26. IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS
1. Teachers must discover student
interest by helping them see what
and how they are learning to prepare
them for life in the real world.
31. The 21st Century Curriculum has
critical attributes that are
interdisciplinary , project-
and research driven.
32. It is connected to local, national and
global communities, in which

people around the world in various
projects
33. The curriculum also integrates higher-
order-thinking skills, multiple
intelligences, technology and multi-
media, multiple literacies and authentic
assessment, including service learning.
35. The 21st Century classroom is not confined to a literal
classroom building a learning environment where students
collaborate with their peers, exchange insights , coach and
mentor one another and share talents and skills with
other students.
Cooperative learning is apparent in which students’ work in
team because cooperation is given more emphasis than
competition, and collaborative learning more than isolated
learning.
37. • Technologies are not ends in themselves but there are
tools students use to create knowledge for personal and
social change.
• 21st Century learning recognizes full access to
technology. Therefore, a better bandwidth of Wifi access
should be available along areas of the school for the
students to access their files and supplement their
learning inside the classroom.
38. • Various laboratories and learning centers are set
up in such a way that they allow a space needed
to students’ simulation and manipulative works.
All classrooms should have televisions to watch
broadcasts created by the school and other
schools around. Other resources in the school
can be utilized by students in creating
opportunities for their knowledge explorations
40. Today’s students are referred
to as “digital natives”, while
educators as “digital
immigrants” (Prensky 2001
41. Characteristics of digital natives
a. random holistic and non-linear.

44. • The 21st Century skills are a set of abilities that students need to
develop to succeed in the information age. The partnership for
21st Century Skills lists three types, namely:
• (1) Learning Skills which comprise critical thinking, creative
thinking, collaborating, and communicating,
• (2) Literary skills which is composed of information literacy, and
technology literacy; and
• (3) Life Skills that include flexibility, initiative, social skills,
productivity and leadership. These skills have always been
important in an information-based economy.
45. • According to Partnership for 21st Century Skills
(P21), various industries look for employees who
can think critically, solve problems creatively,
innovate, collaborate and communicate.
Therefore, for a perfect match between academe
and industry demands schools needs to embed
time-tested industry-demanded work skills in the
curriculum.
47. •21st Century skills are viewed relevant to all
academic areas and the skills may be
taught in a wide variety of both in-campus
and community settings.
48. Teachers should practice teaching cross-disciplinary
skills in related courses, such as integrating
research methods in various disciplines; articulating
technical scientific concepts in verbal, written and
graphic forms: presenting laboratory reports to a
pool of specialists, or use emerging technologies,
software programs and multimedia applications as
an extension of an assigned project.
49. •Schools and teachers should use a variety
of applied skills, multiple technologies, and
new ways of analyzing and processing
information, while also taking initiative ,
thinking creatively, planning out the
process, and working collaboratively in
teams with other students.
50. • Schools need to adopt and develop new ways of
teaching and learning that reflect a changing world.
The purpose of school should be to prepare students
for success after graduation and therefore, schools
need to prioritize the knowledge and skills that will
be in the greatest demand, such as those deemed to
be most important by college professors and
employers. Hence, teaching students to perform
well in school or pass the test alone is no longer
sufficient.
51. Henceforth, teachers must realize and students
must understand that no one can move toward a
vision of the future unless he/she understands the
socio-historical context of where they are now,
what events led them to be where they are now,
how this can inform development of a vision for
the future and how they want to get there. Thus,
a clear articulation of the purpose of education for
the 21st Century is the place to begin.
