students’ creativity and
skills that could be applied in real-life situations.
