Excerpt from the Discussion of The 21st Century Skills Excerpt from the Discussion of Dr. Mike Rapatan DLSU

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Objectives: Describe the 21st century skills. Identify ways to develop the 21st century skills. Apply the 21st century skills to improve teaching and learning. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

TOPIC: PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES 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 RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Activity A 1 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 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Activity A 2 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. RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Activity A 3 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 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Activity A 4 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. RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Activity A 5 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. RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Three Types of Decisions 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”! RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 21:21 VIDEO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION How is instruction done in the different classes? What do they all emphasize? RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Analysis Which part of the video has a similar topic as the one done in Activity A? Were the procedures in the “Save the Whales” part similar or different? What are the similarities or differences? RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CASE CLASS VIDEO CLASS Students copied information from a given table. Students read the information they copied. Students worked alone. Students sketched a picture based on a reference. Students answered a problem question and gathered information to answer the problem. Students reported their findings to a mixed group. Students worked in teams. Students made a presentation using different media. RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION RAPATAN2015

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 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… DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

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

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 21st CENTURYSKILLS INSTRUCTION CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM-SOLVING 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 or an innovation. RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING Example: 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. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING Example: 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. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION Example: 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. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CREATIVITY Example: 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 the game including the mathematical calculation for the expected value of winning the game.

SKILLS THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING Application In the YELLOW 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 group’s output in 2 minutes. SKILLS THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING 21st SKILLS THAT I WANT TO START APPLYING RAPATAN2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION “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. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 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. - Karen Cator - DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
