With the rapid changes in technology at the beginning of the 21st century came a call from Education and Business leaders to strengthen learning opportunities for students in what were called 21st Century or Workplace Transferable Skills. These leaders collaborated globally to define and prioritize these skills in a variety of frameworks.…

This research are develop the project-based learning model using gamification which can be used as a guideline to develop the project-based learning system using gamification to enhance 21st century learners through the six steps of project-based learning process and instruction activities using gamification; thereby, users can interact and…

Micro-credentials are short, highly focused programs designed to provide in-demand skills that help students quickly advance their career, often in just a single semester. They have emerged as a way for students-many of whom are adult learners looking to change jobs-to acquire and demonstrate a core set of skills that can jumpstart their entry…

This study aimed to determine the relationship between primary school students' critical thinking and entrepreneurial tendencies. The relational screening model was used. Three hundred seventy-three primary school students participated in the research. The data were collected with the "Critical Thinking Tendency Scale for Primary School…

This article introduces a flexible and easy-to-implement open-ended scientific inquiry activity called the Paper Towels Challenge. After experimentally determining which of three unbranded paper towels is the most absorbent, students discuss their results and methods. The teacher facilitates the discussion of epistemological issues. This activity…

Information problem solving (IPS) is an important twenty-first century skill, but it is lacking at all age levels. One type of information problem, those of an ill-structured nature that require multiple iterations of (re)defining problems and formulating emerging solutions, can be particularly challenging but have received less attention in the…

The future of work is rapidly evolving owing to the swift developments in technology and societal changes. While failure to adapt signifies being disrupted, those who do adapt become the disruptors, impacting economies, societies, environments, and education. Traditional work skills may no longer suffice in the current world of work, necessitating…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s emergence is viewed as a disruptive technological advancement that has been beneficial for most educational purposes but also coupled with emerging challenges and potentially destabilizing effects. Given the unprecedented onset and surge in interests, education stakeholders are often pressured to adopt…

The student body within a university is a dynamic entity, with each cohort being shaped by current societal events and technological advancements. Thus, higher education institutions and other providers of leadership education and development must consider the nature of today's college students and employees, who are primarily from Generation Z,…

This study was carried out within the scope of a nature education and science camp project. It aimed to investigate the effects of STEM activities conducted in out-of-school environments on teachers' STEM awareness and 21st-century skills. The research was designed according to the explanatory sequential pattern of the mixed method, and the…

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to develop a theoretical framework for enhancing students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) by integrating massive open online courses (MOOCs) with gamification elements. Background: There is a growing demand to develop students' innovative thinking abilities through MOOCs, focusing on higher-order thinking skills…

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are an important element in facing the challenges of the 21 st-century. Difficulty in solving problems systematically, facing challenges in an organized manner, and being unable to design original solutions are due to the low HOTS that students have. HOTS ability can improve students who low-level thinking…

With the constant strive for higher standards in education, New York State has joined with other states in the nation to develop a new strategy to teach science and 21st-century learning skills to ensure that our children are ready to compete in the global economy. This study sought to determine the current knowledge and perceptions of in-service…

Computational thinking (CT), an essential 21st century skill, incorporates key computer science concepts such as abstraction, algorithms, and debugging. Debugging is particularly underrepresented in the CT training literature. This multi-level meta-analysis focused on debugging as a core CT skill, and investigated the effects of various debugging…

There has long been a need for a larger body of data supporting the difference in achievement among students educated in an environment rich in the arts. The 21st century has seen an emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education to prepare students for future jobs in STEM fields. Global competition for technological…
