| Abstract | With advancements in information and the digital age, teaching and learning methods are evolving. Learners in the 21st century are required to adapt and upgrade their skills to stay with the trends. This study was conducted to determine the learners’ 21st century skills and their academic performance in English in Balingoan District, Balingoan, Misamis Oriental, for School Year 2024-2025, Specifically, this aimed to find out the learners’ level of 21st century skills; examine the learners’ level of academic performance in English and determine the significant relationship between the learner’s 21st century skills and their academic performance in English. The respondents were one hundred fifty (150) Grade 6 learners, using a stratified sampling technique. This study made use of the descriptive correlation method of research with an instrument that was patterned and modified from the study of Varona (2020). Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (r) were utilized to analyze and interpret the data gathered in the study. The findings of the study revealed that the learners' 21st-century skills were high, particularly in communication. Moreover, the level of academic performance in English was satisfactory, based on the performance task. Hence, there is a significant relationship between the 21st century skills and academic performance in English. This study concludes that learners with stronger 21st century skills tend to demonstrate better academic performance in English. It is recommended that educators and school leaders should develop instructional strategies and interventions to further strengthen these skills, ensuring learners are better equipped for future academic and professional success. |
