Özet:

Business leaders, experts, organizations, and educators have come together to make classifications about the skills that individuals who can adapt to the world of this century and achieve success should have. These skills, which are expressed as 21st-century skills, need to be developed and supported from early childhood, which includes the most critical years of life. The importance of 21st-century skills that have a place in both government policies and education system of some countries, and the necessity of including them in the education system is a topic that has been emphasized in Turkey in recent years. Therefore, it is extremely important to address 21st century skills in the early childhood. Children's 21st century skills can be supported by some practices and methods that can be sustained in early childhood. Activities such as educational drama, creative drama, educational game, station and brainstorming that aim to understand the active participation, differences and feelings of the child and support technology literacy can be given as examples of these practices. In addition, these skills need to be integrated with all components of the educational environment and assessed through effective formative assessment methods, providing engaging learning opportunities in child-specific contexts.
