Implementation of 21st  \nCentury Skills Vera Jacobson-Lundeberg  \nAbstract  \nThis paper examines students’perceptions of how intentionally taught 21st century skills have transformed their lives. Personal development education (PDE) encompasses interpersonal and interaction skills that are required for students to function and succeed in globaloriented 21st century colleges and careers. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is a reform movement bringing 21st century skills into the mainstream. Embedding 21st century skills such as communication and collaboration is necessary and timely, meeting the requirements of the CCSS English-language art’s listening and speaking standards. This paper explores students’perceptions of how PDE influenced their ability to communicate more effectively and work collaboratively with a range of peers and others. Therefore, asthe value of this education is recognized, this paper also offers practical implementation and application strategies for core curriculum.  \nKeywords: Personal development education, soft skills, 21st century skills, common core standards, pedagogic implementation  \nInequitable student outcomes and a growing population of under- or mis-educated adults are predictable as long as our kindergarten through grade-12 (K-12) education retains its current structure (Rumberger & Lim 2008: Career & Technical State Report, 2008) . One way to mitigate patterns of mis-education is through personal development education (PDE), an essential dimension of 21st century education designed to prepare lower-income and immigrant students to succeed in college and careers (California Department of Education CDE, 2006) . This paper is the result of a research study that examined the effects of PDE on students’perceptions of growth, with particular  \n82  \nfocus on and attention to potential benefits for socioeconomically disadvantaged (SED) subgroups. The paper offers a pragmatic approach to teaching and learning framework that embeds career education in the school system, and it identifies factors that strengthen student career development (California Department of Education [CDE], 2006) . This study sought to document the role ofPDE through students’perceptions of 21st century behavioral skill development, and to report on whether such an education gives students multidirectional skills to navigate appropriately and successfully both in school and in their careers. The context of this study is a career and technical education (CTE) program that specifically includes PDE asa framework within which educational transformation for firstgeneration college attending students can take place.  \nProviding PDE to students in SED subgroups is a critical dimension of equitable education. According to Johnson (2008),“those born into economically advantaged families receive through rearing the instruments needed to appropriate the knowledge transmitted in schools and those lacking capital and the cultivation of the requisite cultural tools unfortunately depend on schools to cultivate these dispositions” (p. 231) . “Proponents of neoclassical human capital perspectives hold that individuals who possess a higher level of achieved status receive better paying jobs because their achievements—signal—to employers that they are more able and therefore potentially more productive” (Sakura-Lemessy, CarterTellison, & Sakura-Lemessy, 2009, p. 408) .  \nTwenty-first century skills can easily be taught and embedded into core curriculum. The author has taught these skills consistently in her courses for more than 20 years. She has created and conducted PDE workshops on embedding these skills into their individual pedagogical practice. Therefore, this paper discusses the value of teaching PDE, specifically 21st century skills of communication and collaboration. The methodology used to conduct this study and the resulting findings are discussed, followed by a discussion stemming from empirical knowledge of teaching","cbCainZmXbDEFcAw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainZmXbDEFcAw","pdf",324409,18,"English","# Abstract\n# The Value of 21st Century Skills\n## PDE and student success\n## CCSS and embedding speaking/listening criteria\n## Soft skills and related frameworks","[{\"question\":\"What is personal development education (PDE) in this paper?\",\"answer\":\"PDE is described as education that develops interpersonal and interaction skills required for students to function and succeed in global-oriented colleges and careers.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper connect 21st century skills to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that CCSS brings 21st century skills into the mainstream and adds speaking and listening criteria that align with embedding communication and collaboration in literacy standards.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes does the study focus on regarding PDE?\",\"answer\":\"The study documents students’ perceptions of growth in 21st century behavioral skills, particularly whether PDE helps students gain multidirectional skills for succeeding in school and careers.\"}]","Pedagogical Implementation of 21st Century Skills | PDF",1792094806,45]
