A Study on the Examination of the 21st-Century Skills of the Personnel Working in the Ministry of Youth and Sports
Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the levels of 21st-century skills among personnel employed at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, with particular consideration of the influence of socio-demographic variables. A total of 369 personnel, comprising 148 women and 221 men, participated in the research on a voluntary basis. During the data collection process, the researchers utilised a Personal Information Form and the Multidimensional 21st Century Skills Scale, which was developed by Çevik and Şentürk (2019). The scale developed by Çevik and Şentürk (2019) comprises five dimensions with a total of 41 items and is structured as a 5-point Likert-type scale. The data were analysed using the statistical software package SPSS 23.0. As the scale scores exhibited a normal distribution, an independent samples t-test was employed to compare the means of two groups, while a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for comparing the means of more than two groups. Upon conclusion of the research, a statistically significant correlation was identified between the scores of the participants with regard to the sub-dimensions of information and technology literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving, entrepreneurship and innovation skills, social responsibility and leadership skills, and career awareness. Upon analysis according to demographic variables, a significant difference was observed in the 21st-century skills of the personnel participating in the research with regard to the variables of professional status and length of service in the institution (p < 0.05). Furthermore, no significant differences were identified in the 21st-century skills of the participants according to gender, marital status, duration of use of information technology tools, age group, education level, or income status (p > 0.05).
