Such as, international education, global capitalism, spread of culture and media, trade and work. Thus, it’s crucial to interpret the term of Globalization, which becomes a major backdrop of other phenomenon, including high education. Certainly, higher education provides prerequisite skills and higher life opportunities to people. However, the education system today is facing some challenges. There is over-education and over- supply of educational institution and the change of the global labour market. Higher education provides more chances for people to obtaining jobs. People who graduated from university are highly employable due to their wealth knowledge, creativity and ability of solving problems. According to the research of Yue et al. (2004) ‘The level of education level has a significantly positive impact on successful job seeking. The higher the education level, the greater the probability of success.’ Which indicated that higher education make a positive effective to people in job seeking as well as working in a favorable position. The reputation of the higher education institution also has a significant and positive impact on employment.

...Framework for 21st Century Learning The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has developed a vision for student success in the new global economy. 21st Century Student Outcomes and Support Systems 21ST CENTURY STUDENT OUTCOMES To help practitioners integrate skills into the teaching of core academic subjects, the Partnership has developed a unified, collective vision for learning known as the Framework for 21st Century Learning. This Framework describes the skills, knowledge and expertise students must master to succeed in work and life; it is a blend of content knowledge, specific skills, expertise and literacies. Every 21st century skills implementation requires the development of core academic subject knowledge and understanding among all students. Those who can think critically and communicate effectively must build on a base of core academic subject knowledge. Within the context of core knowledge instruction, students must also learn the essential skills for success in today’s world, such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. When a school or district builds on this foundation, combining the entire Framework with the necessary support systems—standards, assessments, curriculum and instruction, professional development and learning environments—students are more engaged in the learning process and graduate better prepared to thrive in today’s global economy.

...TEACHING IN THE 21ST CENTURY Education has always been the tool for economic and development, for eradicating poverty, for survival and for the change. Facing the 21st century, education is quite challenging knowing that it should ensure and prepare students to be lifelong learners. Today education is no longer restricted to certain aspects there are linkages of one subject to another. Education now uses information from the internet and computers unlike years ago when only teachers and textbook were the primary source of knowledge and information. At present, education aims to expose students to different global issues and concerns. It also opens the idea that learning does not only happen within the four corners of the classroom. It can happen anywhere and anytime with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace. In the 21st century education student centered activities are given emphasis. Compared to the traditional way of teaching where the teacher do the chalk and talk and students were just mere listeners and audience. Another thing is 21st century education focus on teaching topics that will enable the learners apply what they learn to real life. “Given the challenges facing society, teachers are being required to take on new roles and must have the knowledge, confidence and resources needed to fulfil legitimate expectations of the community. Teachers must also learn throughout life and develop new skills if they are...

...and information in the new economy creates space for more new firms to emerge, and exerts pressures on existing companies to hire employees with higher level skills in order to compete successfully. The increased demand for a highly skilled workforce has contributed to the rising importance of obtaining a college education. However, recent studies indicate that newly hired college graduates do not excel in these higher-level knowledge and information based skills at the level that employers desire. Entrepreneurs have also indicated that the shortage of highly skilled workers inhibits the growth and development of new entrepreneurial firms. In response to this there have been multiple calls for educators at all levels to recognize the challenges and opportunities in today’s economy and to ensure that students develop the “21st century” knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) they need. A closer look at these 21st century KSAs alongside research and data on entrepreneurial competencies reveals a meaningful overlap between the two. This overlap can be developed into a useful heuristic to determine appropriate outcomes for assessment of undergraduate entrepreneurship programs. Sample outcomes and program assessment processes are illustrated and discussed. INTRODUCTION As the “new” economy of the 21st century continues to develop around knowledge, service, and information based activities, a company’s ability to create and commercialize knowledge has become tantamount...

