The findings revealed from the finally obtained 31 articles that, teachers were trained on problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, information and technology integration skills using various strategies. The reviews highlighted the importance of developing a training to support skills of 21st-century based on constructivist and experiential theories.
