Abstract

In the contemporary education 4.0 landscape, teachers are urged to prioritize the communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity (4C) skills during teaching and learning, recognized as crucial skills for the 4.0 industrial revolution (I.R 4.0). This research aimed to develop and validate an instrument assessing mathematics teachers' perceptions of the 4C skills through problem-solving teaching method. Employing a quantitative research design, the study utilized a questionnaire for data collection, involving four experts and 120 participants. Descriptive analysis using Cronbach's alpha and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a high reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.934) and factor eigenvalue exceeding 1. The KMO values (Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin) for each construct were 0.50, and Bartlett's Test was significant (<0.5). Additionally, each item demonstrated a factor loading value above 0.50 and a variance percentage of ≥60%. The instrument comprised 4 sub-constructs and 16 fitting items. In summary, the study affirms the utility of this instrument in investigating mathematics teachers' perceptions of 4C skills through problem-solving teaching methods.

Abstract

In the current realm of education 4.0, teachers play a pivotal role as facilitators of holistic skill development. The shift in focus towards accentuating creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration (4C) skills signifies an acknowledgment of the changing demands brought about by the industrial revolution 4.0. This transformation in educational approaches contributes significantly to the collective adaptability and innovative potential of succeeding generations. Against this backdrop, this study was conducted to investigate how mathematics teachers in Malaysia implement the 4C skills, specifically through problem-solving. The study applied a survey method involving 250 mathematics teachers in Malaysia. Data were collected using a questionnaire, meanwhile, descriptive statistics were used to analyze and present the research data. Overall, the study’s outcomes revealed that mathematics teachers exhibit adeptness in effectively integrating the 4C skills within the context of problem-solving. However, the study also brought to light challenges encountered by mathematics teachers, particularly in the realm of creative teaching, especially when incorporating technology. These identified challenges resonate with broader concerns in the educational landscape, underscoring the imperative for robust support systems, continual professional development initiatives, and a transformative shift in the educational paradigm towards embracing innovative teaching methodologies.
