Examining Teachers' Views on the Inclusive 21st-Century Skills Model

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the perspectives of educators regarding the Inclusive 21st-Century Skill Model, as outlined by the Presidency of the Board of Education (2023). The research design was grounded in phenomenology, a qualitative research method. The study group comprised nine teachers, and the data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The collected data were subjected to content analysis, which resulted in the identification of themes, categories, and codes. The extant research findings indicate that the provision of 21st-century skills and values to students is conducive to achieving positive results in terms of students, teachers, school administration, parents, and the school environment. Furthermore, the participants asserted the significance of imparting values and skills to students through a collaborative approach, emphasizing that the acquisition of skills alone is insufficient for fostering individuals who contribute positively to society. The Inclusive 21st-Century Skill Model, which was examined within the scope of the research, was found to be applicable across all branches. Considering the findings, the following recommendations have been put forward: Firstly, it is advised that educators undergo personal growth and professional development to ensure they are not left behind in terms of 21st-century competencies. To achieve this, schools should implement initiatives aimed at encouraging teachers to enhance their skills. Secondly, it is recommended that parents become more informed about the 21st-century skills that their children will need to excel in. Schools should therefore organize educational programs designed to enlighten parents on this topic. Finally, schools should strive to transform their physical spaces and learning environments into ones that are equipped with a robust scientific infrastructure, thereby facilitating access to a wide array of multidisciplinary resources.
