Assessing Perceptions on the Effectiveness of Online Community Projects Encompassing 4C of 21st-Century Skills
Keywords:

Online community projects assist advisees in developing their skills and raising the standard of living in their local communities. This study evaluated the efficacy of a paradigm for online community projects at higher education institutions that integrates the 4Cs of 21st-century skills in English classrooms. There were five phases of the flow of this research: Introduction, Project Confirmation, Video Preparation Process, Assessment, and Conclusion. This study is descriptive since it evaluated students' skills within learning using a questionnaire adapted from Kelley et al (2019) on 21st-century skills. Using a 6-point Likert scale, respondents provided input on 18 items covering five elements of their perceptions of this study. The study's findings demonstrate that online community initiatives that incorporate the fourth competency—21st-century skills—into the teaching and learning process fall into the excellent category. The research's conclusions suggest that advisors should adjust to using digital communication practices in the classroom because the advisees find them to be sufficiently important. The advisees' work is distinctive after conferring with their advisor on the problem-based learning pedagogy applied in this project. Enhancement of the 4Cs of 21st-century skills of advisees while commencing in this online community project will improve advisees' employability after completing the assigned duties.
