Özet:

 The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of senior pre-service science teachers regarding 21st-century skills according to geographical regions and grade point average categories. The current study was designed as survey research. The research involved 249 senior pre-service science teachers from education faculties in seven geographical regions of Turkey. The researcher used the Personal Information Form and the Multidimensional 21st Century Skills Scale as data collection tools. The Cronbachs alpha reliability coefficient of the scale for the current study is 0.91. The Kruskal-Wallis H test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. As a result of the research, there was a statistically significant difference in the perceptions of general 21st century skills among pre-service science teachers based on their academic average categories, favoring those with high averages. Among the sub-factors, there was a statistically significant difference in academic average categories for information and technology literacy and career awareness skills, favoring those with high academic averages. However, there was no difference in the other sub-factors. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in pre-service science teachers perceptions of their general 21st century skills based on geographical regions. There was a statistically significant difference in critical thinking and problem-solving skills, one of the subfactors, in favor of regions other than the Southeastern Anatolia Region, according to geographical region categories, while there was no difference in the other subfactors.

 Bu araştırmada son sınıfta öğrenim gören fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının 21. yüzyıl becerilerine yönelik algıları coğrafi bölge ve akademik ortalama kategorilerine göre incelenmiştir. Araştırma tarama çalışması olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmaya Türkiyenin yedi coğrafi bölgesindeki eğitim fakültelerinin son sınıfında öğrenim gören 249 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu ile Çok Boyutlu 21. Yüzyıl Becerileri Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Mevcut araştırma için ölçeğin Cronbach Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı 0.91 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Kruskal-Wallis H testi ve Mann-Whitney U testiden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda son sınıf fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının 21. yüzyıl becerilerine yönelik algıları akademik ortalama kategorileri açısından ortalaması yüksek olanlar lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermiştir. Ölçeğin alt faktörlerinden bilgi ve teknoloji okuryazarlığı ile kariyer bilinci faktörlerinde akademik ortalaması yüksek olan öğretmen adayları lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu belirlenirken, girişimcilik ve inovasyon, eleştirel düşünme ve problem çözme ile sosyal sorumluluk ve liderlik faktörlerinde istatistiksel olarak bir farklılığın olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının 21. yüzyıl becerilerine yönelik algıları coğrafi bölgelere göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Coğrafi bölgeler açısından öğretmen adaylarının eleştirel düşünme ve problem çözme becerileri alt faktörü Güney Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi dışındaki bölgeler lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık gösterirken, diğer alt faktörlerde istatistiksel olarak bir farklılık saptanmamıştır.
