ABSTRACT
This study is to determine the 21st Century skills is most likely to be applied here in Saint
Augustine Academy. This study gives importance to the teachers on how they teach students
using the 7c’s which are the creativity, collaboration, cross cultural skills, communication, life
and career skills, computer literacy, and critical thinking. The research design used in this study
is descriptive design. The researchers provided them with researcher-made questionnaires. The
study was held at St. Augustine Academy of Bayawan, Inc. Base on the researchers’ verbal
planning & organizing are needed by fresh graduated employers. But according to Will Archer
and Jess Davison communication skills is the most important skill needed by employers, yet
many employers are dissatisfied that graduates can express themselves effectively. Team
working skills are also considered essential by most of the employers. Result shows that
collaboration of students has the lowest weighted mean in the school but career and self-reliance

CHAPTER I
Introduction
All educators want to help their students succeed in life. One of the most popular terms in
contemporary education is academic rigor. School leaders from across the United States use the
phrase to signal that they're holding all teachers and students accountable to unwavering
rigorous curriculum is to challenge students to reach expectations outside their comfort zones.
And also becomes the way schools justify very rigid and hyper-structured approaches to teaching
and learning. If a particular approach helps a significant number of students in one school or
district meet an academically rigorous standard, we often assume that it can help all students
across a wide array of schools. School leaders may fail to see that the results we get from
students in some schools are often more reflective of the relationships those students have with
their schools and teachers than of the effectiveness of a particular approach to teaching. Good
relationships between teachers and students are more likely to arise in schools in which teachers
and students share a similar culture. The teaching approach that results simply reflects what
works for both parties. In schools in which teachers and students don't share similar cultures,
those relationships may arise less frequently because the teaching approach is often culturally
What teachers do not realize in our research is that when we implement the 7 C’s, we do
not have to add anything to the class. We have all we need. The change is in our approach, our

attitude, our mindset, in the questions we ask, and most of all, how we ask certain questions. We
do not need students to answer questions, but prepare them to ask the essential questions. This
prepares them more for their future than counting on content-based classes where students are
supposed to raise their hands in order to answer the teacher’s inquiries. Build on students’
If we are able to spice up our classes by having a little more student agency and less
teacher-centeredness, designing activities so they include the seven points mentioned above,
teachers will spend less time having to worry about engaging and motivating students. Much has
to be changed regarding what we are doing in the classroom. Our roles have changed. Instead of
demanding certain attitudes from students, they should be able to decide how they want to learn.
Our role is to guide them along the way. The education system is shifting, and as we all know,
when things shift, things shake. Changes will always cause clashes and meet up with big
resistances.
Framework for 21st Century Learning was developed with input from teachers, education
experts, and business leaders to define and illustrate the skills and knowledge students need to
succeed in work, life and citizenship, as well as the support systems necessary for 21st century
learning outcomes. It has been used by thousands of educators and hundreds of schools in the
U.S. and abroad to put 21st century skills at the center of learning. The elements described in this
section as “21st century student outcomes” (represented by the rainbow) are the skills,
knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work and life in the 21st century.

CHAPTER II
The 21st century skills refers to a set of knowledge, skills, work habits, and especially the
character traits that are believed by the educators, school reformers, college professors,
and others to become successful in today's world, mainly in collegiate programs and
contemporary careers and workplaces. The 21st century skills can be applied in all academic
subjects, and in all educational, career, and civic settings to a student's life. Educators often warn
that our children need to improve the 21st century skills. Without these skills, they will not be
able to successfully participate in the global economy. From the studies of the World Economic
Forum 2017 it says that the gap between the skills that people learn and the skills people need is
to become more comprehensible, and to fully equip the students with the knowledge they need to
grow, (P21,2016)
This study gives insight about the implementation of the 21st century skills in the teaching
curriculum in St. Augustine Academy, there’s a lot of study on the performances of the high
school students. While the specific skills deemed to be “21st century skills” may be defined,
19
Running Head: 21st CENTURY SKILLS
categorized, and determined differently from person to person, place to place, or school to
school, the term does reflect a general—if somewhat loose and shifting—consensus. While many
different individuals and organizations have proposed countless definitions of the 21st century
skills, and most states have adopted this learning standards or address cross-disciplinary skills,
there are three popular types if models that can serve to illustrate the concept and its application
Learning Frameworks: The P21 Framework found that it shows these skills allow the students to
be better prepared for today’s highly collaborative, innovation-focused workforce. For this
reason, Student outcome in the P21 Framework are often described in terms of the future impact
they will have for students when they seek employment. The P21 Framework basis comes from a
belief that children need the proper opportunities and avenues to gain the skills for careers. The
coalition formed in an attempt to better prepare children for the challenges of the modern
working world, and that the P21 Framework is used to motivate the students in desire for their
collage and career-oriented education. The skills that the P21 lists are considered crucial for
success in the workplace by all sectors. The foundation believes that work environment is more
complex in today’s society, so the students must be able to integrate the traditional academic
core with interdisciplinary skills that are more reflective of those complexities. They will gain
these skills by integrating core content and interdisciplinary themes, and engaging in activities
that promote Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration. Many of the
opportunities for integrating core knowledge and critical thinking skills from technological
literacy and related areas like media literacy. These literacies are translated into a list of
competencies that students should master by the time they leave school.

