While the questionnaire about 21st century skills yielded a value of 0.99. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, means, standard deviations, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The results of the study showed as follows:
1. Level of factors supporting student development activities was at a high level, (79.76%), and the 21st century skills among nursing students were at a high level (88.95%).
2. Factors that influenced skills development of 21st were namely: quality of student development activities, the process of organizing development activities, staff/lecturers, and the GPA could predict their learning skills in 79.2%.
