This study aims to identify the level of awareness of science teachers at the intermediate stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of the skills of the twenty-first century. The study sample consisted of (93) randomly chosen male (n= 48) and female (n= 45) teachers. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used a descriptive survey method. The study tool was a questionnaire that consisted of (57) skills distributed over eight domains. The results of the study showed that the level of science teachers' awareness of the skills of the twenty-first century was high, and that there was a statistically significant difference in the level of science teachers' awareness of the skills of the twenty-first century due to gender in favor of females. There was no statistically significant difference in the level of science teachers' awareness of the skills of the twenty-first century. The study recommends including science curricula and programs for preparing science teachers for the skills of the twenty-first century and conducting similar studies on science teachers at various academic levels.
