Abstract

In the world and in Türkiye, the 21st century skills have occupied a very large place and many studies have been conducted. Although the 21st century skills have emerged with the expectations of the business world, the training of the manpower expected by the business world depends on the education that people receive. This has led to the research on the educational aspect of 21st century skills. While there are many studies on 21st century skills related to education in Türkiye, there is no comprehensive study on 21st century skills associated with education. In this study, the years and purposes of the studies on 21st century skills related to education in Türkiye, the data collection methods used, the 21st century skills that were addressed in the studies, and the results that were reached are analyzed in detail. It is expected that the analysis will shed light on those who work and will work on 21st century skills.
