1. TEACHING STRATEGIES for TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY learners CARLINE JANE B. DUSAL TEACHER I BY

2. OBJECTIVE At the end of the session, the participants would be able to: 1.Identify key teaching strategies suitable for 21st-century learners. 2.Apply learner-centered approaches in classroom instruction

3. ACTIVITY 1.Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 members. 2.Each group brainstorms and discusses the characteristics of 21st-century learners (e.g., digital literacy, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity). 3.Groups will design a classroom setup and outline teaching strategies that incorporate technology, active learning, and real-world problem solving to engage these learners. 4.Each group creates a presentation (visual poster, slide deck, or oral presentation) to share their strategies and classroom plan with the class. After presentations, groups reflect on the effectiveness and potential challenges of their strategies

5. Teaching is an effort to help someone obtain or modify some skills, mind-set, knowledge, ideas, or appreciation. The main intend of teaching is to bring about the preferred behavioral change in the person. Introduction

6. INTRO CONT. Instructional strategies are techniques teachers use to help students become independent, strategic learners. These strategies become learning strategies when students independently select the appropriate ones and use them effectively to accomplish tasks or meet goals. Instructional strategies can: motivate students and help them focus attention, organize information for understanding and remembering, monitor and assess learning. 21st century teaching strategies are teaching practices which focuses more on teaching the students for improving their intellectual behavior by using various new and innovative ideas rather than making them recite the syllabus to pass examination with the same old style . 21st century teaching strategies uses new technology-based gadgets such as Computers or Laptops with Wi-Fi connection, LCD Projectors, interactive whiteboards etc to impart 21 st century skills .

7. WHAT IS The Differences Between Teaching Methods and TEACHING Strategies 

8. The Differences Between Teaching Methods and Strategies  1. Teaching methods focus on the content of the lesson, while strategies emphasize how the content can be used in order to achieve specific goals. 2. Teaching methods often rely on lectures or group presentations, while strategies involve more hands-on activities or individualized instruction. 4. Teaching methods often rely on textbooks and other written materials, while strategies often incorporate interactive activities and simulations into the lesson plan . 3. Teaching methods usually prescribe a set sequence of steps that must be followed, while strategies allow for greater flexibility in how materials are approached .

9. The Differences Between Teaching Methods and Strategies  5. Teaching methods require students to memorize facts and figures, while strategies encourage interaction with the information. 6. Teaching methods rely heavily on direct instruction, while strategies utilize a more interactive approach to teaching. 8. Teaching methods often rely on teachers to “teach the teacher”, while strategies encourage students to “teach themselves.” 7. Teaching methods tend to be more formal and require students to follow directions and complete assignments as directed, while strategies encourage creativity and reflection.

10. The Importance of Teaching Strategies

11. Twenty-First-Century Learning SKILLS 21 st - century learning skills also referred to as “Four Cs” of 21 st - century learning include: critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. S tudents need seven survival skills in the 21 st century which include: critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration and leadership, agility (liveliness) and adaptability, initiative and entrepreneurialism, effective oral and written communication, accessing and analyzing information, curiosity and imagination. Today’s educators need to use 21 st century teaching strategies to equip students with these skills that will help them live in this ever-changing technological world.

13. Effective Instructional Strategies for Twenty-First Century Digital Learning Digital learning is a concept used to refer to a set of technology-mediated techniques that is applied to assist student learning, tutoring, instruction, and assessment. Technology-mediated technique is any instruction that is aided in some way by technology. e.g distance learning, blended learning, autonomous out of class learning with mobile devices, online learning, e.t.c . Initially labeled as electronic learning (or e-learning), digital learning (i.e., d-learning) is a broad concept that covers e-learning as well as mobile learning (i.e., m-learning ) .

14. Digital Learning cont. Digital learning is not only a supplement to face-to-face education but can also be used as an alternative means of education. Technology-mediated strategies have been found to be effective in skill acquisition. Technology devices such as wireless laptops, electronics decision boards, handheld computing devices, video devices, computer assisted problem-solving systems, electronic video games and web-based-mediated instructional systems have been found to enhance learning.

