Assessing 21st century skills: Integrating research findings
Related Papers
This paper synthesizes research evidence pertaining to several so-called 21st century skills: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, metacognition, and motivation. We provide a rationale for focusing on these five skills and explain their importance as educational outcomes. We then summarize peer-reviewed research published in education and psychology in order to answer several questions about these skills: (1) how do researchers define them; (2) how are they related to one another both theoretically and empirically; and (3) how do researchers traditionally measure them. We use the answers to these questions to make several recommendations regarding how best to assess these skills. Briefly, research suggests these skills are inter-related in complex ways. Researchers have used a number of approaches to measuring these skills, including (1) self-reports, (2) global rating scales, (3) standardized assessments, both multiplechoice and performance-based, and (4) observational mea...

The 21st century skills are analyzed: specialized, knowledge, transmission, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. To understand the disparities in the status of these skills among the workers, we need to know the characteristics that differentiate an individual's skill level. Similarly, the identified studies are limited to personality and psychological determinants, neglecting, for instance, social determinants such as social support.

There are four academic skills--21st Century Skills--that are, in some combination or iteration, common to all successfully implemented, long-lasting educational reforms. 1. Communication 2. Collaboration 3. Creativity 4. Critical Thinking This report focuses on defining and describing each of those four academic skills and providing one strategy you can use, as a teacher or parent, with your students to encourage building—use of and improvement in—each of the skills. Included is a sample of student work using the strategy and a link to detailed information on other strategies that are also effective in transforming learning environments for increased engagement and understanding.

st The full promise of class room learning is dependent on its ability to incorporate 21 century skills in its instructional design, delivery and implementation. In this increasingly competitive global economy, it is not enough for students to acquire subject-level mastery alone. Skills like creative thinking, problem-solving, communication and analytical thinking are st necessary for all levels of success. To cope with the demands of the 21 century, students need to know how to use their knowledge and skills-by thinking critically, applying knowledge to new situations, analyzing information, comprehending new ideas, communicating, collaborating, solving problems, and making decisions. If our students are st going to compete successfully in the global economy, more must be done to support their acquisition of 21 century st skills. This article attempts to articulate a vision for 21 century learning in schools, and identify a way in which a teaching strategy can improve outcomes for ...

Now-a-days people are assessed not by their qualifications but how smart they are. Smartness is envisaged as possessing 21 st century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, initiative, collaboration, entrepreneurialism, creativity and so on. This paper emphasises on deliberate effort for teachers to develop these skills in their wards. Teaching strategies are discussed with examples. Cases for and against teaching for these skills are followed by instances where it can be taught formally. It is concluded that teachers need to have a professional mindset and associate themselves with professional learning organisation. .

This study brings attention to the determinants of 21st-century skills and 21st-century digital skills. The following skills are investigated: technical, information, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
These 21st-century skills are typically categorized into three primary domains: learning and innovation skills, knowledge, media, and technology skills, as well as life and professional skills (World Economic Forum, 2023).
The identified 21st-century digital skills are technical, informa-tion, communication, collaboration, creativity, critical think-ing and problem-solving (Van Laar et al., 2017).
We recommend several practices for assessing 21st century skills: incorporating multiple measures to permit triangulation of inferences; designing complex and/or challenging tasks; including open-ended and/or illstructured tasks; using tasks that employ meaningful or authentic, real-world problem contexts; making student thinking and reasoning v...
