The century of learning and renewal skills is gathered with the scale of learning and renewal skills (21. The scale was studied by the Council for Scientific Research and Publishing Ethics of the University of Afyon Kocatepe and found ethically appropriate (Decision Date and Number: 18.12.2020-270). The sample of the study consisted of 811 students who studied in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th classes of high schools determined by the simple random sample method in Kütahya Central district. In the analysis of the data obtained from the study, the frequency and percentage values were used for the purpose of determining the distribution, the t-test for non-related samples and the one-way variance analysis technique for determining the significance of the difference between the variables. The study found that the average scores that students obtained from the lower dimensions and the whole of the 21STE scale were high. The high level of average scores has shown that students often use their learning and renewal skills at a level. The analysis found that there were no significant differences between the students’ scores according to the class variable, while there were significant differences in terms of gender, their parents’ education, their mothers’ education and their monthly income. These findings have been interpreted in the form that the curriculum revised according to current approaches and the learning experiences students spend in their school and social environments have an impact on the development of the 21st century learning and renewal skills. The research was proposed to diversify the studies to support the data obtained at the end of the study and to conduct semi-experimental and qualitative studies in this direction.
