The objective of this study is to ascertain the standards for pedagogical proficiency among civic education teacher in the 21st century, as well as to identify approaches for enhancing their competency. The research method chosen is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which uses data from international and national journal articles. The findings indicate that (1) the essential competencies that Civic Education Teachers in the 21st century must possess include life and career skills, encompassing self-regulation, social interaction, and a culture of leadership, productivity, and responsibility; (2) The acquisition of learning and innovation skills, encompassing critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and collaborative engagement in creative endeavors and information sharing; (3) The acquisition of skills in information media and technology, encompassing both information technology and media abilities, is of paramount importance. Teachers must have a comprehensive understanding of information literacy, media literacy, and ICT literacy. Digital pedagogy is a strategy to improve the competence of 21st-century PPKn teachers. Digital pedagogy presents not only digital learning but also digital ethics in utilizing digital resources or learning media.---------------------------------------Abstrak Penelitian menelaah standar kemahiran pedagogi di kalangan guru PPKn pada abad ke-21, serta mengidentifikasi pendekatan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi mereka. Metode penelitian yang dipilih adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan sumber data terdiri dari gabungan artikel jurnal internasional dan nasional. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa: (1) kompetensi esensial yang harus dimiliki guru di abad 21 meliputi keterampilan hidup dan karir, meliputi pengaturan diri, interaksi sosial, dan budaya kepemimpinan, produktivitas, dan tanggung jawab, (2) perolehan keterampilan belajar dan inovasi, yang mencakup pemikiran kritis, kemampuan memecahkan masalah, komunikasi efektif, dan keterlibatan kolaboratif dalam upaya kreatif dan berbagi informasi, (3) perolehan keterampilan dalam media dan teknologi informasi, yang mencakup kemampuan teknologi informasi dan media, adalah hal yang sangat penting. Urgen bagi guru untuk memiliki pemahaman komprehensif tentang literasi informasi, literasi media, dan literasi TIK. Pedagogi digital hadir sebagai strategi upaya peningkatan kompetensi guru PPKn abad 21. Pedagogi digital tidak hanya menghadirkan pembelajaran digital, tetapi juga etika digital dalam menamfaatkan sumber daya atau sebagai media pembelajaran digital.

The evaluation and analysis of the practicality of Android-based courseware in enhancing vocational students’ understanding of electrical circuits (EC) is the primary focus of this research. A quantitative survey-based research approach was employed, utilizing the Practicality Assessment Instrument to evaluate the practicality level of the Android-based courseware among students. The collected data will undergo statistical analysis using descriptive analysis techniques. The practicality assessment results for each aspect will be calculated as a percentage and grouped into various categories. The findings reveal a high practicality level across different aspects, namely 90.19% for Availability and Accessibility, 89.88% for Performance and Responsiveness, 86.96% for Content Compatibility and Completeness, and 90.06% for Functionality and Resource Utilization. These outcomes demonstrate that the Android-based courseware serves as a highly practical learning medium for enhancing the understanding of electrical circuits. The integration of Android-based technology in the educational environment has proven to be effective and beneficial. These findings offer valuable insights for educators, instructional designers, and stakeholders to enhance modern learning environments. Future research can further investigate the impact of Android-based courseware on learning outcomes and explore additional practical dimensions to comprehensively evaluate its effectiveness.

Virtual laboratory (VL) has become increasingly popular in Post-COVID-19 to support practical learning in the remote learning system. The use of VL was responded to by students with different attitudes. This study discusses the factors that influence the perception of Industrial Electrical Engineering (IEE) students in responding to the use of the VL in the learning process of the Electrical Machines Practicum Course. Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), students’ attitudes toward using VL (are influenced by perceived ease of use (PEU) and perceived usefulness (PU). At the same time, PU also acts as an intervening variable. The research involved IEE students of the Electrical Engineering Department, at Universitas Negeri Padang. Data collection was carried out by survey using a questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using variant-based structural equation modelling (SEM), with partial least square (PLS) or PLS-SEM. The results showed a significant positive effect between PEU and PU from the VL used against A. PU’s role as an intervener was also positive in mediating the effect of PEU on A so it became more prominent. Thus, it can be concluded that PEU and PU are the factors that must be considered in choosing VL to be applied to a practical learning process in the remote learning system.
