IDEAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
1.Teachers and learners are all learners
2.The focus is not only answers but also on questions.
3.Understanding is more important than knowing.
4.Innovation and exploration are part of learning.
5.We connect and learn with the world.
27. What is 21st Century
TEACHING and LEARNING?
Recognizes that learners need to have
both knowledge and skills that will
allow them to be successful in a
diverse, global society that is
technology-centric.
Requires learner-centered instruction27
28. It is a combination of 3R’s (reading,
writing, arithmetic) and 4C’s
(Creativity, Critical thinking,
Communication, and Collaboration)
What is 21st Century
TEACHING and LEARNING?
28
30. What is active learning and why is it important?
ctive learning, according
to Charles Bonwell, is any
strategy “that involves
learners in doing things
and thinking about the
things they are doing.”
30
31. What is active learning and why is it important?
Active learning engages
learners in different activities
such as reading, writing,
discussion, or problem solving,
which promote analysis,
synthesis, and evaluation of
class content.
31
32. Active Learning includes
learning activities like:
Involving learners in well
structured question and
answer sessions
Pairing activities such as
“think, pair, share”
Individual and group
project-based assignments
32
34. Active learning strategies
help to initiate learners and
faculty into effective ways to
help learners engage in
activities based on ideas
about how people learn.
34
35. Using active learning
strategies, learners can think
about what they learn, apply it
in real situations toward
further learning, and can
continue to learn
independently.
35
36. These wide variety of teaching and
learning strategies contribute to the total
picture of making learning deeper,
more engaging, meaningful, active and
effective process.
36
37. Active Learning Strategies
Demonstration
• It is a practical presentation of a process or
procedure or skill which is designed to illustrate
theoretical principles, concepts or ideas.
Role play
•It is a method of acting out an imaginary but
real life situation.
37
38. Project-Based Learning
• Learners apply what they have learned
through a project or 3-dimensional
output.
Dialogue Journals
• It is a formal repository for personal learner
writing that can be used to promote
reflection, synthesis of lessons/topics.
38
39. Case Studies
• Learners are required to investigate,
analyze, synthesize, solve problems,
and evaluate various viewpoints on
the issue.
Brainstorming
• Learners are invited to quickly and
freely generate ideas/ responses to
issues/ problems/topics. 39
40. Buzz Session
• The group is divided into small
groups to discuss a particular
issue/problem.
Concept Mapping
• It allows learners to visually
represent connections and
relationships between concepts/
ideas and information.
40
41. Clarification Pauses
• After a 10-15 minutes of lecture, learners are
given an opportunity to ask the facilitator a
question in an informal situation.
Think –Pair-Share
• Learners individually think for a moment
about a question posed in the lecture, pair
up with a co-learner and then share ideas
with the entire group.
41
42. Cooperative Learning
It is a way for learners to take turns with different
roles, such as facilitator, recorder, reporter, etc.
42
Carousel Brainstorming Exercises
Learners working in cooperative groups write their
responses to a question, moving from poster to
poster at time intervals.
43. Jigsaw Method
Each learner works on one part
collaboratively with other learners to combine
the various parts to complete the whole task.
43
Learner’s Debate/Discussion Panel
It offers opportunity for verbal presentations of
views and arguments.
44. Learning Creed
What I hear, see and ask questions about or
discuss with someone else, I begin to
understand.
What I hear, see, discuss, and do,
I acquire knowledge and skill.
“What I hear, I forget,
What I hear, and see, I remember a little.
What I teach to another, I master.” 44
47. It’s Your Turn!
•Think of an active learning strategy which
you may use for your learners during the
learning intervention.
•Provide a unique name for that strategy.
•Write it on a 21st century-designed
paper.
•Post your output.

Editor's Notes
Effective Communication Skills
Information, Media, and Technology Skills
Learning and Innovation Skills (for Higher Education and Middle Level Skills Development)
Life and Career Skills (for Entrepreneurship and Employment)
Overall, the K to 12 program is a necessity given the need to:
Enhance the curriculum to improve mastery of basic competencies,
Ensure seamlessness of primary, secondary, and post-secondary education,
Improve teaching and learning outcomes through the use of enhanced pedagogies – such as spiral progression in Science and Math – and the rationalization of the medium of instruction in our schools, especially for Kindergarten and the early primary levels, and
Expand job opportunities for both graduates and school leavers alike by reducing the mismatch between acquired skills and available jobs, and provide a stronger foundation for post-secondary education and the world of work.
We want to produce holistically developed graduates with 21st century skills. We want to nurture lifelong learners who are better prepared for the rigours of post-secondary education and the world of work.
When it all goes wrong in the middle of a class, when the technologies fail, the show must go on.
The 21st Century teacher is an adaptor. Harnessed as we are to an assessment focused education model the 21st Century Educator must be able to adapt the curriculum and the requirements to teach to the curriculum in imaginative ways. They must also be able to adapt software and hardware designed for a business model into tools utilisable by a variety of age groups and abilities. They must also be able to adapt to a dynamic teaching experience. When it all goes wrong in the middle of a class, when the technologies fail, the show must go on. As an educator, we must understand and apply different learning styles. we must be able to adapt our teaching style to be inclusive of different modes of learning.
The learning pyramid shows that the highest retention of knowledge comes from teaching others. Trust your students.
WRAP UP
Our World is experiencing change at an exponential rate. In order to ensure that our students can thrive and be successful in a future that can’t be predicted, education needs to keep pace with these changes. If we imagine the ideal learning environment—it might be a place where:
Teachers and students are all learners
The focus is more on questions, less on answers
Understanding is more important than knowing
Innovation and exploration are part of learning
We connect and learn with the world
