a need for students to be able to communicate, function and create change personally, socially, economically
and politically at the local, national and global levels by participating in real-life and real-world service
learning projects.

21st Century Education Contexts

1. 21st Century School. Schools in the 21st century focuses on a project-based curriculum for life that
would engage students in addressing real-world problems and humanity concerns and issues. It will
require knowledge generation, not just information delivery, and schools will need to create a “culture
of inquiry”.
2. 21st Century Curriculum. The twenty-first century curriculum has a critical attributes that the
interdisciplinary, project-based and research-driven. It is connected to local, national and global
communities, in which students may collaborate with people around the world in various projects. The
curriculum also integrates higher-order thinking skills, multiple intelligences, technology and
multimedia, multiple literacies and authentic assessment, including service learning.
3. 21st Century Learning Environment. Typically, a 21st century classroom is not confined to a literal
classroom building but a learning environment where students collaborate with their peers, exchange
insights, coach and mentor on another and share talents and skills with other students. Cooperative
learning is also apparent, in which students work in teams because cooperation is given more emphasis
than competition, and collaborative learning more than isolated learning.
4. Technology in the 21st Century Pedagogy. Technologies are not ends in themselves but these are tools
students use to create knowledge for personal and social change. 21st century learning recognizes full

the school for the students to access their files and supplement their learning inside the classroom.

as ‘digital immigrants” (Prensky, 2001). Most likely, digital native usually react, are random, holistic and
non-linear. Their predominant senses are motion and touch. They learn through experience and learn
differently. Digital immigrants often reflect, are sequential, and linear. Their predominant senses are
hearing is constant (Hawkins and Graham, 1994).
6. 21st Century Skills Outcome and the Demands in the Job Market. The 21st Century skills are a set of
abilities that students need to develop to succeed in the information age. The Partnership for 21 st Century
Skills lists three types, namely;
1. Learning Skills which comprise critical thinking, creative thinking, collaborating, and communication;
2. Literacy Skills which is composed of information literacy, media literacy, and technology literacy; and
3. Life Skills that include flexibility, initiative, social skills, productivity and leadership.
