SUPER TEACHERS OF 21ST CENTURY
Integrating non-formal teaching methods into school curriculum and developing digital competences to support 21st century youngsters at schools.
It is an obvious reality that we as teachers are in X-Y generation while our students come from y-z generation. There is a great generation gap between us and them. So, they learn in a different way from us. Therefore, we must change our teaching and learning styles, we must add modernity to the way of implementing our profession and we need to improve our horizon being international in our professional career.
Nowadays, the youth is engaged in the virtual World more day by day and they are getting lonelier. To transfer this asocial behavior to a more active and social one, we, as teachers need to renew ourselves both in digital World and in the field of non-formal education. Non-formal education methods and digital capabilities will help us to be models in the class not just authority in front of the 21st century students.
