ABSTRACT

This study aimed to identify the level of preparedness of teacher education students
along the 21st Century Skills. The descriptive-survey method was used with the use of a
questionnaire-rating scale consisting of the 21 st Century Skills which were adapted and modified
from the framework of 21st Century Learning. The Field Study (FS) 6 students and faculty
members of the College of Teacher Education of the University of Cordilleras served as the
respondents. It was found out that, generally, the teacher education students were moderately
prepared along the 21st Century Skills with their level of preparation in Information,
Communication and Technology (ICT) Literacy Skills being the lowest.

The level of preparedness along the ICT Literacy Skills affects the development of critical
thinking and problem-solving skills of students. The ability to critically evaluate information
derived from media, functional, critical thinking and problem solving skills are enhanced with
the use of the ICT skills. The 21 st Century Skills can be developed among teacher education
students with the provision of relevant courses, program of activities and learning experiences
with the initiative to learn most especially along the ICT Literacy Skills.
