摘要：The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between the perceptions
of primary school teachers about their proficiencies in terms of 21st century skills
and their perceptions in relation to managing constructivist learning environments
by means of structural equation modeling (SEM). The sample of the study included
the classroom teachers from the province of Eskişehir. One hundred eighty-four
females and 88 male teacher participated to the study. 21st century skills scale and
TCLES were used to derive teacher perceptions regarding their proficiencies in
21st century skills and their use of constructivist approaches in the classrooms. The
results revealed that 21st century skills were positively related to teachers’
perceptions of the constructivist learning environment. Based on these results, a
simple implication could be that when the teachers possess strong perceptions in
relation to problem solving, critical thinking, cooperation, communication and
creativity, they may appear to provide their students with learning environments
that are more open to students’ inquiry and investigation and that are thus more
conducive to positive student attitudes.
