This research aimed to evaluate the teaching performance of high school mathematics teachers in the light of the twenty-first century skills. Two research tools were prepared: a list of the skills of the twenty-first century, and a questionnaire of “twenty-first century skills among mathematics teachers” that consisted of (22) A single item divided into five responses which are (very important - important - medium important - low importance - unimportant), and included six models for learning in the twenty-first century (collaborative work - knowledge building - self-organization - problem solving and innovation in the real world - the use of technology For learning - methods of presentation and communication with skill), and the results indicated the necessity of working to improve the teaching performance of mathematics teachers at the secondary level in a manner commensurate with the skills of the twenty-first century, as the research reached a number of recommendations and proposals.

In response to recent concerns expressed by Indian industry about the ‘employability’ of school and university graduates, this article examines the role of pedagogy in developing life skills (or twenty-first-century skills) and how these can be incorporated in the school/university curriculum. Recent curricular frameworks have incorporated life skills within the school curriculum by stressing the importance of inquiry and collaborative work through all subjects taught in school. The article finds a similar emphasis in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) in India, but classroom observations and textbook analyses show that learning objectives in schools are frequently incorrect or misaligned with the NCF vision. The article briefly touches on how the beliefs of teachers affect their classroom practices and recommends that attention should be paid to the professionalisation of teachers, as only then can students acquire skills that are relevant for the twenty-first century, which is what employers want.

Twenty-first century skills are a set of capabilities and competencies that students need to cultivate and develop to succeed in the age of information and technology. The success and growth of today's youth in the labour market and the knowledge economy depend on the level of 21st century skills they possess. Hence the key objective of this study was to answer the questions: to what extent do the youth possess 21st century skills? Is there a difference between levels of 21st century skills on account of various demographic variables? The researchers used the descriptive survey method and selected 160 college students randomly from various higher education institutions of Kerala, the southern part of India, for the study. The significant findings of this study revealed that 15.6% have a Low level, 68.1% have an Average level, 16.3% have a high level of 21st-century skills. No significant difference exists between males and females and stream of subjects of college students with respect to the level of 21st century skills, but there is a substantial difference between the youth who belong to the urban and rural locality.

Abstract Until 2010 (when it was broken by a tourist), a curious Kufic-inscribed sandstone block greeted those who entered the narthex of the eleventh-century church of Wuqro Cherqos in East Tigray, Ethiopia. My paper identifies the origin of this misunderstood fragment and presents it in the longue durée, from its architectural placement as part of an inscribed arch in the great mosque of a Fatimid trading colony to its medieval spoliation and use as a chancel arch in the church of Wuqro Cherqos, after northern Ethiopia emerged as a centralized power under the Zagwe dynasty. As the chancel in Wuqro Cherqos, the stone took on new meaning as a luxurious liturgical threshold, complementing the Egyptian and Indian silks that hung alongside it. After the arch came apart in the late 1990s, I show how modern Ethiopian scholars promoted the remaining Arabic-inscribed fragment as an ancient Ethiopian inscription. The life story of this stone fragment reveals a larger picture of Islam’s changing reception in Ethiopia from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century.

Using first-hand interviews conducted with playwright Nicholas Wright and composer Jonathan Dove, this article discusses the adaptation and production process behind the Royal National Theatre's staging of His Dark Materials. It suggests that an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach was essential in bringing Pullman's epic to the stage. Different combinations of dialogue, music, scenic design, staging and puppetry allowed the production to convey detailed character histories and complex emotional experiences, and cover vast geographies, distilling the essence of the compelling epic. In leaving the structure of the interdisciplinary collaboration transparent, this article argues that the director, Nicholas Hytner, and his team invited the audience to enter the worlds of the play as participants in the collaborative work, free to mould their own experience of the heroes' adventures, and complete the adaptation with their own imagination. This twenty-first-century Gesamtkunstwerk bears comparison with Wagner's Ring cycle of music dramas.

With a performative and unlikely coupling of rabbinic commentary and postmodern filmmaking that pivots around the vagaries of storytelling, this chapter aims to circulate air not only within the crowded spaces it has explored in the previous four chapters but also inside the classical textual precincts that JS has traditionally made its own. If this book had been authored by a different category of disciplinarian—historian, social scientist, or theologian—this final chapter would most likely not be juxtaposing an eleventh-century Northern-French Torah commentator and twenty-first-century American filmmakers or the contrasting narrative strategies of renarration and denarration in Genesis 24 and A Serious Man, respectively. By performing just that sort of interreading, Jewish Studies as Counterlife concludes on the note on which it began, picking up the thread of a Jewish Studies story that hasn’t quite materialized or been recounted with a level of invention that matches its own unfolding.

The Spanish-Muslim fortification of the Burriana’s medina (Castellón)This communication aims to publicize the latest archeological findings related to the Spanish-Muslim wall of Burriana, obtained thanks to the interventions carried out throughout the twenty-first century, in which new sectors and towers of the wall have been evidenced, and that they also clarify some ancient historical and archaeological news about the fortification. We highlight the documentation of the construction technique of the wall, which provides interesting data on its chronology, recently established around the eleventh century. The relationship between the defensive structure and other recent archaeological findings associated with this period are examined, such as some necropolis and elements of the urban plot. Finally, an analysis of the historical and territorial context of the defensive structure and the Spanish-Muslim city will be carried out, since Burriana’s medina was an important administrative and commercial center, a stopping point on the land route between Tortosa and Valencia, and cited as an amal that also had a seaport, according to some sources. We do not forget that the madīna is also a prominent enclave in the historical events related to the Christian razzias of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and in the subsequent process of conquest of the kingdom of Valencia at the beginning of the thirteenth century, as reflected in the chronicles of the time.

This collaborative work – edited by IAIS Principal Research Fellow and Co-Chair (Publications) Dr. Christoph Marcinkowski of Germany - is a treasure trove of economic and political data across many different areas. The contributors organise data that generally is not found in one place, and their assessment of the  data illuminates the Malaysia-EU connection.
