B. The New Learning Contents
 With the new learning environment and the
explosion of knowledge, content or subject
matter of learning has been modified,
integrated/Interdisciplinary, demand-driven,
emphasis on learning tools on how to retrieve
knowledge, and balance of scientific,
technological, cultural, global, local concepts.
C. The New Processes of Learning

UNESCO’s Four Pillars of
Learning
When Jaques Delor wrote a report for the
UNESCO entitled: Learning: A Treasure from
Within.
It was because he believes that “within each
child lies a treasure,” (Delors, 1996).
The four pillars are seamlessly linked to each
other.
UNESCO’s Four Pillars of Learning From
Delor’s Report:
1. LEARNING TO KNOW
 This implies thirst for knowledge and
acquisition of such knowledge. More so,
it is learning how to learn throughout
one’s life.
How is Literacy Defined?
 UNESCO defined literacy as the ability to
identify, understand, interpret, create,
communicate and compute using printed and
written materials associated with varying
contexts.
The 21st Century Literacies
1) The Arts and Creativity - Creativity and innovation
are 21st century skills, thus in solving problems and
creating art works are part of this literacy.
2) Ecoliteracy - Acquisition of knowledge about climate
change, pollution, loss of natural habitats and
biodiversity. Solutions on how these environmental
problems could addressed must be practiced.
3) Cyberliteracy/Digital Literacy (Information and
ICT Knowledge) - Being in the rapid changes in the use
of technology for teaching and learning, teachers and
learners need to develop and enhance the use of digital
gadgets whether on-line or off-line.
4) Financial Literacy - Basic knowledge about the
basics of economics and financial management.
5) Media Literacy - Teachers and Learners must
learn how to dicern about any information which
are transmitted via various forms and media.
6) Social/Emotional Literacy - Knowledge about
social dimensions and social skills that are
appropriate in the context of society.
7) Globalization and Multi-cultural Literacy -
Respect multi-cultural diversity, aware of the
global trends, acknowledge differences and
similarities, respect each other’s dignity.
2. LEARNING TO DO
 How can the knowledge and the methods be
incorporated and enhanced towards the
development of skills? To apply knowledge, one
must have the 21st century skills.
Qualifications now is equated to skills and not
to knowledge alone.
 Can the knowledge gained be translated to
application? Learning by doing is a pragmatist’s
view of life. Knowledge acquired is nothing
unless applied in daily life.
3. LEARNING TO BE
 It implies developing the potentials of
each individual. Continuing education
must improve self-knowledge and self-
esteem.
4. Learning to Live Together
 This refers to the relationships
among people. It is bringing in
together a community to work
harmoniously, to live in peace and
prosperity and show respect and
concern for others.
Are all pillars are
interrelated with each other
as a basic principles?
One pillar will not function if
it stand alone. There is a
need to connect in order to
address the 21st century
demands for teaching and
learning.
Any
Question?
Thank You!
