Abstract

This study explores the readiness of Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers in West
Java for 21st-century learning. Utilising a survey research design, an online
questionnaire was distributed via WhatsApp to ECE teachers across multiple regions in
West Java. The survey assessed teacher readiness based on Jan's (2017) characteristics
of 21st-century educators, covering aspects such as student-centred classrooms,
personalised instruction, technology competence, social competence, and continuous
learning. Responses from 186 teachers were analysed using a Likert scale approach,
revealing high readiness in learning management and social competence but moderate
readiness in technology-related competencies. The findings indicate that while
teachers are well-prepared to manage student-centred learning environments, there is
a need for improved ICT training, particularly in areas like using digital tools and social
media for educational purposes. Additionally, while social competence is strong,
continuous professional development in technology integration remains essential. The
study highlights the necessity of targeted professional development programs to
bridge these gaps and ensure teachers are equipped with the skills needed for 21st-
century education. These implications highlight the need for comprehensive teacher
training programs and supportive professional communities to ensure ECE teachers
can effectively meet the demands of modern education. Despite the study's
geographical limitation to West Java and reliance on self-reported data, it provides
valuable insights into the preparedness of ECE teachers. It suggests directions for
future research to expand understanding across diverse contexts.
