1. CHARACTERISTIC OF 21ST
CENTURY TEACHERS AND
LEARNERS AND THEIR
EXPECTATIONS.
DR ABDUL KOKORI

2. STUDENTS OF THE EARLY
GENERATIONS VS. STUDENTS OF THE
21ST CENTURY

3. o Students in the earlier generations are indeed different in
today’s generation.
o Having technologies at their side make them more
advanced in information where they do not need to have
a long distance walk just to access information from the
books in the library.
o Almost all information and tools that they need are
already at the palm of their hands. They only need to
access and use these technologies rightfully and
appropriately.
o Before, the students depend so much from the teacher
when it comes to learning. They listen passively to the
discussions, they only speak or answer when they are
asked.
o Students before learn theories through memorization
of text, and many others in which we can tell that is
not entirely authentic.

their own understanding of the lesson;
2. Create works that are original;
3. Communicate clearly with other students and with
their teachers;
4. Collaborate with one another to achieve higher
standard of learning; and
5. Innovate learning and their outputs.
