INTRODUCTION
From many centuries back until the present time, teacher, pupil, and instruction
were the constant entities of education. In the many years, however, techniques, style,
and educational instruments and technologies develop for better delivery of the lesson
and learning of content. This chapter will help you to understand the transition from the
past years to the present century of teaching and learning.

TEACHERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
LEARNERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Students must get away with being passive learners. They have to:
1. learn to generate their own ideas and construct their own understanding of the
lesson;
2. create works that are original;
3. communicate clearly with other students and with their teachers;
4. collaborate with one another to achieve higher standards of learning; and
5. innovate learning and their outputs.
