    The document contrasts traditional 20th century education with 21st century education. Traditional education focused on lower-order thinking skills, passive learning from textbooks, and was teacher-centered. In contrast, 21st century education emphasizes higher-order thinking skills, active and collaborative learning driven by research, and is more student-centered with the teacher as a facilitator. It also focuses more on applying knowledge and developing skills rather than just memorizing facts, gives students more freedom and responsibility for their learning, and better addresses student diversity and the development of 21st century literacies.
