Abstract :21st-century learning and innovation skills hold a significant position in contemporary educational paradigms and play a crucial role in the educational planning carried out by the Ministry of National Education. These skills enable individuals to develop into more productive, creative, and leadership-oriented, as well as effective persons. In this context, there emerged a necessity to develop a valid and reliable scale to accurately measure students’ perceptions regarding these skills. Accordingly, the developed scale was administered to a total of 630 students studying in various schools across different cities in Türkiye. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on data obtained from 309 students, while confirmatory factor analysis was applied to data from 321 students. Statistical analyses revealed that the scale consists of 18 items and encompasses three fundamental factors. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient for the entire scale was calculated as .86, whereas the reliability coefficients for the subfactors ranged between .68 and .95. These comprehensive findings strongly indicate that the developed scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring students’ perceptions of twenty-first century learning and innovation skills.
