Twenty-first-century learning is simply an effort to define
modern learning by using modern tools. Actually, the contexts are not so
different from the past but the way we teach, the things we use is different.
For example, we teach chemistry as how it is in the past (of course with some
changes ) but we use smartboards, not blackboards. Virtual tools like
smartboards, projectors, computers create borderless learning territories for
students of all ages, anytime and anywhere. So I can say that keyword for the 21st
century learning is technology for me. It allows for 24/7 access to
information, constant social interaction, and easily created and shared digital
content.
Beside this , twenty-first-century learning means that
students produce, think critically and they evaluate informations that given.
Students are active while the teacher is passive in the lessons.
Basically , 21st Century skills are Critical thinking,Creativity,Collaboration,Communication,
Information literacy,Media literacy,Technology literacy,Flexibility,Leadership,Initiative,Productivity,
Social skills. Without these skills, students are left to memorize facts,
recall details for worksheets.
