ARE YOU SUITABLE FOR THE 21st CENTURY?

     From the very beginning of teaching to current, so many things have changed in education. Previously learning was all about imitating and acquiring what was provided to you but now with the new Technologies and approaches in the 21st-century learners have the control of the content of the lesson and an environment of interaction as well as creativity. The teacher has the role of a guide while the actual doers are the learners. This apparently has a more positive effect than sitting and repeating what the teacher says, right? Now in 21st-century learning, students are excepted to have 4cs: communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. To gain these skills, teachers create an environment for learners where they can communicate with their peers while working on tasks enhancing critical thinking and gain independence. Classes are now learner-centered contrary to other centuries. Now, ask yourselves which one would you prefer: Sitting on a desk for at least 6 hours a day and producing nothing beneficial for you or having an interactional class full of tasks that develop your creativity and communication skills? If you want to add more requirements for 21st-century learning, please comment below!

Have a nice day,

Refiye.
