Abstract

This study aims to compare preservice teachers’ understanding of TPACK and ESD in Indonesia and Malaysia. The research uses comparative research, which compares the understanding of TPACK and ESD of science preservice teachers between Indonesia and Malaysia. The research sample comprised 164 preservice teachers from Indonesia and Malaysia, aged 23-25 years, selected using simple random sampling. A test method was used to measure TPACK understanding, and a questionnaire method was used to measure ESD understanding. The data analysis method used descriptive analysis of TPACK and ESD understanding profiles and comparative tests with Mann-Whitney. The results showed that Indonesian and Malaysian preservice teachers’ TPACK and ESD understanding profiles were not much different. Indonesian preservice teachers have a slight advantage in overall TPACK understanding. Meanwhile, Malaysian preservice teachers scored slightly higher in ESD comprehension compared to Indonesia. There is a need for continuous development and professional support to strengthen preservice teachers’ understanding of TPACK and ESD in an increasingly digitalized education context, which will ultimately support sustainable development goals more effectively. © 2024 Science Education Study Program FMIPA UNNES Semarang.
