A quantitative research design was adopted in this study. Research data were collected from appropriate sampling 622 4th-grade students attending public schools in a city center located in the central region of Turkey.“Students’ Perception of 21st Century Learning Practices Scale” was adminisrated as data collection tool. In the anlysis of the obtained data, t test and regression analysis are used. It was concluded that students’ perceptions towards thinking skills were above average in the sub-dimensions of critical thinking, creative thinking, and authentic problem solving and knowledge creation efficiency. As a result of t-tests it was concluded that the educational status of the father, having preschool education and having a computer differ significantly according to some sub-dimensions. As a result of the regression analysis, it was concluded that the variables based on Chai et al. (2015) that explain the knowledge creation efficacy are creative thinking, authentic problem solving, self-directed learning and critical thinking. The study results showed that providing rich learning practices related to teaching thinking skills to students creates positive learning outcomes. This research results also indicated that the students participating in the study had similar perceptions with the students who had rich learning practices.  \nKeywords: 21st century learning practices, Primary school student, 21st century skills, Knowledge creation efficacy, Student’s perceptions  \nINTRODUCTION  \n21st century education aims to educate students, ensuring that they have a creative and entrepreneurial potential that will enable them to cope with changing world conditions. To date, there is no clear consensus on the 21st-century learning models to be implemented in schools (Voogt et al., 2013) . However, researchers largely agree on \"what the students will learn,\" \"what kind of learning opportunities will be offered to them,\" and \"how to create the best learning environments.\" In 21stcentury learning environments, effective teachers and students work together to solve educational problems and achieve appropriate learning outcomes (Larson, Miller, & Ribble, 2010) . Another issue on which consensus is reached on how 21st-century learning environments should be is that teaching should be based on various dimensions of 21st-century skills (Thang & Koh, 2017) . Some researchers agree that twenty-first century learning experiences should help students to develop the different kinds of twenty-first century competencies (Koh, Chai, & Lim, 2016) . Chai, Deng, Tsai, Koh, and Tsai (2015) suggest critical thinking, creative thinking, and authentic problem solving as key thinking processes of 21st-century learning. The environments in which students work collaboratively are important in teaching socio-cultural communication and conflict resolution, which are considered  \nCitation: Yaşar, S., Boyacı, Ş . D.