Creativity is the ability to think and to act in different ways that are new and novel. There
are two kinds of creativity, innovation and invention. Innovation is to think creatively on
something that already exists (e.g., tape recorder, Walkman, and CD player are examples of
creating something that did not exist before (e.g. phonograph). An example of a business
illustrates the difference clearly. When a team bases its plans on the way the team has operated in
the past, they are open only to innovation, such as increasing the efficiency. On the other hand, a
team that is inventive will ask itself: How can we create a different way to operate, on the one
that will produce a different what of doing such business? And for that we are going to
experimenting, you don't know the outcome. You can only guess. Mostly, experimentation leads
to a surprise. This is the power of creativity. Organizations today need more invention that
innovation. This means that people in the organizations need to release their creativity in ways
that are quite different from the method tried-and-true from the past. It also means that
organizations need to be open to more experimentation to find out what works and what doesn't,

The 21st century learning skills are often called the 4 C’s: critical thinking, creative
thinking, communicating, and collaborating. These skills help students learn, and so they are

such as analysis, synthesis, problem recognition, problem solving, inference, and evaluation

thinking is the ability to think about one’s thinking in such a way as to recognize its strength and
In order to achieve critical thinking you need to reason effectively, use system thinking,
make judgments and decisions, and implement innovation. Reason effectively is to have various
types of reasoning (inductive, deductive, etc.) which are fitting for the situation. Use system
thinking, in using system thinking you need to analyze and evaluate how the parts of a whole
interact with each other in order to produce overall outcome in complex system. Make judgment