15. Flipped Classroom  Flipped Classroom is a pedagogical approach in which the traditional elements of the lesson taught by the teacher are reversed – the primary educational materials are studied by the students at home and, then, worked on in the classroom. The main objective of this methodology is to optimize time in class by dedicating it, for example, to meet the special needs of each individual student, develop cooperative projects or work on specific tasks. This is a popularly accepted method which has also proven to be productive and incredibly efficient for the development of the students.

16. Gamification Classroom gamification is a game-based learning. it  is an effective way to take a child’s love for play and turn it into a love of learning. The benefits are huge: gamification can help students focus and build essential skills. gamification can keep students motivated and engaged in the classroom In order to effectively use gamification techniques in your classroom, start with your students: What do they like? Where are their learning needs? Are there any notable behaviour issues? Other tips include: Structure problems effectively : Gamification works best when surrounded by clear rules and expectations. Make sure progress is visible:  If students can’t see how far they’ve come, they might get frustrated. Create a manual:  Make a resource for students that explains the games, rules, and scoring system .

17. Project-based learning PBL allows students to acquire key knowledge and skills through the development of projects that respond to real-life problems . The teaching based on projects or integrated tasks, is today the best didactic guarantee for an effective development of key skills while also acquiring the knowledge of the curriculum’s content . Starting from a concrete problem, instead of the traditional theoretical and abstract model, sees notable improvements in students’ ability to retain knowledge as well as the opportunity to develop complex competencies such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration or the problem solving.  Project-based learning allows students to be fully immersed in an authentic and nuanced problem that has real-life implications. Project-based learning is open-ended, and allows students engaged in group work to find their own way to the solution. It doesn’t look the same in every classroom -- class size, student ability and learning styles play a large role in shaping the process. While proponents point to increased engagement, knowledge retention and improved critical thinking, there are also significant criticisms: Project-based learning can be too focused on product creation instead of learning, and assessment is often subjective .

18. C ooperative Learning “Stronger together”. This concept in a simple way cooperative learning, a methodology that teachers use to group students together and, thus, impact on learning in a positive way . The proponents of this model theorize that working in a group improves the attention, involvement and acquisition of knowledge by students . The final goal is always group-oriented and will be achieved if each of the members successfully perform their tasks . The main characteristic is that it is structured based on the formation of groups of 3-6 people, where each member has a specific role and to reach the objectives it is necessary to interact and work in a coordinated manner . In a cooperative learning context, the final goal is always common and will be achieved if each of the members successfully performs their tasks. On the other hand, individual learning has students focusing on achieving their objectives without having to depend on the rest of their classmates .

19. Peer teaching In this strategy, students teach their peers Proponents have been pointing to the advantages of peer teaching since the 18th century. It's one of many teaching strategies that helps develop reasoning and critical thinking skills, and it improved self-esteem and interpersonal skills. It can be difficult, however, to bring it to the classroom -- students might have different proficiency levels or be hesitant about teaching their peers, and it can lead to confidentiality issues about which students are struggling. Some best practices for peer teaching include: Explaining to students how to give feedback Providing written prompts to guide discussion Running class wide peer editing sessions

20. Inquiry-based learning In the inquiry-based learning classroom, teachers are responsible for guiding students through their questions — past curiosity and into critical thinking and understanding. There are 4 main types of inquiry-based learning: Confirmation inquiry : Students are given a question along with a way to answer it Structured inquiry:  Students are given an open question and investigation method Guided inquiry:  Students work from an open question to design investigation methods Open inquiry:  Students develop original questions that they answer through their own methods. S tudents who use inquiry-based learning are more likely to retain information from the activity and curriculum content in general.

