Never before have the tools for information access and management made such an impact on the way we live, work, shop, and play. Learning itself is becoming perpetually particular and extending exponentially. Information and communication technology is transforming how we learn and the nature of how work is conducted and the meaning of social relationships. Shared decision-making, information sharing, collaboration, innovation, and speed are essential in today’s enterprises. Never again would students be able to anticipate white collar class achievement in the direct of physical work or utilization of routine aptitudes – work that can be proficient by just machines or effortlessly out-sourced to impart, offer, and utilize data to take care of complex issues, in having the capacity to adjust and develop because of new requests and evolving conditions, in having the capacity to summon and grow the intensity of innovation to make new information. Traditional education models have often focused on learning identified context for subject areas such as math, science, language arts and social studies, and then assessing this content knowledge with quizzes and tests at the end of a chapter or learning module. Wanted results with 21st-century learning structures incorporate learning customary school subject and 1 BATAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Senior high school Roman Super Highway, City of Balanga, Bataan Email Add: bnhs.shsbalangacity@gmail.com contemporary substance topics in blend with the interdisciplinary 21st-century subjects. The center subjects and topics that edge 21st-century learning incorporate customary center subjects while at the same time underlining metro education, worldwide mindfulness, monetary proficiency, well - being proficiency, and ecological education. The 21st-century life and profession aptitudes center around the capacity of people to work adequately with differing groups, to be receptive to shifting thoughts and qualities, set and meet objectives, oversee extends successfully, being responsible for comes about, show moral practices, and be mindful to both one’s self and the bigger network. Halim (2013) concluded that STEM education is the perfect medium for the implementation of 21st-century skills. Student assessment, whether by standardized test or classroom-based measures, is a cornerstone of effective teaching and learning. Taken as a whole, good assessments can not only provide a reliable and valid measure of a student’s learning and understanding but also help guide both teachers and students on a day-to-day basis. Students may not master 21st-century skills without the support of teachers and advisers who are well trained and supported in this type of instruction. Bybee and Starkweather (2006) argue that teacher and support staff professional development used to focus mainly on how to use technology and that today, the focus is on instructional strategies and needs. They stated that technology education professional development needs to focus on how to use technology to improve student achievement and how to teach a standards-based lesson infused with technology. 21st-century professional development opportunities prepare educators to integrate 21st-century skills into learning standards and classroom instruction. 2 BATAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Senior high school Roman Super Highway, City of Balanga, Bataan Email Add: bnhs.shsbalangacity@gmail.com RESEARCH LOCALE This study is a Quantitative research; it is associated with the Assessment of the 21stCentury Learning Skills of Selected Students of Bataan National High School-Senior High School.

The geographical area where the study was conducted, the study design and the population and sample are described. The instrument used to collect the data, including methods implemented to maintain validity and reliability of the instrument, are described. RESEARCH APPROACH AND DESIGN A quantitative approach was followed. Burns and Grove (2003) characterize quantitative research as a formal, objective, deliberate procedure to depict and test connections and inspect circumstances and end results connections among factors. Studies might be utilized for expressive, logical and exploratory research. An unmistakable overview configuration was utilized. An overview is utilized to gather unique information for portraying a populace too substantial to watch specifically (Mouton 2006). A study gets data from an example of individuals by methods for self-report, that is, the general population react to a progression of inquiries presented by the agent (Polit and Hungler 2008). In this investigation the data was gathered through self-controlled surveys circulated by and by to the subjects by the Researchers. A descriptive design was selected because it provides an accurate portrayal or account of the characteristics, for example behaviour, opinions, abilities, beliefs, and knowledge of a particular individual, situation or group. This design was chosen to meet the objectives of the study, 11 BATAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Senior high school Roman Super Highway, City of Balanga, Bataan Email Add: bnhs.shsbalangacity@gmail.com namely to assess the 21st Century Learning Skills of Selected Students of Bataan National High School-Senior High School. A simple random sample of 60 subjects was selected from the two strands. Mouton (2006) defines a sample as elements selected with the intention of finding out something about the total population from which they are taken. A simple random sample consists of subjects included in the study because they happen to be in the right place at the right time (Polit & Hungler, 2008). The sample included 30 STEM Students and 30 ABM Students. Available subjects were entered into the study until