Abstract

As 21st-century learning skills become increasingly essential in preparing students for global challenges, it is crucial to assess how these competencies are manifested in English language teaching materials. However, existing research on the representation of these skills in widely used textbooks remains limited, highlighting the need for a systematic evaluation. This study investigates the representation of 21st-century learning skills in English language teaching materials through a content analysis of Cutting Edge – Pre-Intermediate by Pearson. Findings reveal an uneven emphasis on these skills—Communication emerges as the most prominent, underscoring its role in fostering interaction and expression. Collaboration follows, highlighting its significance in teamwork and problem-solving. However, Critical Thinking and Creativity receive moderate representation, while Citizenship and Character Education are significantly underrepresented. The disparities suggest the need for a more balanced integration of 21st-century skills to foster holistic student development.

Abstract [Persian]

با توجه به ضرورت روزافزون مهارت‌های یادگیری قرن بیست و یکم در آماده‌سازی دانش‌آموزان برای مواجهه با چالش‌های جهانی، ارزیابی چگونگی تجلی این شایستگی‌ها در مطالب آموزشی زبان انگلیسی حائز اهمیت فراوان است. با این همه، تحقیقات موجود در مورد نمود این مهارت‌ها در کتاب‌های درسی پرکاربرد همچنان محدود است و نیاز به یک ارزیابی سیستماتیک را خاطرنشان می‌کند. این مطالعه، نبازنمایی مهارت‌های یادگیری قرن بیست و یکم را در مطالب آموزشی زبان انگلیسی از طریق تحلیل محتوای کتاب Cutting Edge – Pre-Intermediate نوشته پیرسون بررسی می‌کند. یافته‌ها تأکید نامتوازنی بر این مهارت‌ها را نشان می‌دهد. در این کتاب، مهارت ارتباطی به عنوان برجسته‌ترین مهارت دیده می‌شود که مبین نقش برجسته این مهارت در تقویت تعامل و قدرت است. مهارت همکاری در رتبه بعدی قرار دارد و اهمیت آن را در کار گروهی و حل مسئله نشان می­دهد.  در مقابل، مهارت تفکر انتقادی و خلاقیت، نمود متوسطی در این کتابها دارند، در حالی که آموزش­های شهروندی و شخصیت به طور قابل توجهی کمتر مورد توجه قرار گرفته‌اند. این بازنمایی نامتوازن نشان دهنده ضرورت توجه متعادل‌ به مهارت‌های قرن بیست و یکم برای ارتقاء رشد جامع زبان­آموزان است.
