Teachers 21st Century Skills Special Program in Sports Curriculum

Abstract

This study aimed to measure the 21st-century skills of 36 teachers in the Special Program in Sports (SPS) curriculum using a descriptive-correlational design. We employed frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and one-way ANOVA to provide a comprehensive analysis, interpretation, and outcome of the data. According to the findings about the demographic profile of the teacher respondents, SPS teachers range in age from 24-32 to 47-57 years old in a remarkably homogeneous manner. Most respondents were female; the majority had a bachelor's degree as their highest level of education; they had worked as teachers for 5–15 years; and the majority of SPS instructors had a normal BMI status. The results described the teachers' 21st-century skills in the SPS curriculum as highly agreeable, interpreting them as experts in content and pedagogy, learning environment and learner diversity, curriculum and planning, and community linkages. This study demonstrates that SPS schools in Region XII have already anchored themselves to educational practices that equip learners to meet the challenges of 21st-century society, as evidenced by the study's findings. Similarly, the study found no significant difference in the 21st-century skills of special program sports teachers among the implementing schools. The study showcases the dynamic, experienced, and empowering SPS teachers, who prioritize learners' needs, create innovative teaching methods, and adapt teaching strategies for 21st-century success.
