Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap sejauh mana kompetensi profesional calon guru matematika di Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Negeri (PTKIN) di Indonesia dalam menghadapi tantangan pendidikan abad ke-21. Empat aspek kompetensi profesional yang dikaji meliputi: penguasaan kompetensi dasar pembelajaran, kreatifitas dalam mengembangkan pembelajaran, pengembangan keprofesian serta pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) dalam mendukung pembelajaran. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuisioner kompetensi profesional, tes kemampuan matematika dan kemampuan berpikir matematis, serta wawancara dengan calon guru matematika dari lima PTKIN. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 448 mahasiswa yang dipilih dengan teknik proportional random sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum calon guru matematika PTKIN memiliki kompetensi profesional yang tinggi, yang menunjukkan kesiapan mereka dalam menghadapi tantangan abad ke-21. Namun demikian, masih diperlukan peningkatan kemampuan dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs), yang mendorong kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kreatif siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika. Implikasi praktis dari penelitian ini menyarankan agar dosen dan institusi PTKIN melakukan evaluasi diagnostik awal guna mengidentifikasi kebutuhan dan hambatan spesifik dalam pengembangan profesional calon guru, khususnya dalam aspek analisis, evaluasi, dan sintesis berpikir. Abstract This study aims to reveal the extent of professional competence of prospective mathematics teachers at State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN) in Indonesia in facing the challenges of 21st century education. The four aspects of professional competence studied include: mastery of basic learning competencies, creativity in developing learning, professional development and utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in supporting learning. Data were collected through professional competence questionnaires, tests of mathematical ability and mathematical thinking ability, and interviews with prospective mathematics teachers from five PTKIN. The research sample consisted of 448 students selected using proportional random sampling technique. The results showed that in general, PTKIN mathematics teacher candidates have high professional competence, which indicates their readiness to face the challenges of the 21st century. However, it is still necessary to improve the ability to solve Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) questions that encourage students' critical and creative thinking skills in learning mathematics. The practical implications of this study suggest that PTKIN lecturers and institutions conduct an initial diagnostic evaluation to identify specific needs and obstacles in developing prospective teachers' professionalism, especially in the aspects of thinking analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
