The document discusses changes in 21st century education across five key categories: learning environment, content, process, learner types, and learning spaces. It notes that the new learning environment emphasizes information and communication technologies, uses innovative and modern teaching methods, and moves beyond the traditional classroom. The new content focuses on intellectual abilities rather than just factual knowledge, and cooperative rather than individual learning. New learner types are tech-savvy, come from diverse backgrounds, and have traits like independence and creativity. Learning now occurs both inside and outside the classroom, taking advantage of places like parks, museums and homes to enhance real-life experience.
