Abstract

This study aims to identify and gain an in-depth understanding of the role of teachers in fostering 21st-century skills among students in the History subject at the State Senior High School in Pekanbaru. This study employs a qualitative approach with a sample size of 10 informants. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that History teachers play an active role in applying 21st-century skills through the use of innovative and creative teaching models and methods, as well as the integration of technology into the learning process. These efforts involve creating a learning environment that encourages students to think critically, collaborate, communicate, and be creative. However, several challenges were encountered during implementation, such as limited school facilities, low student interest in the History subject, and limited learning time. In conclusion, History teachers at the State Senior High School in Pekanbaru have actively served as facilitators in developing students’ 21st-century skills, although they still face various obstacles in the implementation process. Therefore, support in the form of facilities and infrastructure, as well as more effective learning strategies, is needed to optimize the application of 21st-century skills in History education.
