FORMULA FOR 21 CENTURY

st

LEARNING
3Rs x 7Cs = 21ST CENTURY LEARNING

 This formulation basically means that 3R skills


(Reading, ‘Riting and ‘Rithmetic) are no longer
enough for 21st century education. Along with these
three basic skills, learners also need to have the 7Cs.
The 7Cs are:
1. CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
because of the vast amounts of information available
to the 21st century learner, critical thinking is necessary to
determine the value and correctness of information that they
encounter.
2. CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
sometimes, the commonly accepted ways of thinking
and widely used methods are not enough. 21st century learners
should also be allowed to employ unconventional methods
come up with new ideas.
3. COLLABORATION, TEAMWORK, and LEADERSHIP
working with other is necessarily in the modern
workplace. Modern technology now allows professionals to
work with colleagues located in different parts of the world
without living their homes.
4. CROSS- CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING
multi-cultural collaborations are increasingly becoming
the norm in the 21st century. 21st century learners need to
assimilate themselves in such culturally-diverse environment.
This includes the understanding and acceptance of different
cultures.
5. COMMUNICATIONS, INFORMATION, and MEDIA LETIRACY
the ability to properly communicate using modern
technologies opens doors to new opportunities in today’s IT-
driven society.
6. COMPUTER and ICT LITERACY
computing and ICT literacy includes the ability to use
computers and other digital devices as well as the
understanding of ICT concepts.
7. CAREER AND LEARNING SELF-RELIANCE
today’s rapidly changing information landscape requires
students and professionals to quickly adapt to new
technologies and concepts.
