Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the skill levels of 21st century learners and the relationship between these skills. The sample of this study, which is conducted with correlational research design, was determined by the convenient sampling method. The participants of the study consisted of 183 students in total studying at Atatürk University. Correlational and descriptive analysis techniques were used to analyze the data which was collected viaComputationalThinkingScale,DigitalLiteracyScaleandEffective Communication Skills Scale.Whenthedescriptivefindingswereexamined,itwas understood that the students generally had most of the skills but experienced ambivalence about the algorithmic thinking skills. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was found that critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, empathy and active-participative listening were significantly related to all variables. On the other hand, digital literacy skills were found to be significantly correlated with all variables examined in the scope of the study, exceptI-language.Itwasdeterminedthattherelationshipbetweenegosupportive language,active-participativelistening, self-recognition/self-disclosure,andI-language skillsandalgorithmicthinkingwasnotsignificant.Thevariableswiththehighest correlation coefficient were found to be creativity and critical thinking.