21. Problem-based learning   Problem-Based Learning(PBL) is a cyclic learning process composed of many different stages, starting with asking questions and acquiring knowledge that, in turn, leads to more questions in a growing complexity cycle. It is a student- centred pedagogy that puts students in groups to solve open-ended problems together. This teaching strategy has its advantages and disadvantages: Advantages The development of critical thinking and creative skills The improvement of problem solving abilities Increased student motivation Better knowledge sharing in challenging situations Improve teamwork skills

22. Problem-based learning CONT. Disadvantages Potentially poor test results Student unpreparedness Teacher unpreparedness Assessment is time-consuming Might not be relevant/applicable

23. Blended learning Blended learning  combines online learning with traditional classroom instruction. It’s a valuable tool to use in differentiation teaching strategies, and can help students learn tailored content at their own pace. There are a number of different ways to bring blended learning to your classroom, but some common methods include: implementing learning stations and putting certain lessons online in part or entirely. With many classrooms supporting hybrid learning environments in the last two years, blended learning has become a more common teaching strategy across classrooms.

24. Design Thinking Design Thinking (DT) applied stems from industrial designers and their unique method to solve problems and satisfy the needs of their clients . Applied to education, this model makes possible to identify with greater accuracy the individual problems of each student and generate in their educational experience the creation and innovation towards the satisfaction of others, which then becomes symbiotic . Design Thinking is a five steps procedures to come up with meaningful ideas to solve real-life problems for a particular set of people. The steps are: Empathize Define the problem Ideate (come up with ideas on how to solve the problem) Prototype (create a prototype of the solution) Test your prototype

25. Thinking-Based Learning The goal of  Thinking-Based Learning (TBL ) is  developing  thinking skills beyond memorization  and, in doing so, developing effective thinking on part of the students. Teach them to contextualize, analyze, relate, argue… In short, convert information into knowledge. Under the thinking-based learning approach, the students are offered with a set of questions which will challenge their memory level or similar to the design thinking method, making them focus more on the analytical and logical approach to face the problem. The solutions will be practical, unique, customized to the conditions and something which is totally not related to the textbook solutions. 

26. Interdisciplinary teaching Use  interdisciplinary teaching  strategies to encourage students to develop creative and critical thinking skills — and draw information from a number of different academic disciplines — as they solve real-world problems. In your classroom, interdisciplinary teaching could involve collaboration with other teachers, or asking your students to make connections between different subjects. Try these activities to get your class started: News analysis:  Play a news clip or hand out an article that discusses a local, national or international topic. Ask students to solve a related question using skills they’ve learned in other classes. All About Weather:  Look at the impact of weather and climate on the labour, agriculture and customs of other societies. This gives students a chance to learn about different cultures from a scientific and social standpoint. Historical Pen Pals:  Combine creative writing and history by having students take on the role of a historical figure and write to classmates about challenges her or she faced. Give students a variety of sources to improve their research skills at the same time.

27. Growth Mindset Growth Mindset focuses on helping students see the value of effort, persistence and risk in their learning environment, and pushes them to try new things and learn new concepts. Since growth mindset is a relatively new teaching strategy, some teachers might struggle to use it effectively. Here are some best practices: Give positive feedback:  Instead of rewarding intellect, praise students when they try new methods and make plans. Promote a diverse classroom:  When diversity is modelled for students, they’re more likely to embrace different perspectives in their future learning goals. Encourage goal-based journaling:  Ask students set goals and reflect on their progress. Have goals follow the SMART method ( S pecific,  M easurable,  A ttainable,  R ealistic and  T ime-Based) for maximum effect.

28. CONCLUSION 21 st century Teaching strategies are important for teachers because they help create a successful learning environment for all students. As a teacher, you must make sure you use teaching strategies that meet the needs of your students to help them learn effectively . In order to do this, you must first reflect on your own teaching practices and those that you observe in other teachers. Second , you should practice different strategies with students so that you can gauge their effectiveness. Third , you should use your observations of the effectiveness of different strategies with students to develop new ones that will be more effective. Finally , you should share these new ideas with other teachers so that they can learn from your experiences.
