Teaching Models for Developing 21st Century Learning Skills in Pre-service Teachers

Abstract

The 21^st century skills (3R8Cs) are widely acknowledged in educational circles for their profound impact on learners' ability to think critically, act effectively, solve problems, and coexist harmoniously within society. Consequently, the development of pre-service teachers for the 21^st century, as future drivers of education, is of paramount importance. The teaching model, which serves as a mechanism for achieving learning outcomes, integrates three instructional techniques and methods: 1) the 5P technique, 2) play-based learning, and 3) research methodology and project-based approaches. These components converge to form the BOAT Model, which comprises four key elements: laying the Basic of Thought, cultivating an Open Mind, demonstrating behavior leading to the Achievement of Goals, and Overcoming Threats from both internal and external factors. This comprehensive approach equips pre-service teachers with the knowledge, skills, and characteristics of 21^st century learners, enabling them to effectively nurture and develop their future students.
