1 KEY SKILLS OF JUNIOR CYCLE
2 Key skills of junior cycle Learners need a wide range of skills to help them face the many challenges presented to them in today s world. They develop specific skills in their subjects and other courses. But there is also a more general set of skills that are needed to support learners in their personal, social and work lives. We refer to these as the key skills of junior cycle. As learners develop each of the key skills in an integrated way they will also become better learners. STAYING WELL The six key skills of junior cycle are Managing Myself, Staying Well, Communicating, Being Creative, Working with Others, and Managing Information and Thinking. Working with digital technology also forms part of each of the skills. Research with teachers and learners in the classroom has shown that these skills are relevant to all subjects and that they improve the learning experience. Therefore they will be embedded in the curriculum through the statements of learning and in curriculum specifications. Teachers are encouraged to build them into their class planning, their teaching approaches and into assessment. The key skills also support the development of literacy and numeracy, which is crucial for learners to access the curriculum. For example, skills in communication, problemsolving, and accessing and selecting information will contribute to literacy and numeracy development. WORKING WITH OTHERS MANAGING INFORMATION & THINKING
3 Key skills of junior cycle MANAGING MYSELF COMMUNICATING Literacy and numeracy are not listed as key skills, but are seen as providing the foundation on which the curriculum is built and will be integrated through every level of the curriculum and its assessment. Developing these skills in a way that will lead to their integration in the daily lives of students requires a creative approach to teaching and learning. Learners will need to encounter each of the skills frequently throughout the school day in different contexts. It follows therefore, that as the key skills are embedded in the curriculum and brought to life through the learning experiences encountered that they should also be included when planning for assessment. In this document you will see that each key skill is presented as a set of elements and the learning outcomes describe what the learner is expected to know and be able to do. A range of tools and other support materials are available at to illustrate how the key skills can be integrated in teaching and learning. BEING CREATIVE
4 MANAGING MYSELF This key skill helps learners to understand themselves both as individuals and as learners so that they can develop personal goals and plans. It also helps them develop strategies to make considered decisions, to take action and to reflect on their progress. STAYING WELL This key skill recognises that learners overall wellbeing must be supported alongside their intellectual development. Being healthy, physically and emotionally, being socially active and being able to take care of oneself and of others helps learners become happy and confident. This key skill also helps young people become positive and engaged in their learning and supports them in the safe and ethical use of digital technology. COMMUNICATING This skill helps learners develop good communication skills in all aspects of life, using a variety of media. As well as developing literacy skills it also develops learners confidence in communicating, expressing opinions, writing, making oral presentations and performing. BEING CREATIVE This skill enables learners to develop their imagination and creativity as they explore different ways of doing things and of thinking. Students learn to stay with challenges or tasks to completion and to learn from their experiences. WORKING WITH OTHERS This skill helps learners develop good relationships and to appreciate the value of cooperating to reach both collective and personal goals. Students also learn to value diversity and to engage in collaborative work aimed at making the world a better place. MANAGING INFORMATION AND THINKING This key skill helps learners gradually improve their capacity to search for information from different sources. They also develop their skills in judging and discriminating between information types and sources and they develop strategies for organising information so that they can understand it and use it later. This skill also develops learners thinking skills so that they can become more skilled in higher order reasoning and problem-solving.
