Different 21st Century Skills Among Z Generation in The Higher Education Based On The Level of Students, and Gender Difference

“…The difference in skills, especially in the 21st century, that students have is not only in the aspect of the study program but also at the level of study for early students and final year students. The results of Barriyah's and Werdiningsih's research (Bariyyah, 2021;Werdiningsih, 2022) state that this difference is influenced by the fact that final-year students tend to dominate and have had many interactions and environmental experiences in the learning process, which are more optimal than early-level students. In addition, based on the results of research by Gómez & Yáñez (2021) that other factors that influence the difference in 21st-century skills of students in terms of gender, girls have a terrible perception of their digital skills, as well as a lower tendency towards technology than boys, so that male students are more skilled in utilizing information technology and more suited to digital interests (Hämäläinen et al, 2021).…”
