This research aimed to: 1) explore the factors influencing 21st-century student skills, 2) examine the impact of blended learning on these skills, and 3) provide insights for developing these skills in vocational students. A survey was conducted with 401 students from Heyuan Vocational and Technical College. The study applied a quantitative analysis using a questionnaire with a reliability of 0.94. Data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, and regression tests.
The results show that blended learning significantly impacts students' 21st-century skills. Key findings include: 1) Personal factors and blended learning both influence skills, with year of study most affecting cross-cultural understanding (C3). 2) Blended learning yields high satisfaction in career self-reliance (C7), cross-cultural understanding (C3), and reading skills (R1). 3) Blended learning positively correlates with satisfaction in developing 21st-century skills. Based on these results, specific blended learning strategies to enhance skill development are recommended.
