Abstract
Background: 21st Century skills are important abilities that today’s nursing students need to succeed in their careers during the Information Age.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine 1) the 21st century skills of nursing students, 2) the relationship between learning factors and the 21st century skills, and 3) the predictors of the 21st century skills.
Methods: This descriptive study used a stratified random sampling technique to recruit 172 nursing students from Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Sawanpracharak Nakhonsawan. The questionnaires about learning factors and 21st century skills were used to gather the data. The reliability by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was .89 and .87, respectively. Data were analyzed by using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Chi-square, and Stepwise multiple regression.
Results: The findings in this study demonstrated that: 1) the 21st century skills of nursing students were at a good level ( = 3.94). Their learning & professional skills, ICT skill, and creative thinking & innovative skills were 4.15, 4.12, and 3.66, respectively. 2) The ten learning factors - learning styles, learning motive, self-directed learning, relationships among friends, curriculums, teaching quality, supervision systems, students’ activities, learning environment, and classroom atmosphere, were correlated with the 21st century skills of nursing students at a significant level ( r = .54, .56, .60, .54, .62,
.57, 53, .51, .44, and .63 respectively, p<.01). 3) The predictors were learning environment, self-directed learning, quality of teaching, and learning styles. These four predictors explained approximately 57.30 % of the variance in the 21st century skills of nursing students.
Conclusions: The findings of this study lead to recommendations that providing nursing students with a good learning environment and promotion of their self-directed learning competency could help them to develop 21st century skills.
