Teacher’s Strategies For Integrating 21 st Century Competencies Into Elementary School Instruction At Muhammadiyah 01 Elementary School In Tanggul Jember

Abstract

This study aims to analyze teachers’ strategies for integrating 21st-century competencies, the forms of their application in learning activities, and the relationship between planning, implementation, and assessment at SD Muhammadiyah 01 Tanggul Jember. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and a review of instructional materials, and were then analyzed using an interactive analysis model that included data condensation, data presentation, and the drawing and verification of conclusions. The findings indicate that the integration of 21st-century competencies is realized through information analysis, discussions, group work, product creation, presentations, and reflection. Javanese language learning materials and co-curricular activities demonstrate the interconnection between fostering creativity, communication, collaboration, the use of technology, and process- and product-based assessment. The main findings of this study confirm that the integration of 21st-century competencies cannot be achieved merely by including indicators in learning materials; rather, it requires coherence among learning objectives, task design, collaborative activities, the production of works, the communication of results, and assessment.
