With the rapid globalization, the skills that today's individuals should have are changing. These modern skills are defined as 21st century skills. In this study, it is aimed to examine the learning outcomes in the third and fourth grades of 2018 Science Curriculum (FBDÖP) in terms of 21st century skills defined by P21 (2019a), which is generally accepted in the literature. For this purpose, document analysis, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The data of the research constitute the learning outcomes of the third and fourth grades. A total of 79 learning outcomes, including 36 learning outcomes for the third grade and 43 learning outcomes for fourth grade, have been studied. The research data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. In order to reduce the possibility of errors in the analysis of research data, experts were consulted. As a result of the research, it was determined that the most frequently used skills in the curriculum are critical thinking and problem solving. This is followed by communication, creativity and innovation, initiative and self-direction skills. Also, collaboration, information literacy, media literacy, flexibility and adaptability, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability, leadership and responsibility skills are less involved in the curriculum. However, there is no learning outcome in the curriculum for information communications and technology literacy skills. Based on this, it is determined that the learning outcomes in the curriculum are not distributed equally to these skill groups. While preparing the curriculum, considering the 21st century skills, it can be suggested to provide a balanced distribution as much as possible.
