46.047 - Education for the 21st Century: A Six-Country Examination of National Curricular Frameworks and Priorities

Sat, April 18, 8:15 to 10:15am, Swissotel, Floor: Event Centre Second Level, Vevey 1&2

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Discussions about how to prepare students for citizenship and economic participation in the 21st century include the need to acquire key competencies and the need to learn skills beyond the basics, such as digital, civic, self-knowledge and interpersonal competencies, among others. In this context, how are instructional priorities represented in national curricular frameworks? How do these frameworks reflect the competencies that students need to thrive in the 21st century, as identified by research? Researchers from Chile, China, India, Mexico, Singapore, and the United States discuss these questions and present findings from their respective studies about how national curricular frameworks and policies define, support, and encourage the competencies that students need to thrive in the 21st century.
