    SCHOOLS LEARNING ACTION CELL

    JOAN A. IGLESIAS
    Teacher III/ Lecturer
    21st Century skills are 12 abilities that today’s
    students need to succeed in their careers
    during the Information Age.
    These skills are intended to help students keep
    up with the lightning-pace of today’s modern
    markets. Each skill is unique in how it helps
    students, but they all have one quality in
    common.
     Each21st Century skill is broken into
    one of three categories:
    Learning skills

    Literacy skills

    Life skills
     Learning skills (the four C’s) teaches students
    about the mental processes required to adapt and
    improve upon a modern work environment.

     Literacy skills (IMT) focuses on how students can


    discern facts, publishing outlets, and the
    technology behind them. There’s a strong focus on
    determining trustworthy sources and factual
    information to separate it from the misinformation
    that floods the Internet

     Life skills (FLIPS) take a look at intangible


    elements of a student’s everyday life. These
    intangibles focus on both personal and professional
    qualities.
     The four C’s are by far the most popular 21st
    Century skills. These skills are also called learning
    skills.
     More educators know about these skills because
    they’re universal needs for any career. They also
    vary in terms of importance, depending on an
    individual’s career aspirations.
     Critical thinking: Finding solutions to problems
     Creativity: Thinking outside the box
     Collaboration: Working with others
     Communication: Talking to others
    Critical thinking is the most important
    quality for someone to have in health
    sciences.

    Creativity is equally important as a


    means of adaptation. This skill empowers
    students to see concepts in a different
    light, which leads to innovation.
    Collaboration means getting students to
    work together, achieve compromises,
    and get the best possible results from
    solving a problem.

    Communication is the glue that brings


    all of these educational qualities
    together.
     Literacy skills are the next category of 21st
    Century skills.
     They’re sometimes called IMT skills, and they’re
    each concerned with a different element in digital
    comprehension.
     Information literacy: Understanding facts, figures,
    statistics, and data
     Media literacy: Understanding the methods and
    outlets in which information is published
     Technology literacy: Understanding the machines
    that make the Information Age possible
     Information literacy is the foundational skill.
    It helps students understand facts, especially
    data points, that they’ll encounter online.

     Media literacy is the practice of identifying


    publishing methods, outlets, and sources while
    distinguishing between the ones that are
    credible and the ones that aren’t.

     Technology literacy goes another step further


    to teach students about the machines involved
    in the Information Age.
    Life skills is the final category. Also called FLIPS, these skills all
    pertain to someone’s personal life, but they also bleed into
    professional settings.

     Flexibility: Deviating from plans as needed

     Leadership: Motivating a team to accomplish a goal

     Initiative: Starting projects, strategies, and plans on one’s own

     Productivity: Maintaining efficiency in an age of distractions

     Social skills: Meeting and networking with others for mutual


    benefit
    Flexibility is the expression of someone’s ability to
    adapt to changing circumstances.

    Leadership is someone’s penchant for setting goals,


    walking a team through the steps required, and
    achieving those goals collaboratively.

    Initiative is requiring students to be self-starters.

    Along with initiative, 21st Century skills require


    students to learn about Productivity.

    Social skills are crucial to the ongoing success of a


    professional.
