21st Century Skills and Education
Great events in history have always brought about great changes in the lifestyles of humans. Every invention, every great war and every discovery has challenged the ways in which people lived up until that point. The 21st century bears the effects of various advancements in several different parts of human life. Sometimes it is called a “space age”, sometimes an “information age”, or a “computer age”. Some people have called it a digital age, or new media age too. However it is named, the time in which we live has challenged the lifestyles of the past and has brought about new requirements in skills and practices. Media literacy, leadership, critical thinking, and problem solving, are among the new skills required by the 21st century. However, the relationship between these skills and education has not yet been fully established. To this end, this book discusses these skills through theoretical and empirical studies in the context of Turkey.

DİJİTALLEŞME BAĞLAMINDA BİREY, TOPLUM VE İLETİŞİM
İnsanlık tarihine teknolojik determinizm ekseninde yaklaşan pek çok iletişim tarihçisi ve düşünür, onu iletişim araçlarının tarihiyle özdeşleştirmektedir. Buna göre tarih boyunca insanoğlu, çeşitli iletişim araçlarını icat ederek faaliyet ve etki alanını sürekli genişletmiştir. McLuhan’ın tabiriyle, “insanlık kullanmak üzere icat ettiği bu aletleri biçimlendirdiği gibi sonrasında bu aletler de insanoğlunu biçimlendirmiş ve biçimlendirmektedir”. Tarihsel olarak önceki teknolojik ilerleme ve atılımlarda olduğu gibi McLuhan’ın tespitinin günümüzün yaygınlaşan dijital iletişim ortam ve teknolojileri açısından da yerli yerinde durduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Nitekim günümüzde etkisini her geçen gün artıran dijitalleşme, akıllı cihazlar ile bunları işlevsel kılan internet altyapısı ve yazılım teknolojileri mucidi olan insanlığı ve onun inşa ettiği her türlü yapı ile kurumu sürekli surette yeniden biçimlendirmektedir.
Reading Clocks, Alla Turca
Reading Clocks, Alla Turca explores the technological and social aspects of Ottoman temporal culture, where religious and secular powers competed and colluded for authority, the army tried to rationalize its systems of training and communication, and schoolboys complained about how long classes were. The conflicts that played out on the field of temporal systems were not along the axes one might expect, with secular, urban, rationalist, modernizing, and Europeanizing forces arrayed against rural, traditional, religious, and nationalist people and parties. Rather, religious institutions saw the rationalization of temporal culture as a way to extend their authority (the muezzin s call to praye...