The article states that, “The key to successful transition planning and instruction is transition assessment.” I believe this is where a majority of the special education teachers lack when it comes to preparing to transition their students. In the article, it talks about the demands of the 21st-century workforce and how it requires local education agencies to prepare students with disabilities for college and career readiness by providing instruction and services to assist youth in attaining positive post school outcomes. The transition assessment process provides guidance for using transition assessments to guide instruction and determine appropriate services for youth with disabilities.

It was astounding. After the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS or KBAT) implemented in mostly questions in SPM, I am positively sure the 21st Century Teaching and Learning is capturing my attention as it is never in my train of thoughts (). I get hooked on to it and it overwhelms me to acknowledge further what have brought Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia to implement this educational transformation via Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia (PPPM) 2013 - 2025.

...Universities and colleges have responded to this demand previously by providing more nurses, for example more pathways were created to allow more people to become registered nurses (RNs) either as BSN, ADN or the more recently introduced program that allows students who already have baccalaureate degree in another field to become nurses with bachelor’s or masters degree in nursing. The IOM report indicates that our 20th century nursing educations are not sufficient and falls short of 21st century health needs. It is clear by all accounts that patients needs and environment of which nurses’ practice are continuously becoming more complex, this condition require nurse to sharpen their competencies to deliver high-quality care. This calls for different approach to nursing education and training. The report calls for new training that focuses on transforming Practice, Transforming Education, and Transforming Leadership. Based on the current scope of nursing practice, we can induce that U.S. nurses were trained to treat acute illnesses and injuries based on 20th century needs which is no longer adequate...

...Why Communication Education is important: The Centrality of the Discipline in the 21st Century. Communication is an important aspect of our lives. It is hard to imagine a life where there is absolutely no communication. In this article we can see that thematic analysis of journal and newspaper articles, reports, and surveys provide evidence of the centrality of communication in developing the whole person, improving the educational enterprise, being a responsible social and cultural participant in the world, succeeding in one’s career and in business, enhancing organizational processes and organizational life, and, addressing several emerging concerns in the 21st century including health communication, crisis communication, and crime and policing. This article helps us understand how people use messages to generate meaning within and across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media. It also talks about the content and importance of each of six themes which provide evidence of the importance of communication instruction in the 21st century. Communication is important in the 21st century because it allows people to share ideas, interests, and develop relationships. We learn that while humans are born with the ability to vocalize, they are not born with a full accoutrement of the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that constitute communication competence. The ability to communicate effectively and appropriately is learned and should be taught. The...

Technology has changed almost every part of our society, including our educational methods. Traditionally, schools tell their stakeholders what needs exist for students in their school. Authors like Fuller (1996) and Siemans (2004) have shown that educators, as a group, have a gap in their perception of computer usage. This gap suggests that teachers may not be using computers competently in their lesson plans. Early implementation of computers in classrooms was an additional activity rather than integrating them into the core curriculum. Other resistance to technology integration comes from the idea that the school day is already too busy and teachers cannot add anything new (Jenkins, Clinton, Purushotma, Robinson, & Weigel, 2006). Outside the classroom, students are on the forefront of technology usage. Today’s students are considered...

Dreyfus and Dreyfus theory of Skills Acquisition makes a distinction between ‘knowing that’ and ‘knowing how’. This theory presented that many of us are not conscious of our “knowing how” possibly because we take our knowing-how for granted. Another theory is the Authentic Assessment theory as cited by Dumaoang (2014) is the evaluation of student abilities in real world context. It is an appraisal of an of students analytical / creative skills. It is a tool that can be used to help students integrate what they learn and form of assessment that values the learning process as much as the final products. This study is also supported by Experiential Learning Theory. This theory builds on social and constructivist theories of learning but situate experience at the core of the learning process. It aim to understand the manners in which experiences-whether first or second hand-motivate learners and promote their learning. Therefore, learning is about meaningful experiences-in everyday life-that leads to a change in an individual’s knowledge and behaviours. The above-mentioned theories helped...
