According to the result of the analysis, 4-factor scale consisting of 20 items was obtained. The Cronbach Alpha Coefficient was calculated to reveal the internal consistency of the scale and it was found to be 0.84. According to the result of CFA, fit indexes were calculated as X2 / df = 3. 56, NFI = 0.94, NNFI = 0.95, RFI = 0.93, CFI = 0.96, GFI = 0. 88, AGFI = 0.85, SRMR = 0.073, IFI = 0.96. The life and career skills of students studying at universities were measured by \"Life and Career Skills Scale\" developed by the researchers.  \nContribution/ Originality: Although there are many 21st century skill scales in the literature, life and career skills scales are limited. In this context, this study is an important contribution to the literature as it measures the life and career skills of university students.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nAlthough there is a general tendency in the literature about what 21st-century skills are, there are also different opinions. According to P21, Partnership for 21st Century Learning, which is a national nonprofit organization advocating for 21st century skills in the classroom, these skills include several key elements and they are divided into the 4 C’s of 21st century learning: critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2020) . In the literature, the general framework of 21st-century skills known as P21 is shown in Figure 1.  \nAs shown in Figure 1, P21 includes key subjects (3Rs: English, reading and language arts, world languages, arts, mathematics, economics, science, geography, history, government, and civic knowledge), i) learning that consists of three main skill areas referred to as innovation skills, ii) knowledge, media, and technology skills and iii) life and career skills (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2020) .  \n21st century skills are the skills that facilitate the adaptation of the individual to change, develop the structure of resilience, produce projects, and achieve productive results, create awareness against global problems as well as individual rights and freedoms within the framework of mutual respect. These skills form the basis of a society  \nconsisting of individuals with a high sense of duty and responsibility","cbCais8cUVeM760G","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais8cUVeM760G","pdf",520059,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n## 21st-century skills framework (P21)\n## Life and career skills dimensions","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To develop a valid and reliable scale that determines the life and career skills of university students.\"},{\"question\":\"How were EFA and CFA samples obtained?\",\"answer\":\"EFA was conducted with 396 university students in Turkey, and CFA data were collected from 439 students.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main psychometric results of the developed scale?\",\"answer\":\"A four-factor scale with 20 items was obtained, with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.84, and CFA fit indices such as CFI = 0.96 and SRMR = 0.073.\"}]","DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE AND CAREER SKILLS SCALE FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS | PDF",1792073351,35]
