Developing 21st Century Skills in Students
At UIS Kuala Lumpur, we look past academics, preparing our students with the grit and perseverance to tackle and achieve their goals by demonstrating personal actualisation skills of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills. Our holistic approach to student development prepares them for careers in our fast-paced global economy. In line with that direction, our emphasis is on the core competencies of 21st-century skills, primarily the 5Cs of Education.
Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking, the first C, where students are trained to use a rational approach in all areas of their life, skilfully applying, analysing, synthesizing data and information through reflection and pattern observation.
Creativity
Creativity, the second C is where our creative teaching and learning methods allow students to be in “the Zone” where they are completely absorbed by their lessons. It opens their minds to other possibilities to understand their subject matter effectively.
Communication
Communication, is our third C. Communication skills are vital to a student’s academic success. The ability to articulate ideas, thought processes and engage in an emotionally intelligent way all comes down to excellent communication skills.
Collaboration
The fourth C, Collaboration is where UIS Kuala Lumpur fosters collaborative learning to develop higher level thinking, self-management and self – regulation skills. Collaboration cultivates empathy and understanding of others, brings a synergy that spurs a growth mindset.
Character
We place a huge emphasis on Character, the fifth C. We see character education as the shared responsibility of the UIS Kuala Lumpur community. Core values, ethics, integrity, emotional maturity and civic mindedness are some of the tenets in character education offered by UCSI Subang.
Students spend a lot of their young lives in school and this offers ample opportunity to develop the 5C’s through sportsmanship, healthy competition and stimulating challenges in the classroom and extracurricular activities. At UIS Kuala Lumpur our students are given every opportunity to cultivate social and community awareness through events such Pink Day, Community Outreach Programmes, Talent Shows and Sporting Events.
