20 Century Education 21 Century Education: TH ST

The document compares 20th century education to 21st century education. 20th century education was time-based, teacher-centered, and focused on memorization of facts through passive learning. In contrast, 21st century education is outcome-based, student-centered and focuses on real-life, collaborative project-based learning assessed at higher levels of thinking. Both aim to help students succeed, but 21st century education better prepares students for a globalized world through more relevant, technology-driven learning experiences.
