المناهج و مهارات القرن الحادي و العشرين

Abstract EN

This research paper attempted to focus on twenty-first-century skills and their importance in school curricula.

A historical overview of these skills' development was presented.

They were classified into three basic skills: learning and innovation skills, professional and life skills, and digital literacy skills.

Although twenty-first-century skills were included in the current curriculum objectives and there is an emphasis on their necessity for the learner, these curricula are still a reflection of the traditional philosophy of education.

This philosophy considers that knowledge has value in itself.

Therefore the content is based mainly on knowledge with few activities that are not related to twenty-first-century skills.

To overcome this problem, the basic approaches that should be followed in building curricula were presented to provide the learner with these skills and their development
