The role of technology in the 21st century education of learners

-



Technology is one of the most powerful influences in today's educational scene. This mixed methods study aimed to determine and describe the lived experiences of senior high school learners in terms of the role of technology in 21st century education. The researcher collected data from 100 senior high school (SHS) learners using simple random sampling for the quantitative phase (QTP) and five from SHS students using purposive sampling for the qualitative phase (QLP) for SY 2021-2022. Survey questionnaires and an in-depth interview guide were utilized to gather data and were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, and thematic analysis. Results revealed that because of the widespread availability of internet mobile connections, there has been a significant number of students that use technology. As a result, students have a high level of computer skills and use of technology because it is useful and relevant in the educational process. Similarly, students see the value of incorporating technology into classroom discussions since it increases their interest in the subject. Furthermore, technology is viewed as an important tool for learning, and the importance of using social media is proved by learners' average daily usage. The introduction of popular media into the lives of students has had a significant impact on this. Despite the negative effects of social media, students still find it useful in the classroom since it can spark other people's interests and inspire them to learn. It implies that instructional delivery and assessment need to be addressed with respect to the needs of the 21st century learners.

  Being a Teacher of Tomorrow Education serves as the foundation, root, and sprout from which our current and future generations will lead and reproduce. As a result, having the best educational system in the world ensures a combative, albeit pugnacious, metamorphosis for me, you, and our children. Indeed, education may spark societal change through altering a person's viewpoint and attitude. It has the potential to affect the pattern of social ties, resulting in social transformations.  But we all have different perspectives on education. Some of us are better than others at communicating our thoughts. Some of us are better than others at listening to others' points of view. But one thing that all teachers agree on is that we need to undertake more study and develop innovative teaching strategies for our learners.  In a world where technology is always changing and evolving, teachers are finding it more challenging to keep up with what their students are learning in class and

Equipping Teachers with Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes, and Values for the 21st Century: A Reflection

  How relevant and applicable were the course contents in helping you enhance your competencies as 21 st Century teacher? This short-term course allowed me to assess the competencies expected of a 21st-century educator. Despite the four years of preparation, I received during my teacher education days, as well as the numerous workshops and seminars I have attended, it has become an excellent forum for me to rekindle the path I took. The demands of being a teacher have changed. Previously, paper-and-pencil tests and teacher-talking time were the off-the-shelf strategies. But now, you cannot go a day without using a television set/digital light processing projector, speakers, laptop, among others. Similarly, teachers have updated their students via social media. Indeed, things and times have changed. Given these classroom realities, I am grateful to have been introduced to the requirements of the twenty-first-century teaching landscape. We must learn, relearn, and unlearn becaus
