/in /by

This study aims to develop a learning model that enhances 21st-century skills and character development among university-level students. Skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration with character are crucial for facing the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Society 5.0. Therefore, an appropriate learning model is needed for both schools and higher education institutions. The learning model developed in this research is the KoPI Lokal Islami, which integrates cooperative, project-based, and inquiry-based learning with local wisdom and Islamic values. This model was developed using the Dick and Carey Development Model. The outcomes of this study include the KoPI Lokal Islami Learning Model, teaching materials, 21st-century skills assessment tools, and character assessment instruments for prospective science teachers at the university level. Based on expert evaluations and small group testing, the KoPI Lokal Islami Learning Model is deemed highly suitable for implementation. Feedback from students (89 participants) also strongly supports the application of this model in fostering 21st-century skills and character development.

As the twentieth century gives way to the twenty-first, the world is undergoing a profound transformation that may be described as a paradigm shift on a global scale. The way we view student learning has evolved. As a result of this shift in perspective, many countries have revised their curricula to become more learner-centered, incorporating elements of formal, non-formal, and informal instruction. Teaching and learning strategies that emphasize the three types of skills—learning skills, literacy skills, and life skills—are the most effective way to give students a head start on the 21st-century abilities they’ll need to succeed in school and in the workplace. Meaningful learning will result when learners engage in knowledge construction conversation, articulation, collaboration, and reflection. The students learn meaningfully when they are will-fully engaged in a joyful task. Joyful Learning enables the learners to improve their 21stcentury skills as it helps students feel like they’re making progress as they’re studying, which is reassuring for a child. In the present research, the investigator has engaged learners (primary class students) in ‘Classroom shows’ related to subject-oriented presentations. Teacher instructor created a joyful learning environment for the learners to perform in a plethora of activities in the form of role plays, stories, songs, dance, recitation, games, puzzles etc. The Performance of learners was based on the assigned task integrating-communication, collaboration, critical-thinking and creativity skills.
