In the study, single survey, causal-comparative and correlational survey research models are used. The study group of the research consists of 228 students studying at the sixth, seventh and eighth grade in a public middle school. In this research, 21st Century Learning Skills Inventory and STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) are used as data collection tools. In the analysis of quantitative data, descriptive statistical techniques, independent samples t-test, one-way variance (ANOVA) analysis, and Pearson moments multiplication correlation coefficient are used. Discoveries of this study point out that 21st century learning skills of middle school students and levels of interest towards career in STEM fields of these students are above the average. According to the gender variable, while there was no significant difference among 21st century learning skills, there was a significant difference in terms of technology among interest in the career in STEM fields. In terms of class level, the significant difference regarding active learning, learning to learn, and problem solving is between sixth and eighth grade students, and it is in favor of the sixth grade students. Among the interest in career in STEM fields, the significant difference regarding science, mathematics, and technology is between sixth and eighth grade students, and it is in favor of the sixth grade students.  \nOn the other hand, middle and low-level positive and meaningful relations have been found between the 21st century learning skills of middle school students and their interest in career in STEM fields. Consequently, some suggestions were made in the light of the findings.  \nKey words: 21st century learning skills, middle school, interest in STEM career  \n1. Introduction  \nIn our current age of knowledge and informatics, in other words, information besides new social transformation there are also changes in economical, political and cultural fields (Göker, 2001) . Especially the increase of scientific activity, the rapid rise of technology, growth of access to information possibilities and change of needs brings new roles to individuals of the current age, which features individual differences. In this manner, both social expectations have been differentiated and individual skills such as problem-solving, creativity, analytical thinking, ratiocination, flexibility, adaptability and communication referred to as 21st century skills, have standed out (National Research Council [NRC], 2011) . The overall approach, proved by the studies on 21st century skills, underlines that individuals need to gain skills such as high-level thinking, creativity, innovativeness, information and communication technology (Bozkurt & Çakır, 2016) . As a matter of fact, as an important study and a way of practice with STEM education, which includes science, mathematics, technology, and engineering the significance of these skills increased. STEM approach, instead of teaching science, mathematics, technology, and engineering separately, aims at a more qualified education perceptive by establishing an effective connection between these disciplines (Kennedy & Odell, 2014) . STEM leads to a transformation towards multidisciplinary education rather than addressing these disciplines separately (Riechert & Post 2010) . In addition to these, to ensure that individuals know different interdisciplinary approaches closely and to increase the tendency towards professions based on these disciplines are among the basic approaches of STEM education (Dabney et al., 2012; Carnevale, Smith, & Melton, 2011) .  \nCountries' desire to have a say in the globalizing world and the expectation of over","cbCaicV903UERskh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicV903UERskh","pdf",350360,13,"English","# Abstract\n## Study design and participants\n## Instruments and data analysis\n## Key findings\n# 1.
