Teachers’ Readiness Towards Digital Adoption in Teaching Towards Society 5.0

Abstract

With temporary closures and the difficulty of face-to-face instruction, the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has had a huge influence on global social, economic, and cultural life. It is also having an impact on the regular functioning of educational institutions at all levels worldwide, especially with the huge usage of digitalization based learning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of teacher preparation and digital competency in Kota Bharu’s secondary schools. Communication and cooperation, the creation of digital material, safety, and the influence of problem-solving on digital preparedness and skills made up the independent variables of this study. A descriptive research approach was used to gather pertinent data for the study using an online survey. The online poll, which was performed using universal sampling from 43 schools, included teachers from Kota Bharu. According to the findings, problem-solving and the creation of digital content were both positively correlated with digital readiness and competencies. This finding draws the conclusion that innovative teaching and learning strategies should be used in the new educational system.
