##article.authors##

Keywords:

problem-based learning, creativity, criticality, collaboration, communication

Abstract

A systematic literature review was conducted in the database of Tests and Dissertations of Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) database and was restricted to the ten-year period between January 2012 and December 2021. Its purpose was to characterize the studies which, using the active Problem-Based Learning methodology, identified and researched the dimensions and sub-dimensions of the skills: Creativity, Criticality, Collaboration and Communication, treated in this article as 21st century skills. In all, four papers were found that investigated one or more 21st century skills. The results pointed to Collaboration as the most frequently addressed over this period, as well as producing indicators to justify the skills during the research stages. Thus, for example, creativity and criticality flourish with authentic and multifaceted problems, collaboration is revealed when students are encouraged to explore joint solutions and communication becomes effective when presenting solutions to complex problems.
