บทคัดย่อ

 The purpose of this study was to learn more about student perceptions of teaching and learning based on the 21^st century Learning and Innovation Skills: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity (4Cs) (Partnership for 21^st Century Learning, 2011). Learning Skills (The Four C’s) are by far the most popular 21^st Century skills. These skills are also called learning skills. More educators know about these skills because they’re universal needs for any career. They also vary in terms of importance, depending on an individual’s career aspirations: Critical thinking; Creativity; Collaboration; and Communication. Student perspective of current teaching and learning approaches in the classroom is an essential component of evaluating the degree to which the needs of learners are being met for success in a global economy and a 21^st century world.  Positive perceptions were found from students regarding the importance of all 4Cs for use beyond university (67.80%, 72.40%, 81.50%, 70.60%, respectively). Although over 60% of the participants agreed that each of the 4Cs is an important 21^st century skill, there are much less experiences in creating presentations and posting online.