evidence, arguments, claims and beliefs, analyze and evaluate major alternative point of view,
synthesize and make connection between information and arguments, interpret information and
draw conclusions based on the best analysis and to reflect critically on learning experiences and
make a tangible and useful contribution to the field in which the innovation will occur,
(P21_Framework, 2015).
What is Communication?
22
Running Head: 21st CENTURY SKILLS
Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place to another.
Communication may be vocally (through voice), writing (printed or digital media such as books,
magazines, websites or emails), visually (logos, maps, charts or graphs) or non-verbally (body
language, gestures and the tone and pitch of voice), (SkillsYouNeed, 2011).
Verbal Communication
Verbal communications are skills that are very important and must be developed,
straightforward language that is neither too flowery nor too simple. Higher levels of
communication competencies deal with high persuasive speaking and for the management level
employees and those in marketing position within a company. Employees can benefit from
Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal communication is much difficult for many people because it consists of body
languages and cues that give off while listening to someone else speak. Those in customer
head, inclining towards the speaker and showing open body (shoulder back, arms uncrossed) lets
the speaker know that you are listening to what they are saying.
Written Communication
23
Running Head: 21st CENTURY SKILLS
One often overlooked area of communication is the written word. Even the most basic
company position requires employees to have written communication skills. Proper spelling,
grammar usage and professional way of imparting information are important competencies to be
mastered. Having poorly worded, misspelled or full of errors detracts your written
communication from the overall message that is being imparted. Written communication is even
more vital when dealing with the public. People judge others by the way they write and it is
Within these three main types of communication lies a subset of styles and individual
competencies. A person may be very skilled at verbal communication, but lacks in written
communication skills. It takes time to develop all three skills equally. This style of
communication is also very important. Some communicators are upbeat and inspirational, while
others are more quiet and subdued. This style of communication should match the tone of the
‘Soft’ skills including communication skills and team working are important capabilities
sought among new graduates, with over 85% of employers regarding these as important. These
findings are not new; many similar surveys on graduate employability highlight some of the
issues. Even if one goes back to the seminal 1995 report by the Association of Graduate
Recruiters (AGR), we will find that employers consider these skills to be important. More recent
reports by the CBI, the AGR and the NCWE (National Council for Work Experience) find
Communicate Clearly
You need to articulate clear thoughts and ideas effectively using oral, written and
nonverbal communication skills in different variety of forms and contexts, Listening effectively
to decipher meaning, including knowledge, values, attitudes and intentions, use communication
for a range of purposes (e.g. to inform, instruct, motivate and persuade), utilize multiple media
and technologies, and know how to judge their effectiveness a priority and as well as an
multi-lingual)(P21.org, 2015).
Collaboration is the act of working together for a clearer goal. The Partnership for 21st
Century Skills says that mastering collaboration skills requires the ability to work effectively
with teamwork. It also requires the ability to "be helpful and make necessary compromises to
complicated to learn because they are actually the people’s skills. Learning these skills takes
guided practice and good quality feedback. Teacher's shouldn't expect their students to work
together effectively without explicitly teaching and modeling collaboration skills. These skills
include: active listening, respect, manner, positive attitude, focus, and social awareness.
Simply telling students to work together won't lead to productive collaboration. Teachers
should develop activities and projects so that students have reasons to collaborate. Teachers must
teach students how to be good group members through modeling, role playing, discussion, and
facilitating.
25
Running Head: 21st CENTURY SKILLS
Collaboration can be taught and can be learned by: assigning clear responsibilities,
conducting group and self-evaluations, and designing rubric in order to measure the process and
product,(learning-in-hand,2015)
Literacy has referred to the ability to read and write. Today, we get most of our
information through media technologies. The ability to be able to read many types of media has
become an essential skill in the 21st Century. Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze,
evaluate, and create media. Media literate and adults are better able to understand the complex
messages we receive from television, radio, Internet, newspapers, magazines, books, billboards,
video games, music, and all other forms of media. Media literacy is included in the educational
standards of every state in language arts, social studies, health, science, and other subjects.
Many educators have discovered that media literacy is an effective way on engaging critical
thinking skills to a wide range of issues. Media Literacy education comes from a media justice
framework. Media Justice speaks to the need to go beyond creating greater access to the same
old media structure. Media Justice takes into account history, culture, privilege, and power. We
need new relationships with media and a new vision for its access, and structure. Media Justice
understands that this will require new policies, new systems that treat their communities as more
than markets. Media literacy skills can help youth and adults: develop critical thinking skills,
Understand how media messages shape our culture and society, identify target marketing
strategies, recognize what the media maker wants us to believe or do, name the techniques of
persuasion used, recognize bias, spin, misinformation, and lies, discover the parts of the story
26
Running Head: 21st CENTURY SKILLS
that are not being told, evaluate media messages based on our own experiences, skills, beliefs,
and values, create and distribute our own media messages, advocate for media justice.
Information Literacy
information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed
of rapid technological change and proliferating information resources. Because of the escalating
complexity of this environment, individuals are faced with diverse, abundant information choices
in their academic studies, in the workplace, and in their personal lives. Information is available
through libraries, community resources, special interest organizations, media, and the Internet
and increasingly, information comes to individuals in unfiltered formats, raising questions about
its authenticity, validity, and reliability. Information literacy is available through multiple media,
including graphical, aural, and textual, and these pose new challenges for individuals in
evaluating and understanding it. The uncertain quality and expanding quantity of information
pose large challenges for society. The sheer abundance of information will not create itself more
effectively.
Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines,
to all learning environments, and to all levels of education. It enables learners to master content
and extend their investigations, become more self-directed, and assume greater control over their
own learning. An information literate individual is able to: determine the extent of information

needed, access the needed information effectively and efficiently, evaluate information and its
sources critically, incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base, use information
effectively to accomplish a specific purpose, and to understand the economic, legal, and social
issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally.
Conceptual Framework

responses of the students shows the lowest in the insight Indicator number 2 (Student’s adapt
effectively to the environment and have the ability to understand complex ideas). Which had the
lowest weighted mean of 3.7 with the verbal description of Agree. Correspondingly, this citing

from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the
obstacles by taking thought. On the other hand, indicator number 1 (The Students show great
improvement in social competence and earned higher grades) which had the highest weighted
mean of 3.88 with the verbal description of Strongly Agree. According to Durlak Weissberg
(2010), educators and students process and respond to emotions influences children’s education
in ways that affect their social, emotional, and cognitive development. A recent meta- analysis of
research on programs focused on social and emotional learning (SEL) shows a systematic
process for promoting students’ social and emotional development is the common element
among schools that report an increase in academic success, improved quality of relationships

