The Level of Knowledge and Readiness of Teachers and Their Relationship to The Implementation of 21st Century Learning

Abstract

21^st century learning (PAK-21) is an important requirement of today’s education system to face global challenges and needs. However, there are still various obstacles to realizing these things, among which are related to teachers and infrastructure facilities. The aim of the study is to identify the level of knowledge and willingness of teachers to implement PAK-21. The study uses a quantitative design through a survey method with 155 teachers from Rompin District, Pahang. Data analysis using mean value, standard deviation, and correlation was done through SPSS 29 software. According to the study’s findings, teachers are well knowledgeable and prepared to use PAK-21. Furthermore, there is a moderate correlation between the willingness of teachers to adopt PAK-21 and their level of understanding. The study’s implications clarify that in order for teachers to possess excellent skills, they must be provided with comprehensive understanding of PAK-21. It is also imperative that schools have facilities that fulfil PAK-21 requirements in order to facilitate effective learning.