a sample size of 60 was reached. Subjects who met the sample criteria were identified by the researcher at the Bataan National High School-Senior High School. The sample size of 30 STEM Students and 30 ABM Students were the total of subjects who were willing to participate in the research and who met the sampling criteria. INSTRUMENT A questionnaire was chosen as data collection instrument. A questionnaire is a printed self-report form designed to elicit information that can be obtained through the written responses of the subjects. The information obtained through a questionnaire is similar to that obtained by an interview, but the questions tend to have less depth. Data was collected with the aid of questionnaires to evaluate the student’s 21st Century Learning Skills. Questionnaires were decided upon because of the following: · They ensured a high response rate as the questionnaires were distributed to respondents to complete and were collected personally by the researcher. 12 BATAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Senior high school Roman Super Highway, City of Balanga, Bataan Email Add: bnhs.shsbalangacity@gmail.com VALIDITY To achieve content validity, questionnaires included a variety of questions on the knowledge of students about 21st Century Learning Skills. Questions were based on information gathered during the literature review to ensure that they were representative of what students and teachers should know about 21st Century Learning Skills. Content validity was further ensured by consistency in administering the questionnaires. All questionnaires were distributed to subjects by the researcher personally. The questions were formulated in simple language for clarity and ease of understanding. Clear instructions were given to the subjects and the researcher completed the questionnaires for those subjects who could not read. All the subjects completed the questionnaires in the presence of the researcher. Rephrasing of some questions was done to clarify the questions and more appropriate alternative response choices were added to the closedended questions to provide for meaningful data analysis. No single person who was approached refused to participate. Generalizing the findings to all members of the population is therefore justified. Seeking subjects who are willing to participate in a study can be difficult, particularly if the study requires extensive amounts of time or other types of investment by subjects. If the number of the persons approached to participate in a study declines, generalizing the findings to all members of a population is not easy to justify. The study needs to be planned to limit the investment demands on subjects in order to increase participation. 13 BATAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Senior high school Roman Super Highway, City of Balanga, Bataan Email Add: bnhs.shsbalangacity@gmail.com The number of persons who were approached and refused to participate in the study should be reported so that threats to external validity can be judged. As the percentage of those who decline to participate increases, external validity decreases. DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE Questionnaires were personally distributed by the researcher to students of Bataan National High School-Senior High School in the strands of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics and of Accountancy Business and Management of School Year: 2018-2019. STATISTICAL TREATMENT After the data was collected it was organized and analyzed. For analysis of closed-ended questions, a Paired Z-Test was used and Percentage and Mean. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Frequency tables were drawn and from these the data was presented in pie diagrams and bar graphs. The open-ended questions were analyzed through quantitative content analysis by the researcher with the aim of quantifying emerging characteristics and concepts. Concept analysis is the process of analyzing verbal or written communications in a systematic way to measure variables quantitatively. 14 BATAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Senior high school Roman Super Highway, City of Balanga, Bataan Email Add: bnhs.shsbalangacity@gmail.com REFERENCES https://images.pearsonassessments.com/.../Assessing_21st_Century_Skills_NCME.pdf https://cosee.umaine.edu/files/coseeos/21st_century_skills.pdf ismtec2016.ipst.ac.th/presentation/Slide%20Presentation%20Norhaqikah.pdf www.oecd.org/site/educeri21st/40554299.pdf www.ksbe.edu/_assets/spi/pdfs/21_century_skills_full.pdf https://actrc.org/projects/current-projects/21st-century-skills-in-the-philippines/ https://ejournals.ph/article.php?id=10355 https://images.pearsonassessments.com/images/tmrs/Assessing_21st_Century_Skills_NCME.pdf http://www.academia.edu/4020584/CHAPTER_TWO_REVIEW_OF_RELATED_LITERATUR E www.researchgate.net/profile/Mohamed_Mourad_Lafifi/post/I_need_reading_Studies_on_Integr ating_21st_Century_Skills_in_Mathematical_Books/attachment/59d64d9179197b80779a71a4/A 15 BATAAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Senior high school Roman Super Highway, City of Balanga, Bataan Email Add: bnhs.shsbalangacity@gmail.com S%3A488794387423234%401493549072008/download/21st+CENTURY+LEARNING+SKILL S_GLOBAL+LEARNING+IN+AN+URBAN+MIDDLE+SCHOOL+.pdf http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/104794/12/12_chapter%202%20rrl.pdf https://ac.els-cdn.com/S1877042814014645/1-s2.0-S1877042814014645 main.pdf?_tid=ace187ed-e860-4634-8a4e 4c9f215af00c&acdnat=1535606220_842d28fa77ddc2573d9919206715fb48 https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1149146 http://apjeas.apjmr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/APJEAS-2015-2-118-21st-CenturySkills.pdf http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2158244017726116 16
