Research Questions
Project Description
  • If and how is teaching Global Competencies and 21st century skills currently implemented in pre-service education across Canada?
  • How effective is professional learning and development for in-service teachers on Global Competencies and 21st century skills?
  • How can we improve the teaching of Global Competencies in pre-service education?
  • What aspects of the current preparation best prepare teacher candidates to integrate Global Competencies in their future classrooms?
​In 2016, the Ontario government released a new framework for education called 21st Century Competencies. This framework sought to integrate new competencies around technology, creation, and innovation into K-12 education across Ontario. Through inquiry-based, experiential learning in STEM, these 21st-century competencies will equip children with the necessary tools to be successful in an ever-growing, globally connected, technological society. Importantly, educators must be equipped to teach these competencies in their classrooms. The current project examines how Global Competencies and 21st-century competencies are being incorporated into preservice and in-service teacher education by using Let’s Talk Science’s Canada 2067 Roadmap as a framework for evaluation.
