Having studied the theoretical concept of competence, this research aimed to identify the technical and pedagogical skills needed by teachers in the 21st century. On empirical field, we adopted a mixed methods approach based on a pragmatic paradigm. Data was gathered (i) applying a scale of perception of teaching competencies for the 21st century to 2688 portuguese teachers and (ii) interviewing five stakeholders of the portuguese educational system. Results allowed to produce 37 competencies organized around four dimensions: pedagogical; professional; technological; interpersonal and institutional relations. From these data, we reflected on the XXI century skills for teachers framework implications in teachers professional development.

Keywords : Teachers’ Competencies; 21st Century Skills; Teachers’ Professional Development; Mixed Methods Approach.
