Abstract

: Education in the 21st century demands continuous innovation in teaching methods to meet the diverse and dynamic needs of students. This study aims to explore the motivations and challenges faced by young educators in developing innovative teaching approaches in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 20 young educators from various educational levels, including primary, secondary, and higher education. The findings indicate that the primary motivations for young educators to innovate in teaching include the desire to improve student learning outcomes, create more engaging learning environments, and integrate educational technology to support 21st-century skills. However, they also face several challenges, such as limited resources, a lack of training in educational technology, and resistance to change from colleagues and institutions. These barriers are further exacerbated by rigid regulations and limited access to digital learning tools. These findings highlight the need for sustained support from governments, educational institutions, and communities to create a more adaptive and innovative learning ecosystem. With the right support, young educators can make a significant contribution to shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future for education.
