21st Century learning skills
Teachers look to provide opportunities for students to learn and use 21st Century learning skills. We have integrated the 21st Century Learning skills below with the General Capabilities from the Australian Curriculum. The skills are:
- Collaboration – students work towards interdependent collaboration where each member of the team has responsibility for their own contribution towards providing a team solution.
- Knowledge construction – students work towards generating ideas and understandings that are new to them through interpretation, analysis, synthesis, or evaluation.
- Self–regulation – students are aware of learning goals and success criteria and work towards planning and monitoring their own work, and improve by incorporating feedback.
- Real–world problem–solving and innovation – students develop a successful solution to a real-world problem and implement the solution in the real world.
- Use of ICT for learning – students work towards creating a digital product that can be utilised by a specific audience.
- Skilled communication – students work towards extended or multi-modal communication designed with a particular audience in mind.
