Given the strong similarities in the fundamental objectives of the Humanism movement and the 21st century skills movement, it seems appropriate to question if a humanistic school culture is an appropriate environment to develop Social 21st century skills in students. Therefore, this study examines a school whose self-description is congruent with humanistic school culture and (1) describes how humanistic intentions manifest themselves in the school’s culture, and (2) examines connections between found humanistic school culture characteristics and 21st century skills. Five humanistic school culture characteristics were found: personal student-teacher relationships, community, trust, respect, and consciousness. All humanistic school culture characteristics were found to have relationships with 21st century skills: personal student-teacher relationships and Foundational 21st century skills, community and collaboration, community and sociability, community and communication, trust and decision-making, respect and collaboration, and consciousness and social responsibility. The significance of this study is in its’ ability to combine the two literatures in a manner that informs both while creating an unexplored line of thought. 2012-06-20 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1333669153 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1333669153 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
