The significance of learners acquiring the skills required in the 21st century, including communication skills, teamwork, ICT-related skills and socio-cultural knowledge, imagination, critical thinking, and problem-solving, has been extensively discussed. Integrating the 21st century into the curriculum requires teachers to have knowledge and resources to foster classroom practices. This qualitative study was designed to explore the resources that Indonesian science teachers use in supporting the implementation of the skills of creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, and communication (4Cs) integrated science instruction. Data analyses include surveys, audio recordings of smalls and large group discussions, and group discussion artifacts of 28 Indonesia vocational high school science teachers to identify the type of resources that teachers have had access to support the integration of 4C into science instruction and the extent to which these resources promote the 4C integration into science instruction. The analysis indicates that teachers use multiple resources to help them prepare for 4C integration into teaching practices, including various professional development (PD) programs, various teacher collaborations, curriculum guidelines, and open resources. Teachers found that Teacher Professional Education (TPE) was the most favorable PD program, and curriculum guideline was the least effective for advancing 4C integration. Implications are discussed further.

This study aimed to analyze the influence of internship as a form of the WBL model to LIS students, in terms of the assessment theory of work-based learning and framework of 21st-century skills. The method used is descriptive quantitative, with respondents students who have done internships. The results showed that there are significant WBL (X) on critical thinking and problem-solving skills (Y1), indicated by the results of the significance value 0.000 <0.050 probability and the value of t, the obtained value of tcount 6.177 > ttable 2.024. Next, there is the influence of WBL (X) on communication skills (Y2), seen from the significance value of 0.000 <0.050 probability. Then, for a value of t, obtained the value of tcount 5,039> ttable 2,024. There is the influence of WBL (X) on collaboration skills (Y3), seen at a significance value of 0.000 <0.050 probability. Then, for a value of t, the obtained value of tcount 5,405 > ttable 2,024. There is no significant and positive relationship between the implementation of WBL and students' Creativity and Innovation skills (Y4). This can be seen when the linearity test is carried out. The implementation of an internship can contribute to the development of skills covered in LIS, except for creativity and innovation skills.

In 2020, a global pandemic changed many of the traditional ways in which we interact with people, communicate, care for children, and educate. Many businesses have been forced to find new revenue streams or face imminent closure. Evidence of the importance of 21st-century competencies for leaders in all fields has been highlighted during this crisis. As nations consider the best approach for dealing with a virus, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication represent four critical elements to ponder. Higher education plays an essential role in preparing the workforce with the skills necessary to succeed in the ever-changing world. Skills associated with reasoning, problem-solving, listening, flexibility, responsibility, innovating, and analyzing must be the focus of higher education institutions. In this chapter, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication within the higher education environment will be explored. Practical examples will be shared.

In the 21st-century context, problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication are the most valued skills in the workplace. Thus, those in positions often labeled as “leadership” need to make a valuable shift: to guiding, inspiring, and facilitating rather than directing. In this article, I review research on two styles of leadership, transformational and transactional, and relate this research to discussions of the same two types of giftedness. Research on the effectiveness of leaders at engendering creative problem solving has shown the transformational style to be more effective. Leaders are guides in the process rather than the content, facilitators of the gathering and exchange of information from varied sources, and role models as they exhibit effective problem-solving behaviors themselves. As role models, they inspire others to take risks, think innovatively, and collaborate with others. Examples of methods for identifying exceptionally talented leaders and behaviors to observe are provided. In addition, an evidence-based model for igniting, cultivating, extending, and strengthening exceptional talent in leadership is described.

How can science instruction help students and teachers engage in relevant genetics content that stimulates learning and heightens curiosity? Project-based science can enhance learning and thinking in science classrooms. We describe how we use project-based science features as a framework for a genetics unit, discuss some of the challenges encountered, and provide suggestions for enactment. This serves as an example of how project-based approaches can be integrated into high school science classrooms.
