1.0 INTRODUCTION

The term 21st century skills refers to a broad set of knowledge, skills, work habits, and

character traits that are believed—by educators, school reformers, college professors, employers,

and others—to be critically important to success in today’s world, particularly in collegiate

programs and contemporary careers and workplaces. Generally speaking, 21st century skills can

be applied in all academic subect areas, and in all educational, career, and civic settings

throughout a student’s life. The 21st century sills covers a few aspects such as learning and

innovation skills, information, media, technology skills and life and career skills.

!ccording to The Glossary of "ducation #2$1%&, 21st century abilities idea is roused by

the conviction that showing understudies the most applicable, valuable, popular, and generally

material aptitudes ought to be prioriti'ed in today(s schools, and by the related conviction that

numerous schools may not sufficiently prioriti'e such aptitudes or ade)uately show them to

understudies. To plan students for their future lives and vocations, they have to grapple with

genuine issues that are captivating and pertinent. *ith an assemblage of difficulties confronting

our groups, alongside moment network to a worldwide society, city writing proficiency couldn(t

be more applicable or relevant to the curricula in our schools. Global warming, migration

change, pandemic ailments, and budgetary emergencies are simply a couple of the issues today(s

understudies will be called upon to address and today(s understudies must be arranged to tackle

these difficulties, stated the +ational "ducation !ssociation.

There are a few ways to develop these 21st century skills in students. !s an eample-

making the 21st century skills relevant. y making it relevant in their daily lives, students will

have the motivation to try their hardest to develop the skills. Teachers play an important role in

this part because they are the ones will have to make their students understand the importance

and the relevance of the skills in daily lives. !nother way to develop these skills in students is by

encouraging them to apply these skills every day for the rest of their lives. /tudents need the

encouragement for them to have the motivation to learn and apply the skills. These

encouragements can be made by teachers, parents and peers. /tudents can be asked to apply

record these skills while hanging out with friends or family because they will spend most of their

days with them. /tudents mostly will learn better with peers and collaboration is one of the most

important skills in the 21st century. !ccording to /aavedra and 0pfer #2$12&, there are numerous



courses in which instructors can outline direction to advance learning with others, understudies

can talk about ideas in sets or gatherings and offer what they comprehend with whatever remains

of the class.



2.0 LITERATURE REVIE$

!ccording to ustin loud #2$1$- 1&, in this 21st century, people around the world have

become more connected and we do almost everything, from education to business, using the

technologies. That is why it is vital for individuals to develop skills that are needed in order to

adapt in today’s world. The 2$th and 21st century, has many differences in terms of the needs of

people in daily life. 3n echange, as what hris 4ede stated, educational systems should

transform their obectives, curricula, pedagogies, and assessments to help all students develop

skills that re)uired in the future #2$$5- 6&. The way teacher teaches nowadays should also change

to meet the needs of the students nowadays. 7or instance, in the 2$th century, teachers will ust

deliver lectures while students listen and take notes. The information that students receive are

limited. They only learn to pass their eam and less likely apply it on their daily life. The *orld

lass "ducation promotes student centered learning where students participate actively in their

learning process. 0ther than that, students are encouraged to apply electronic devices when

learning. 3n a nutshell, education nowadays should provide the needs of students so that they are

able to adapt in the future. !ll parties are responsible in this matter and not rely on teachers only.

#.0 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

#.1 P%&'()(*%+',

There are 19: participants in this study. The participants are mostly eighteen to twenty

years old. ;ost of them are first and second year students from German<;alaysian 3nstitute and

+ational =niversity of ;alaysia taking various courses. 7urthermore, these participants are

mostly female and single. 0ther than that, the participants are mainly graduates of matriculation.

#.2 D%'% C-/)'(-+ M/'-

3n order to conduct the survey and collect the data, we have chosen to create an online

survey form using an application offered by Google 4rive which was the Google 7orm

application. ased on the 2: )uestions related to the 21 st entury /kills topic that we have

constructed, we decided to allocate those )uestions into three parts> 1$ scale type )uestions

which were scaled from 1 #strongly agree& to : #strongly disagree&, 1$ multiple choice type of

)uestions which were given the choices of ?@es’ and ?+o’ and : checkboes type of )uestion

where the respondents could choose more than one answer based on their opinions on the

)uestions.

