National organizations, including the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) and the National Research Council (NRC), have sought to identify and define 21st-century skills, explore their integration within the education system, and address the intersection of 21st-century skills and the teaching of core disciplines (P21 December 2009; NRC 2010). For the purposes of this statement, NSTA references and supports definitions of 21st-century skills provided by both P21 and NRC, which have different emphases but collectively encompass core subject knowledge; learning and innovation skills; information, media, and technology skills; life and career skills; adaptability; complex communication/social skills; nonroutine problem solving; self-management/self-development; and systems thinking.

NSTA recognizes the inherent and strong connection of many 21st-century skills with science education. Consider, for example, the goals of each: Science education reform focuses on fostering deep content knowledge through active intellectual engagement and emulating disciplinary practices and thinking, and 21st-century skills focus on developing broadly applicable capacities, habits of mind, and preparing knowledge workers for a new economy (Windschitl 2009). Exemplary science education can offer a rich context for developing many 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving, and information literacy especially when instruction addresses the nature of science and promotes use of science practices. These skills not only contribute to the development of a well-prepared workforce of the future but also give individuals life skills that help them succeed. Through quality science education, we can support and advance relevant 21st-century skills, while enhancing science practice through infusion of these skills. It is essential, however, that quality science education is not diminished in support of 21st-century skills.

NSTA recommends that the science education community support 21st-century skills consistent with best practices across a science education system, including curriculum, pedagogy, science teacher preparation, and teacher professional development (NRC 1996). It further proposes that quality science education and 21st-century skills support each other when

Through their inquiries, students and teachers will unpack and explore 21st century global competencies such as problem-solving and critical thinking, innovation, collaboration, communication and global citizenship, as well as self-directed learning. These skills will support the inquiry process by allowing both teachers and students the opportunity to solve problems, take risks in thinking, make discoveries through research, participate in teams, and co-construct knowledge, meaning and content, as well as communicate using appropriate digital tools and engage in local, global and digital communities in a responsible, accountable and ethical manner, all while creating and maintaining a positive digital footprint. Teachers and students will be expected to participate in a model of shared leadership throughout this experience.

Abstract:At a key moment when education systems are moving towards the development of 21st-century skills at school, we propose to develop them with a series of enquiry activities connected to the real world on the subject of Chemistry in Compulsory Secondary Education. The four selected topics have practical aspects, as they are related to industrial chemistry, and are proposed in educational practice using the 5E model. The results obtained in a pilot test with 22 students show that the context created facilitates the development of 21st century competences. It is understood that this novel proposal can be successfully employed in other contexts.Keywords: inquiry; IBL; industrial chemistry; secondary education; chemistry; 21st century skills

Today's world requires a multi-dimensional approach to the learning experience. A 21st-century skills-based curriculum pivots away from content acquisition and rote memorization to focus on the skills and abilities that will best serve our generation of young minds. Student engagement and hands-on, interdisciplinary learning are championed over conferring information.

The 21st-century classroom focuses on a creative, collaborative approach to learning. In a computer programming class, students play musical chairs to solve a coding task. They write a few lines of code, move chairs, write a few lines on that person's screen, then repeat the process. Compared to completing the coding task on their own, students learn more by seeing how their peers approached the problem and found a solution.

Are you ready for an education that equips students with the skills they need to become a generation of world-changers With countless opportunities for academic and personal growth both inside and outside the 21st-century skills classroom, The Hun School of Princeton could be the place for you. Our skills-based 21st-century curriculum helps prepare students for the next step.

There is a need to arm students with noncognitive, or 21st Century, skills to prepare them for a more STEM-based job market. As STEM schools are created in a response to this call to action, research is needed to better understand how exemplary STEM schools successfully accomplish this goal. This conversion mixed method study analyzed student work samples and teacher lesson plans from seven exemplary inclusive STEM high schools to better understand at what level teachers at these schools are engaging and developing student 21st Century skills.

We found of the 67 lesson plans collected at the inclusive STEM high schools, 50 included instruction on 21st Century skills. Most of these lesson plans designed instruction for 21st Century skills at an introductory level. Few lesson plans encouraged multiple 21st Century skills and addressed higher levels of those skills. Although there was not a significant difference between levels of 21st Century skills by grade level, there was an overall trend of higher levels of 21st Century skills demonstrated in lesson plans designed for grades 11 and 12. We also found that lesson plans that lasted three or more days had higher levels of 21st Century skills.

These findings suggest that inclusive STEM high schools provide environments that support the development of 21st Century skills. Yet, more can be done in the area of teacher professional development to improve instruction of high levels of 21st Century skills.

Because academic skills, noncognitive skills, and content knowledge have fluid definitions and may not be directly observable, for the purposes of this study we used 21st Century skills consisting of knowledge construction, real-world problem solving, skilled communication, collaboration, use of information and communication technology for learning, and self-regulation (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2016). Graduates who possess 21st Century skills are sought out by employers (National Research Council, 2013). In the environment of rapid advancements in technology and globalization, employees need to be flexible and perpetual learners in order to keep up with new developments (Bybee, 2013; Johnson, Peters-Burton, & Moore, 2016). There is a need to ensure that students who graduate the K-12 system are adept in 21st Century skills so that they can be successful in this new workforce landscape (Bybee, 2013). 59ce067264
