The sample of this research included 19 third-year students studying in Program Computer, Faculty of Education and Educational Innovations at Kalasin University. Research instruments include 1) an evaluation form probing the efficiency of the 21st-century skills learning plan was found that a value index balance of 1.00; 2) an achievement test was, the item difficulty ranged between 0.44-0.69, the item discrimination ranged between 0.50-0.88, the overall reliability was 0.95; 3) an evaluation form of the 21st-century skills was found that value index balance 1.00 and 4) a satisfaction questionnaire was found that the overall reliability was 0.80. The research statistics used were mean, percentage, standard deviation and effective index.               

           The research results were as follows: 1. The appropriate evaluation of the promoting 21st (4Cs) century skills in critical thinking and problem-solving in creativity-based learning of computer graphic plan was at the highest level, and 2. The trial results of the 21st-century skills learning plan had three components: 1) knowledge of effectiveness index was 0.70 or 70%, 2) critical thinking and problem-solving skill was at the highest level, and 3) the satisfaction of students with the 21st-century skills (4Cs) was in the highest level.