The link of our Google 7orm survey was then attached to social medias such as 7acebook

and Twitter to get responses. !part from that, we spread the links via messengers such as

*hats!pp, Telegram and A3+".

#. D%'% A+%,(,

The analysis of the data received was done using Google /preadsheet where a thorough

and descriptive analysis of the data is listed down. The graphs were all taken from the summary

given on Google /preadsheet. 4emographic information were all based on percentage to

determine information such as how many percent is male and how many percent is female.

;ultiple choices )uestions were also analy'ed based on the amount of percentage, while

checkbo )uestions were analy'ed using a bar graph and to see which is the most and which is



the least answer chosen by the participants. !t the same time, the mean for rated )uestions was

found and the )uestions were analy'ed based on the mean that was obtained. Aastly, eplanation

)uestions were analy'ed according to the main ideas of the participants’ responses.

".0 DISCUSSION

The revelation of the findings shows that most of the respondents are mostly female.

/ince the )uestionnaire was spread about via social networking medias, among our own circles

of friends, maority of the respondents are students from various levels of education. The

students, maority from the age of 1C to 2$ years old, and are single.

The 21st skills are vital. /ince the world is rapidly changing, each human being is getting

more and more connected to the technology provided. The adaptation of these skills are crucial,

hence the knowledge of 21st century must have eposure. Thus, having young students to react

to this survey has a positive impact on the findings. 7or instance, when asked about the

respondents’ computer and internet usage, the study shows that these young respondents are

capable of using both the computer, and the internet. ;ost of them, agree to the concept of

@04, which is bring your own device to class as they support mobile and e<learning. This

pattern of result may be the result of the age range, as these participants grew amidst the rapid

use of technology.

ased on the study, the participants have a slight knowledge about the 21st century,

however not all are aware the importance of having these skills. /ome individuals are still

growing and epanding their skills throughout daily lives. The study reveals that most

respondents still need to ac)uire critical thinking skills and learn how to solve critical problems,

rather than to give up easily and getting upset about the unsolved problem. !part from that,

participants need to boost up the confidence level, to talk in public for instance. !s a community

which rely on technology most of the time, these participants might have been too attached to the

modern ways.

7urthermore, this study that we have carried out has opened up some mind and shared

thoughts about the education system. ! big part of the respondents agree that education is not

only for studying but also ac)uiring skills we need in life. ;ost of the participants agree that

time has slightly tweaked the education system, and to adapt with the revolutionary changes,

educators need to cope and prepare themselves with most up<to<date skills. eing the future of

the world, the participants agree that they themselves are able to adapt to the fast changes of the

world.



!part from that, we also managed to determine how some participants retrieve their 21st

century skills. The summary of our research has shown how they ac)uired their skills. !ll data

and information are translated into demographic information for better summari'ation. The

participants are curious which fits their age description as students. They like to )uestion and

seek to understand the how’s’ and whys’ before eecuting anything. The participants seem to

enoy a colourful community, diverse backgrounds which eplain how the 21st century skills they

had ac)uired.

7urthermore, through this survey, we manage to find out how the students nowadays

accept and apply their skills in daily lives. The application of these skills helps students to strive

for better life )ualities and to become more successful in the future. The participants revealed

their leadership skills, and how they manage their communication during group works. ;ost of

the participants show that they are tolerable> however they are not ready to sociali'e with new

ac)uaintances.

3n the end, with this survey was a bit biased because all the most responses that we had

received was from a specific age range, although it is more reasonable to work with young

minds, to find out what their opinions on 21st century skills. !ll in all, the 21st century skills are

crucial, and have a great impact on the education system.

7.0 CONCLUSION



To conclude, what we got from the survey was the types of 21st century skills the

participants possess and how the skills are applied in daily lives. 21 st century skills are important

nowadays to succeed in today’s world. The 21 st century skills includes the ability to think

critically, solve problems, creative, innovative, good in communicating and collaborating with

others. The skills mentioned are important for every student or everyone to adapt because living

today has become difficult due to the global warming, migration change, pandemic ailments, and

budgetary emergencies as eamples. 3n order to adopt those skills, it can be learnt and developed.

3n a nutshell, the 21st century skills are very important and we should always learn how to

develop all of the skills and apply them in daily lives.
