21ST CENTURY SKILLS AND DIGITAL SKILLS, ARE ONE AND THE SAME THING?

This study brings attention to the determinants of 21st-century skills and 21st-century digital skills. The following skills are investigated: technical, information, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. To understand differences in the level of these skills among workers, we need to know the factors that determine an individual’s skill level. A systematic literature review was conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of empirical studies measuring skill determinants. The results show that there is strong need for research on determinants of communication and collaboration skills. In a digital context, determinants for creativity and critical thinking are hardly studied. Furthermore, the identified determinants of 21st-century skills studies are limited to personality and psychological determinants, neglecting, for example, social determinants such as social support. Although digital skills studies show more variety, they mostly cover demographic and socioeconomic determinants.

The global pandemic and subsequent quarantine measures and restrictions have posed an array of challenges to the structure and procedure of university summative assessment process. Qualification assessment for Foreign Languages major programs in particular is a strict regimen process that involves different stages (oral and written exams, final project viva, internal and external review). Factors of societal change, that provide the backdrop for skillset critical transformation, crucial for the COVID-19 emergency educational framework are considered. The study premise is based on identification of various competency principles, derivative of 21st century skills for university staff members and projected digital literacy requirements. A correspondence between 21st century skills framework, Competences 2020 framework and the newly devised Global Skills framework has been devised. The study objective is to critically review the applied case and best practices of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University Digital Final Qualification Assessment for students of European (French, Italian, Spanish, English, German) and Oriental (Mandarin Chinese, Japanese) Languages major programs, employed in the year 2020 due to quarantine measures. The survey and analysis of different ICT tools is used to translate real life qualification assessment practices into online blended format. The investigation also seeks to identify various groups of applied digital skills and collaboration skills, utilized through qualification assessment process by all parties (students, faculty and referees). It is determined how in the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown all elements of the Final Qualification Assessment at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University for European and Oriental Languages programs have been relegated to the digital, remote or blended format with the use of ICT tools. The qualification assessment regimen for foreign languages major programs was adapted to digital format as a framework (a legal procedure that results in the degree confirmation of a student), the string of consecutive communicative activities according to the legal procedure, the "ritual" scenario. Comparative results of the Final Qualification Assessment digital format adaptation for different groups of foreign languages programs (European and Oriental) are devised

The article explores the use of digital models of hemodynamics to improve the health-saving competence of Physical Education teachers in postgraduate education through the integrative development of critical thinking and digital skills. The digital skills and critical thinking of a Physical Education teacher are relevant components of the 21st century skills system and are components of the health competence of a Physical Education teacher whose improvement is an important educational condition for the implementation of the sustainable development concept. The use of digital hemodynamic models, together with dialogical maieutics, reflexive and interactive educational practices, is an effective innovative educational technology that promotes the integrative development of digital skills, critical thinking, and the formation of fundamental and practically oriented morphology-based knowledge of cardiovascular system. Formed digital skills, critical thinking and knowledge of cardiovascular morphophysiology in Physical Education teacher is presented as a personal and intellectual condition for the prevention of sudden cardiac death of children and other cardiac pathology in the educational process during physical activity. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of the use of digital models of hemodynamics to improve the healthsaving competence of Physical Education teachers in postgraduate education through the integrative development of critical thinking and digital skills.
