- Abstract
Technology plays a vital role in educational institutions today. Educators are required to integrate technology in their teaching and learning sessions and teach their students 21st-century skills simultaneously, on top of teaching the subject matters. Hence, 21st-century TPACK was introduced as a framework for educators to measure their knowledge and skills when using technology. However, it is observed that some educators have difficulties when using technology due to a lack of knowledge and experience in using technology to teach. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the importance of education qualifications and teaching experience at the 21st-century TPACK level among English language educators in Malaysia. A total of 225 respondents among English language secondary school teachers were involved in this study, which was conducted quantitatively using an adapted questionnaire as the research instrument. The findings of this study revealed that the highest education qualifications play a role in the 21st-century TPACK level, while teaching experience did not. The results of this study showed the importance of upgrading and updating teacher's knowledge to teach with technology in the 21st century.
