Abstract: China Education Innovation Institute of Beijing Normal University and the Partnership for Twenty-first Century Learning (P21) cooperated on the research of Twenty-first Century Key Competences. On the basis of the 4Cs framework proposed by P21 (critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration), cultural understanding and inheritance competence was added to form the 5Cs framework. Through in-depth literature review, discussion and comprehensive argumentation, the 5Cs framework including five first-level dimensions and sixteen second-level dimensions is established. Through extensive investigation and further in-depth elaboration, we completed the establishment of 5C framework, connotation interpretation and behavioral performance, hoping to provide a set of feasible competences framework for promoting the implementation of Twenty-first Century Competencies education.
