“…Because due to fast technological advances, globalization, and immigration, twenty-firstcentury skills have become more critical. These skills should help citizens become lifelong learners who flexibly respond to change, proactively develop their competencies, and thrive in collaborative learning and working environments (Gijsbers & van Schoonhoven, 2012;Kaya & Mertol, 2022;Scott, 2015).…”

Lifelong learning starts in childhood and youth, continuing throughout adulthood and old age. It encompasses formal learning in settings such as schools and training centers, informal and non-formal learning derived from colleagues and workplace trainers, and unintentional learning stemming from spontaneous social interactions. In today's fast-paced world, students need to acquire 21st-century skills and be lifelong learners. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the relationship between students’ perceptions of 21st-century skills and their effective lifelong learning levels. This research aims to investigate the following questions: “What are the students’ levels of success in lifelong learning and their perceptions of 21st-century skills? Is there a relationship between them?” and “Do students’ perceptions of 21st-century skills predict their levels of success in lifelong learning?”. The results indicated that students’ levels of success in lifelong learning and 21st-century skills have a strong correlation. Students have high characteristics that will enable effective lifelong learning, and their perceptions of 21st-century skills are moderate. In addition, students' perceptions of 21st-century skills predict their success levels in lifelong learning at a high rate.

This study investigates the integration of 21st‐century skills into the teaching practices of pre‐service teachers during their off‐campus experiences. Focusing on essential skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, self‐direction, and the use of technology, this research aims to identify which skills are most effectively applied by pre‐service teachers in real‐world settings. Data were collected from 370 final‐year pre‐service teachers using a cross‐sectional design and a tailored survey instrument adapted from Ravitz's work. The findings indicate that pre‐service teachers most frequently integrated technology use and self‐direction into their teaching practices. Conversely, skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and fostering creativity were less commonly applied. No significant gender differences were found in the application of these skills among pre‐service teachers in the Central Region of Ghana. These results reveal insights into the readiness and capabilities of future teachers to integrate essential 21st‐century skills into their teaching practices, underscoring the critical role of teacher education programmes in preparing educators for the demands of modern classrooms. The study highlights the importance of continuous professional development and the incorporation of innovative teaching methodologies to enhance educational outcomes.
