21st-century learning emphasizes student-centered learning and active learning that transforms the role of teachers into facilitators. Teachers act to help students solve problems given to them as a learning process. Therefore, teachers play an important role in determining the learning outcomes that can be achieved. However, previous studies have found that the implementation of 21st-century learning has contributed to various forms of challenges for teachers. Thus, this article discusses the results of a study that successfully identifies the form of challenges faced by novice teachers in implementing 21st-century learning. The study was conducted using qualitative design, in a semi-structured interview with 10 novice teachers of Islamic education secondary school. The findings of the study found that although they successfully applied the pedagogy of 21st Century learning, they had to face several forms of challenges. Two dominant forms of challenge emerge as themes to be discussed in this article. First, the challenges in choosing a learning approach and second; challenges to apply M-learning effectively. The findings of the study have implications for educators, especially novice teachers, to better understand and possess 21st-century skills more effectively in order to be able to provide a new generation that is competitive in the face of life, in line with the rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

This paper presents a conceptual framework on the implementation of Resource Based Learning (RBL) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) class. Resource based learning emerges as the proponent of constructivism as well as a response to the rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) and its influence in education. Digital technologies pose potential opportunities in changing the face of education. The affordances of digital technologies empower more student-centered learning and more accessible educational information. Teaching English for foreign learners is dynamic and requires innovations. Admittedly, most English learners in Indonesia need more exposure to authentic English learning resources, and digital technologies are very potential in accommodating their needs. Resource based learning sets an innovative framework and systematic approach for English educators in designing digital technology-based instructions.

The need for learning innovation is indispensable as a result of the development of the 21st century. In the 21st century learning there is a shift in student-centered learning from teacher-centered learning including physics learning. Physics learning requires innovation by not only doing learning activities in the classroom. Learning that is always done in class will make students become bored. Innovation of learning activities can be done in the laboratory as an appropriate alternative compared to conventional learning in the classroom. On the other hand in learning physics the skills that students must possess are skills in verbal, graphic and mathematical representations (R-VGM). Meaningful Investigation Laboratory (MIL) Learning Model is a 21st century learning innovation. The 21st century learning model has precondition, investigation, report, and reinforcement syntactic. In the first syntax, precondition, the R-VGM skill is developed from the opening question of physical phenomena. In the second syntax, namely investigation, R-VGM skills can be developed from scientific inquiry. In the third syntactic report, R-VGM skills can be developed from reporting the results of scientific investigations in and group discussions. In the fourth syntax, namely reinforcement, R-VGM skills can be developed from the matter of reinforcement. And in the fifth syntactic, reflection, R-VGM skills can be developed from the connection and reinforcement of the learning completed.

21st-century learning emphasizes the concept of student-centered learning, so that learning is more meaningful for students, because students are required not only to do the task but also to understand important concepts. However, the problem now faced is the still low understanding of students' concepts. One reason is the teacher teaching method that is still conventional. The learning model that is considered to improve students' conceptual understanding is guided inquiry with mind map and cooperative type TGT. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of guided inquiry learning model with a mind map and cooperative type TGT on understanding students' concepts. The subjects in this study were seventh-grade students of SMPK St. Yoseph Noelbaki. The data of the research results were analyzed by analysis of one-way variance and descriptive. The results showed that there was an effect of the implementation of a guided inquiry learning model with mind map and cooperative TGT type on students' conceptual understanding, with a probability value (sig.) Of 0.01 smaller than the alpha value of 0.05.

The need to integrate multimedia in the process of teaching and learning at all levels of education is becoming more vital. Multimedia based on e-learning is seen as an effective alternative in teaching and learning process. This method is able to create a student-centered learning where students are encouraged of being independence; study at their own pace and at their own place. Nevertheless, the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in today's world has necessitate a new trend in the presentation of information in the form of Flash Video, which is more easy to understand and accessible instantly to users. The research is undertaken by introducing an e-based multimedia content by maintaining the concept of Gagne Learning Theory. An e-material entitled "Introduction to Computer Programming C++" has been developed containing learning activities that allow users to interact simultaneously with the material. The material is expected to be an effective teaching aid to entice students in the subject of programming.

This chapter informs SME (small and medium enterprise) owners, developers, consultants, and academics with the reasons, means, and possibilities afforded by 21st century technology in helping SMEs to improve their operational efficiencies and discover more effective marketing strategies for their products and services. With the rapid development and broad-based integration of web-based technologies across domains of communication, marketing, e-Commerce, and training, SMEs can benefit greatly by using these inexpensive tools to their advantage. SMEs typically underutilize opportunities to enhance their efficiencies by using more complex e-Business systems, and in so doing under develop the talents of their workforce for innovation and success. This underutilization is not just because of ignorance of technological capabilities, but also from a lack of exposure to leadership and HR development training. Knowing the need to learn must be a strong foundation before technological development can ensue. This chapter provides a synthesis of research and literature across several related, but seldomly connected fields - including, organizational theory, leadership, adult development and learning, 21st century learning, distance learning and human resource management. In developing this chapter, the authors are attempting to communicate the need for SMEs to both develop leadership and technological program developments to implement the changes needed to compete in a marketplace that reflects rapid change and imperfect information.
