Abstract: 21st century is the era of innovations in the field of teaching-learning. It is found that in this century only lecture method is highly ineffective for teaching twenty first century competencies and skills. Rethinking on current pedagogy is very essential and also there is need to identify new competencies that today’s learner expected to have. Traditional approaches usually emphasize the process of memorization. Research has proved that learners are more successful in acquiring new knowledge, competencies, skills and meta-cognitive abilities. Diversified pedagogies would help the diversified learners. Behaviourist approached worked out to be best for few group of learners but become obsolete in the 21st century, followed by connectivist and constructivist pedagogies. Even though they are gaining currencies in this period equally there is demand for Connectivist pedagogy as well. 21st century education is in need of 21st century pedagogies to combat the contemporary issues and challenges. Hence there is need to zoom out for understanding the latest trends in pedagogical context.
