Abstract

This comparative study aimed at exploring teacher education programs held by two different state universities in Palembang, Indonesia and Khartoum, Sudan in preparing pre-service teachers for the 21st century education. Kereluik’s et al. (2014) framework of 21st century education was used as the framework for the study. The data of the study were obtained through documentation, survey, and interview. Documentation was related to written documents of the programs. More than one hundred and sixty respondents filled in the questionnaire. Eight respondents participated in the interviews. Quantitative data obtained from the survey were analyzed using SPSS, while qualitative data from documentation and interview were analyzed based on thematic analysis. Documentation proved that basically both programs had many things in common in the implementation of teacher education program in the 21st century education, regardless of some differences. Both of them implemented 21st century learning framework to a certain extent although encountering some limitations. Findings from the questionnaire revealed that lecturers of both programs had practiced the 4-Cs (Critical thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Creativity and Innovation skills) in their classes during teaching and learning process to a certain extent. Findings from the interview revealed that (1) both programs accommodated two kinds of knowledge based on Kereluik’s et al. (2014) framework of 21st education into their curriculum foundation knowledge and humanistic knowledge, whereas they varied in their response to metacognitive knowledge.
