CHAPTER 1: Instructions in the Early Generations vs. Instructions in the 21st

Century
In the previous lesson we learn that in the early generations, teacher are in
control of information dissemination. That everything is being fed to the Students.
Teachers instruct students and give step by step procedure on how to do such task.
Students would simply follow the instructions given to them without having freedom
to discover learning on their own.

Lecture is an effective mode of instruction to make teaching and learning more

interesting, engaging and would absolutely give students a quality education and
authentic learning. Here are some of useful and effective teaching methods and
strategies;
 Interactive lecture  Laboratory work
 Case-based learning  Fieldwork
 Problem-based learning  Peer tutoring
 Project-based learning  E-learning
 Simulation  PISER( Peer Instruction
and Student Electronic
 Role play Response)
 Experiential learning

The traditional educational practice have been effective during the old times, but they
are no longer effective in the 21st century. These traditional educational practices
would no longer provide the 21st century skills needed by the students for them to be
able to live life in the real world to answer the needs of the society and of the
community.

The 21st century skills

According to Partnership for 21st century skills organization, the following 21st
century skills are relevant to the students professional growth to be effective
professional, citizens, and leaders of the future.
1. Learning and Innovation skills ( communication and collaboration, critical
thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation)
2. Life and Career Skills (leadership and responsibility, productivity and
accountability, social and cross-cultural skills, initiative and self-direction, flexibility
and adaptability)
3. Information, Media, and Technology Skills ( media literacy, Information
Literacy, Information and communication technology skills literacy)
Six key elements for fostering 21st Century learning.
1. Emphasis core subjects - the focus of core subjects is beyond basic compentency
(reading, writing, arithmetic).
2. Emphasize learning skills - learning skills are not limited to what is being learned
in school but also learning persistently throughout their lives.
3. Use 21st century tools to develope learning skills - students need to learn and be
proficient in the use of information and communication technology (ICT)
4. Teach and learn in a 21st century context- when students are more engaged in the
lesson and the lessons are more relevant in their daily living, students then will
understand better the lesson.
5. Teach and learn 21st century content - including the curriculum and teaching
extensively the significant content areas like in global awareness, financial and
business literacy would help the students more competitive not only locally but also
globally.
6. Use 21st century assessments that measure 21 st century skills - improving and
going beyond the standardized test will give students quality learning.
