WERA SES 10 A, Developing 21st Century Skills for All Students: Results from the International Study of City Youth
Symposium
Contribution
In 2014, a sample of around 3,00015-year-old students in Barcleona secondary schools took part in the International Study of City Youth (ISCY) baseline survey. The paper will explore results on measures of 21st century skills within the ISCY Student Survey. Preliminary analysis of the data suggests that Barcelona students scored higher than other ISCY cities on many scales, especially in Appreciation of the value of school, and sense of belonging at school, prompting questions around the development of these skills within the Barcelona system. Detailed analysis of results will be undertaken to compare schools in Barcelona with schools in other cities, using a range of measures derived from scaled instruments established through international literature. Results from this analysis will be presented in the paper, to shed light on the real achievements of Barcelona secondary students on a range of 21st century skills, and the system-level factors that may contribute to these results.