The Table 5 shows results based on Collaboration, Table 5 above points out that the
responses of the students laid lowest in the insight Indicator number 2 (I collaborate with other

students from different year levels especially when having schools activities.) which had the
lowest weighted mean of 3.5 with the verbal description of Moderately Agree. Correspondingly,
Karl A. Smith (2016) suggests it is probably best not to group students strictly by ability level, as
some diversity generally fosters increased learning among the entire group. In addition, grouping
by past performance is difficult because successful collaboration requires different skills from
successful individual projects; you may find that students who earn high marks on individual
assignments are not the most effective group members in your class. On the other hand, indicator
number 3(I am able to collaborate with the people around me in doing school people works.)
which had the highest weighted mean of 3.9 with the verbal description of Moderately Agree.
According to Karl A. Smith (2016) Students learn to take responsibility for monitoring,
activities are critical for students to learn today, and they are much better learned within a group
The Table 6 shows the results based on Cross-cultural Understanding, Table 6 above
points out that the responses of the students laid lowest in the insight Indicator number 2 (I
correct misunderstood situation or incidences due to cultural differences.) which had the lowest
weighted mean of 3.6 with the verbal description of Moderately Agree. Correspondingly, Crystal
David (2015) suggest that to interrupt them, there are numerous verbal and nonverbal cues,
almost like a dance, that are exchanged between speakers that let people know when their turn
will begin or end. Conversations do not always neatly progress from beginning to end with
shared understanding along the way. There is a back and forth that is often verbally managed
through rephrasing and clarification and that without following such social conventions might
indicate to the other person that you were not listening or are simply rude. On the other hand,
indicator number 5 (I am aware that miscommunication may occur thus, any to choose my words
and actions carefully.) which had the highest weighted mean of 4.2 with the verbal description of
Strongly Agree. According to Crystal David(2015), we have learned social norms and
internalized them to such an extent that we do not often consciously enact them. Instead, we rely
on routines and roles (as determined by social forces) to help us proceed with verbal interaction,
Table 7. Communication
The Table 7 shows the 21st Century Skills in the Learning and Teaching Experience of
Students in St. Augustine Academy of Bayawan Inc. Based on Communication, Table 7 above
points out that the responses of the students laid lowest in the insight indicator number 5 (I can
finish projects, performance tasks, and homeworks on time.) which had the lowest weighted
mean (Wx) of 3.43 with the verbal description of Moderately Agree. Correspondingly, this citing
explains that Bella Williams (2014) suggest that discussions with others and clarifying doubts
will put a demand on their time and that the insufficient knowledge about the assignment
(questions and/or solutions) is another cause assuming one understands what is asked, answering
might take more time due to confusion about the scope and relevance. On the other hand,
indicator number 2 (I have my own study habits and my own strategies in preparing for exams)
which had the highest weighted mean (Wx) of 4 with the verbal description of Strongly Agree.
According to Marcus Crede and Nathan R. Kuncel (2014), measures of study behaviors, also
called study skills, strategies, or techniques, can serve as diagnostic tools to help instructors
identify students in need of additional help and can also provide a better awareness of a student’s
strengths and weaknesses and, correspondingly, ways to optimize his or her learning.
The Table 8 shows the results based on Computing/ ICT Literacy Table 8 above points
out that the responses of the students laid lowest in the insight Indicator number 5 (I can finish
projects, performance tasks, and homework’s on time.) which had the lowest weighted mean of
3.43 with the verbal description of Moderately Agree. Correspondingly, Bella Williams(2014)
suggest that discussions with others and clarifying doubts will put a demand on their time and
that the insufficient knowledge about the assignment (questions and/or solutions) is another
cause assuming one understands what is asked, answering might take more time due to confusion
about the scope and relevance. On the other hand, indicator number 3 (I have my own study
habits and my own strategies in preparing for exams). Which had the highest weighted mean of
4.12 with the verbal description of Strongly Agree. According to Mark and Howard (2009) are of
the opinion that the most common challenge to the success of students in all ramifications is a
lack of effective or positive (good) study habit. They further maintain that if students can
develop a good study habit and with good discipline, they are bound to perform remarkably well
The Table 9 shows the results based on Career and Self-reliance, Table 9 above points out that
the responses of the students laid lowest in the insight Indicator number 3 (I am always confident
on myself.) which had the lowest weighted mean of 3.6 with the verbal description of Agree.
those learning differences go unrecognized by teachers need to be encourages to take risks, and
Cristine Freeman(2015) suggest that the students need to express their creativity in classroom
assignments and invest in the work they produce at school and more likely to be optimistic and
motivated and have a “can do” rather than a “can’t do” attitude to classroom learning and
education. On the other hand, low self-esteem can affect the confidence and motivation
necessary for problem solving and dampen interest in new experiences. On the other hand,
indicator number 1 (I always think of my future.) which had the highest weighted mean of 4.6
with the verbal description of Strongly Agree. According to Miranda Marcus(2015) that it is
important for the Junior and Senior high school students to learn about every possible career that
interests them (via internet, or classes, or shadow days)and to keep their options open for as long
as possible. That means preparing as if you will pursue the thing you are interested in doing that
Table 10 explains the summary 21st Century Skills in the Learning and Teaching
Experience of Students in St. Augustine Academy of Bayawan Inc. It shows the Indicator 3
(Collaboration) got the lowest weighted mean (Wx) of 3.71 with the verbal description of
Moderately Agree. This result explains that the students can’t learn from people who have a
different mindset from them and usually the group doesn't work well together or they stay in the
land of nice where they don't offer real, honest feedback to everyone and many times when it
doesn't work, and we need not blame collaboration for it. We need to look at the process and the
people who are involved, because that is where the issue may lie. On the other hand the Indicator
7 (Career and Self-reliance) got the highest weighted mean of 4.02 with the verbal description of
Strongly Agree. This result explains that the personal responsibility dimension is important
because it fosters a feeling of competence and control over one’s life. It helps the students
cultivate their own inner resources to solve problems. Taking personal responsibility also
encourages active thinking about what kind of work would be most satisfying, rather than just

