Objectives:
Describe the 21st century skills.
Identify ways to develop the 21st
century
skills.
Apply the 21st century skills to
improve
teaching and learning.
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
LEVEL: 6
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.
RAPATAN2015
Activity A
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.
RAPATAN2015
Activity A
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.

Activity A
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!

Analysis
How is instruction done in the different
classes?
What do they all emphasize?

Were the procedures in the Save the
Whales part
similar or different?
What are the similarities or differences?
Which part of the video has a similar
topic as the one done in Activity A?

We wont know what
children would know 10
years from now, so
inquiry is the process
children learn how to
learn and apply those
skills in the learning of
everything for the
future

21st classroom is
highly augmented with
technology that allows
kids to be one on one.
Its like to have a play
time rather than to
have people sitting
around with a teacher
in front.

CRITICAL THINKING
AND
PROBLEM-SOLVING
INSTRUCTION
Teacher poses a problem
and
asks students to solve it or
research for answers.
COMMUNICATION
Teacher raises an issue or

topic and students express
their ideas with varied
media.
COLLABORATION
Teacher provides a task and

students work in teams.
CREATIVITY
Teacher presents a
challenge
and students design a
solution

CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM

SOLVING
Example:
1. Students examine a local building that
has
stairs
but
no
ramp
for
wheelchairs.
Working in groups,
students identify the best place to
install a ramp. Then they determine
the appropriate slope, decide whether
or not the ramp should have a
switchback, and design the ramp
using Pythagorean Theorem.
CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM

SOLVING
Example:
1. Students will get data pertaining to the
number of times a the prices of gasoline
increases / decreases for the past 2 years,
and make a presentation of it. Students then
will explore the patterns in the changes of
price and make a mathematical model out of
it, and determine how the model and the
other mathematical concept could be used to
improve policies regarding the changing of
gasoline price in the Philippines. Then craft a
letter to their Congressional representative
explaining their model and how it can help.
COMMUNICATION AND
COLLABORATION
Example:
1. Students as a group will play Factor
Game, which challenges players to

find factors of polynomial expression
on a game board.
Students will
identify the mathematics that leads to
a winning strategy, and then test their
strategies. Students then present and
compare their playing strategies with
their classmates approaches to
determine optimal strategies.
CREATIVITY
Example:
1. Working
as a group, student will

create and design their own game
that can be played in a carnival,
amusement park or casino. It cannot
be a game that already exists the
game must be unique. Include write
up of it, which explains the overview
of the game, step by step
instruction of how the game is played,
and the probability concept used in

Application
In the pink meta cards, write the skills you
have been doing in the course of your work.
In the blue meta cards, write the 21st
century skills that you will start applying.
Arrange your outputs creatively on a half
sheet of Manila paper.
Post outputs.
Group leader shall present the groups
output.
RAPATAN2015
Closing
Success in the 21st century requires
knowing how to learn. Students today will
likely have several careers in their
lifetime. They must develop strong
critical thinking and interpersonal
communication skills in order to be
successful in an increasingly fluid,
interconnected, and complex world.
Technology allows for 24/7 access to
information, constant social interaction,
and easily created and shared digital
content.
Closing
In this setting, educators can leverage
technology to create an engaging and
personalized environment to meet the
emerging educational needs of this
generation. No longer does learning have to
be one-size-fits-all or confined to the
classroom. The opportunities afforded by
technology should be used to re-imagine
21st-century education, focusing on
preparing students to be learners for life.
