“…Therefore, the students were able to distinguish between the useful and less useful contents. to support the world of education (Kivunja, 2015). This is in line with Bawden (2001) explaining that digital literacy is a skill to read and comprehend the information in the form of hypertext and multimedia.…”

Reading comprehension is still considered as a part of new literacy required to encounter the Industry 4.0. Reading comprehension in this era is related to reading the data presented in technology. In addition to students’ ability to understand readings, students sort positive and negative information in a reading through reading comprehension. Students can also get used to utilize the internet access to read various information and stories. Therefore, the presence of the Industry 4.0 is considered to not have negative effects on students. This research focuses on examining the online magazine-based reading workshop model towards the improvement of fourth grade students’ reading comprehension skills. The research employed quasi experiment methods with a nonequivalent group design. The research sample was selected purposively from fourth grade students in primary schools in Cimahi City. The data were collected using the test of reading comprehension skills and were analyzed using inferential statistics with the assistance of the SPSS 21.0 program. Through this research, the researchers are expected that the online magazine-based reading workshop model has an effect on the improvement of the fourth-grade students’ reading comprehension skills.

“…Thus, the link between DL and the promotion of a scientific culture, in formal and/or informal environments, both in the face-to-face teaching modality and in online learning processes is, therefore, critical (Prior, Mazanov, Meacheam, Heaslip, & Hanson, 2016;Knutsson, Blå sjö, Hå llsten, & Karlström, 2012;Kivunja, 2015;Meyers, Erickson, & Small, 2013;Jeffrey et al, 2011).…”

At a time when there is free access to a multitude of information, the knowledge society entails the development and mobilisation of a set of competencies of selection and application of this knowledge in a reasoned and conscious way. It is in this context that higher education should develop its activities, and it is widely recognised that digital literacy encompasses the essential and transversal abilities to any higher level training, that translate into a good preparation for a successful future professionalization. However, sometimes this does not happen; hence, this short communication seeks to reflect on this problem that is central to the training activity in higher education, analysing some implications of this situation, as well as recommendations.

“…A detailed discussion of what the Core Subjects are, the four Support Systems and the five Interdisciplinary Themes is given in Kivunja (2015a, in Press). The skills that comprise the Life and Career set were discussed in detail by Kivunja (2015b), those in the Learning and Innovations skills were unpacked in Kivunja (2014b) and those that comprise the Information, Media and Digital Technologies skills were elucidated in Kivunja (2015c). Thus, the 4Cs are part of the full cohort of 21 st century skills as illustrated in Figure 2.…”

As economies increasingly globalize and digital technologies assume ubiquitous presence and functional utility in peoples' lives outside educational contexts, there is an increasing realization among pedagogues that education designed to equip graduates of the Digital Economy requires the teaching of new skills rather than the traditional core subjects. This realization has led to the emergence of what is called the New Learning Paradigm which postulates that students now need to be taught the skills most in demand in the 21st century. Those skills are epitomized in what The Partnership for 21st Century Skills calls the Framework for 21st Century Skills. Keys among those skills are what The Partnership characterizes as the 4Cs super skills.. What are those skills? Why are they essential for successful learning, teaching, assessment, working and living in today's Digital Economy? How do they align with the full set of 21 st century skills? What are the pedagogical implications of these 4Cs super skills? This paper answers these questions in four steps. Firstly, it articulates the 4Cs super skills. Secondly, it explains the "Rainbow" framework of the full set of essential 21 st century skills as conceptualized by The Partnership for 21 st Century Skills. Thirdly, it outlines Bruner's 5E Instructional Model and explains how it provides an excellent lens through which to approach learning, teaching, assessment and curriculum development for the 4Cs super skills in Kivunja's New Learning Paradigm.
