The understanding of teachers on 21st Century Learning (PAK21) helps in determining the best learning strategy to be integrated effectively into a classroom. This research is aimed to explore the implementation of PAK21 that is applied by Arts Studies teachers in private primary schools. Specifically, this study investigates the strategies employed by the teachers as well as the effectiveness of the PAK21 method on the pupils. This study is a qualitative case study. The research data collected are from interviews, observations and document analyses in order to provide a clear view of the implementation of PAK21. Participants of the study comprised of 2 teachers and 2 pupils who were selected through purposive sampling. The results from the study showed that one of the teachers practiced the PAK21 strategy in teaching and learning in Arts Studies. Among the strategies implemented by the teacher are the think-pair share, gallery walk, round table, and hot seat. These strategies gave positive effects on the pupils, as they are more confident, active and collaborative during teaching and learning session. Therefore, this study suggests that teachers from private primary schools should be given appropriate courses and training in order to carry out the PAK21 method thoroughly, as this approach is shown to give positive effects on the pupils.
