The document discusses 21st century skills and their application in teaching and learning. It provides an example of a classroom activity on endangered species and asks whether the activity demonstrates 21st century skills. It then contrasts the example activity with one shown in a video that better exemplifies skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. The document advocates for teachers to incorporate more 21st century skills in instruction by posing problems for students to solve, facilitating discussion, encouraging team-based work and challenging students to be innovative.

1. The 21st Century
Skills

3. Objectives:
Describe the 21st century skills;
Identify ways to develop the 21st century
skills;
Apply the 21st century skills to improve
teaching and learning.

4. Activity A
Read the following case. Discuss and decide as a
group if the teaching-learning process shows examples of
21st century learning.
TOPIC: PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES
Teacher shows students a table containing a list of
animals classified as endangered and information about
their status. Teacher asks students to select from the
table three animals that interest them.

5. Teacher asks students to copy from the table
information about the animals’ habitats, the
countries where they are found and 2-3 factors
that threaten their survival. Students copy
information in their notebooks.
Teacher next tells students to select 1 out of
the three they viewed. Teacher instructs students
to sketch a picture of their chosen animal.
Teacher shows students references for their
drawings.

6. Teacher tells students to do their sketch on a
piece of bond paper. Below the picture, students
are asked to write the information they copied.
Teacher tells students to frame their picture.
When done, teacher has students post their
sketches on a wall in the classroom. In effect, the
wall becomes a gallery of animals classified as
endangered. Teacher invites students to share
their sketches and talk about their animals.

7. Three Types of Decisions
 Yes, all the procedures done in the class are
good examples of 21st century skills – group
stands up and shouts “Hooray”!
 Some of the procedures done in the class are
examples of 21st century skills and some are not
– group stands up and says “Hmmm”!
 No, all the procedures done in the class are not
examples of 21st century skills – group stands up
and says “Huh”!

8. 21 21 (video)
 Empowerment, Inquiry, Digital Tools, Learning
Through Teaching, and Parents as Primary
Educators

9. Analysis
 What have you realized after watching the video?
 What can we say about Activity A as compared to the video
we have just seen?
 As a Supervisor/teacher, what skills have you exhibited in
the course of your work?
 Can we say that we are now applying the 21st century skills
in our teaching? How?

13. THE K+ 12 GRADUATE

14.  Group yourselves according to your region.
 Provide the groups with pink and blue meta
cards.
 In the pink meta cards, write the skill/s that you
have identified from the CG. In the blue meta
cards, write how you will apply the 21st century
skills.
 Arrange your outputs creatively on a half sheet
of Manila paper.
 Post outputs.
 Group leader shall present the group’s output.
