21st Century Skills Development and Senior High School Program Exit Points
Keywords:
K-12 Enhanced BEC, 21st Century Skills, Exit pointsAbstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the extent of 21st Century skills development among Senior High students. Identified skills were used as a descriptor/indicator showing the Department of Education is on the right track in preparing the student towards a successful future. Themes were identified to shed light on: 1. Program for Skill Development, 2. Instructional Framework for 21st Century Learning, 3. Skills Introduction and Integration within Curriculum, 4. Program Integration Assessment Findings reveal the significant difference in the extent of skills development of the participants when grouped according to age and none according to sex and track. Significant correlation was revealed between the participant’s extent of skills development and the program exit points of participants. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, T-test and Chi-square were used to measure the variables. Further, the majority of the senior high school graduating students were geared towards pursuing their studies to higher education (Colegio). Thus, the findings of the study served as the basis for the researcher to improve, update or enhance the curricula of the senior high school program to make this more responsive to the needs of the fast changing world. Further, it is recommended that the Senior High School Curriculum be revisited and identify the extent to which the 21st Century Skills are integrated in the subjects taught.
