Abstract

The issue on learning agility has obtained special attention especially during major changes of Covid-19 pandemic. The current study investigated the learning agility based on age and work experience, specifically how the group of age and work experience differ in learning agility and each of the dimensions namely result agility, people agility, change agility and mental agility. The sample of this study was 118 preschool teachers in Buleleng District, Bali Indonesia. The data were collected using Learning Agility Self-Assessment and proved to be valid and reliable to use. Data were analysed quantitatively using Non-Parametric Test with IBM SPSS 25.0. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference between groups based on age in learning agility and all of the dimensions, except for change agility. There younger people get, the greater their learning agility and vice versa. Moreover, there is a significant difference between groups based on work experience in mental agility, but not in other dimensions. The less experienced people get, the greater their mental agility. This result contributed to the understanding about the factors that affect rapid changes, particularly during ambiguous and uncertain situation.
