Educational Communities' Perceptions of the Stimulation of 21st-Century Skills

This paper describes how educational communities perceive the stimulation of 21(st)-century skills in students. A quantitative approach was employed, following a descriptive non-experimental research design, with a sample of 692 subjects comprising teachers, students, and parents and guardians. The results reveal a perceived lack of stimulation of digital skills like robotics, electronics, and the development of mobile applications; socialskills like taking a rights-based or gender-based approach; emotional skills like self-care and resilience; and cognitive skills like creative and computational thinking. In conclusion, educational communities exhibit only a moderate perception of the stimulation of 21(st)-century skills, which demonstrates a need to strengthen initiatives to promote these skills in the education system.