Based on the researchers they found out that collaboration has the lowest weighted mean
while career and self-reliance has the highest weighted mean. We have observed that in
collaboration student here in Saint Augustine Academy doesn’t work efficiently together because
most of the students are always playing around and not participating in group activities. And
what we have also observe that most of the students in Saint Augustine Academy completely
focuses in their career for they work hard and strive for their future as a student which they have
the ability to navigate the complex of life and work environmentally in global competitive
information and require the students to pay rigorous attention in developing their life and this
Conclusion
3. The junior & senior high school students of St. Augustine Academy have good career and
self- reliance but lacking of collaborative team building activities. According to Richard
Burr (2011) the administration should enhance school programs and more opportunities
within the activity to develop leadership, decision making, trust building, communication,
Recommendations
54
Running Head: 21st CENTURY SKILLS
Based on the findings, the researchers recommend that the administration, teachers,
students, researchers, and future researchers should enhance the collaboration of students
because in what we have observed that here in Saint Augustine Academy students don’t function
properly in team building activities. According to the researchers it is important that the school
should help the educators to collaborate with each other, because in the 7c’s collaboration is one
important part in students’ life since it helps students unite with each other and share ideas and
create a strong bond to the society. Enhancing collaboration is a very big deal to the students and
the school.
Administration – they should help the school provide more critical program information such as
field trips, student’s eligibility in order to enable certifying officials, financial aid officials, and
business office administrators to effectively administrate the program and deliver benefits.
Teachers – they should allow the students to benefit from healthy exchange of ideas in a setting
Students – collaboration helps the students understand the benefits and what they will achieve
through team building activities. It also helps the students give time and opportunities within the
activity to develop leadership, decision making, trust building, communication, and conflict
management skills.
Researchers – collaboration is strictly applied during research because it really needs teamwork
and a lot of brain storming. It helps researchers communicate, collaborate, and share ideas.
Future Researchers – they should enhance collaboration because research needs teamwork and
