Description

Within the scope of 21st-century education, skills (Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking) development has become increasingly popular among educators in recent years. Schools now strive to educate their students to acquire competencies like critical thinking, clear communication, collaborative practices and creative deeds. Teachers are expected to be skilful, broad-minded and reflective. All teachers need to know what kind of teachers they are and how well they do in their profession. Reflective teaching is thinking about your education and thinking about how you can improve your activities to achieve better results.

If teachers are trained in reflective teaching, they can easily look upon their classroom practices and see how they are doing on the 21st-century skills development. They can reflect on the activities that do not work and try to replace them with more effective ones. The course provides a learning environment that enriches the participants’ theoretical and practical knowledge on developing 21st-century skills and helps them reflect upon their classroom practices. Demonstration of sample cases will be a good resource for them before they start to work in groups. The workshops will provide them with the ground for practising reflection on 21st-century skills development activities in their own classes. Collaboration and shared experience during the course will lead to learner education on the acquisition of competencies like critical thinking, clear communication, collaborative practices and creativity.
