Authors
Dr. Asha Menon
Abstract
The development of 21st-century skills in preschool
children is increasingly recognized as essential for fostering critical
thinking, creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy at an early age. This
review examines various strategies, educational frameworks, and theoretical
perspectives that support the cultivation of these skills in young learners.
The study explores the role of play-based learning, interactive technologies,
and teacher-led activities in promoting cognitive and social-emotional development.
Additionally, it highlights the importance of integrating these skills into
early childhood curricula to prepare children for the demands of a rapidly
changing world. Challenges such as resource limitations, curriculum rigidity,
and the need for teacher training are also discussed. The review concludes by
emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that blends traditional learning
methods with innovative, child-centered pedagogies, thereby ensuring that
preschool children develop the necessary skills to thrive in the 21st century.
