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.

Öz

İş dünyası liderleri, uzmanlar, kuruluşlar ve eğitimciler bir araya gelerek içinde bulunduğumuz yüzyılın dünyasına uyum sağlayabilen ve başarıya ulaşabilen bireylerin sahip olması gereken beceriler konusunda sınıflandırmalar yapmışlardır. 21. yüzyıl becerileri olarak ifade edilen bu becerilerin, yaşamın en kritik yıllarını kapsayan erken çocukluk döneminden itibaren geliştirilmesi ve desteklenmesi gereklidir. Bazı ülkelerin hem devlet politikası hem de eğitim sisteminde yer edinen 21. yüzyıl becerilerinin önemi ve eğitim sistemi içerisinde yer verilmesi gerekliliği son yıllarda Türkiye’de de üzerinde durulan bir konudur. Bu nedenle erken çocukluk döneminde 21. yüzyıl becerilerinin ele alınması son derece önemlidir. Erken çocukluk döneminde sürdürülebilecek birtakım uygulama ve yöntemlerle çocukların 21. yüzyıl becerileri desteklenebilir. Çocuğun aktif katılımını, farklılıkları ve duyguları anlamayı amaçlayan ve teknoloji okuryazarlığını destekleyebilecek eğitici drama, yaratıcı drama, eğitsel oyun, istasyon ve beyin fırtınası gibi etkinlikler bu uygulamalara örnek olarak verilebilir. Ayrıca bu becerilerin eğitim ortamının tüm bileşenleriyle bütünleştirilmesi ve çocuklara özgü bağlamlarda, ilgi çekici öğrenme fırsatlarıyla sunularak etkili biçimlendirici değerlendirme yöntemleriyle değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.
