PROJECT
Development of 21st Century Skills through Education
I have already partially developed beginner level course under the OE4BW project 2019. In this course I have covered only learning and innovation skills. Now I want to develop remaining part of course and cover all the three (Learning and innovation skills, life skills and media literacy skills) sets of 21st century skills in one advance level course.
This course will explain the nature of 21st century skills. It also explores how teachers can recognize these skills in students, how the level of skill of a learner can be assessed, and then how learners can be facilitating to develop their skill.
The approach to teaching and assessment in this course derives from the application of a developmental, evidence-based, clinical approach to teaching practice. The course provides a mix of theory and practice, thinking and doing, and opportunities to share ideas, experience and resources with other participants through discussion forum.
In this course learner will work through detailed scenario-based examples of 21st century skills. In each scenario-based example, learner will explore how to understand the nature of each skill from a teaching perspective, how to teach it, and how to assess it.
In this course I have plan to include text articles, video lectures, concept maps etc. along with the theoretical content reflection activities, quizzes, collaborative activities and discussion forums will included.
