Discussions & Conclusion
One major aspect of concern while talking about teaching and learning in school is the attitude and perception of
students while the teaching and learning occur. It is essential to determine the effectiveness of teaching and learning
that take place in the classroom. It is important because we want to know whether the content delivered was
received by the students or not. Therefore, this study was undertaken to explore the relationship of 21st century skills
on students’ attitude and perception toward Physic.
Based on the analysis conducted, the students’ attitudes towards Physics are at high level, whereas the students’
perception on teaching and learning of Physics are at moderate level. Similarly, the results obtained for the
relationship of 21st century skills on students’ attitude towards Physics is strong while the relationship of 21st
century skills on students’ perception on teaching and learning of Physics is moderate.
In this 21st century, more skills are needed to be acquired in order to prepare students for a better future. Students
ought to have the ability to apply the knowledge that they have learned to face the challenges of life beyond school.
Basic skills are necessary but not sufficient enough to face this challenging world. The definition of student’s
achievements must be broadened to include the 21st century skills that will be required for students to thrive in the
future. Thus, the 21st century skills identified in this study comprises some of the most important skills that are
needed in the digital age. It is a current trend in education where students are able to solve multifaceted problems bythinking creatively and generating original ideas from multiple sources. The sheer magnitude of human knowledge,
globalization, and the accelerating rate of change due to technology necessitates a shift in student’s education from
plateaus of knowing to continuous cycles of learning, applying and contributing.
