This research will examine the relationship between technical knowledge (professional) and pedagogical knowledge, in students of the Electrical Engineering Education program of Semarang State University (UNNES). The concept of Society 5.0 emphasises human-centred innovation that integrates technological and social progress. The study found that many students are less prepared to teach due to an inadequate understanding of educational theories and technical skills, which are especially important in this era. The research was conducted using a quantitative, ex-post facto method with a correlational descriptive approach. Data were collected from 79 students through questionnaires and final grades. This study concludes that competency improvement is very important to prepare educators in the Society 5.0 era. Recommendations include updating the curriculum and improving practical teaching experiences to better equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge.
