Evidence of the 4Cs of 21st Century Learning in Jamaica’s NCTVET Home Economics Related Curricula

Simpson, Rainess La-Gloria

This paper argues that 21st Century Learning is one way to enhance home economics related vocational courses in Jamaica. It makes the case for including the 4Cs of 21st Century Learning (critical thinking, communication, cooperation, and creativity) in Jamaica's National Council on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (NCTVET) Home Economics related vocational curricula then it examines the current mandated curricula for evidence of the 4Cs. The purpose of this inquiry was to determine to what extent are the 4Cs evident in the instructional content of the NCTVET Home Economics related syllabi, to make recommendations to improve the implementation of the 4Cs within NCTVET Home Economics courses.
