ABSTRACT

Trainee teachers in Malaysia are encountering new development in the open market that requires skills of the 21^st century. This study thus investigated the skills of information, media and technology (IMT) among trainee teachers at a Malaysian university by exploring e-portfolio at Mahara@USM to improve IMT skills in the 21^st century. This study involved a quantitative method, which utilised questionnaires as a research instrument for data gathering activities. Also, a total of 265 trainee teachers were involved in this research for a seven-week intervention study. Using both descriptive and inferential statistics, this research data was analysed. In addition, the inferential statistics introduced in this study data analysis are t-test and ANOVA. These research findings have shown that trainee teachers possess the necessary IMT skills to prepare an e-portfolio. However, the findings of this research have shown that there is a significant difference in media literacy skills among trainee teachers from various majors. Trainee teachers and majors had no sign of information literacy skills in this enquiry. Additionally, there were no signs of information and communication technology skills among the trainee teachers and majors. This study contributes to the existing literature on 21^st century IMT skills for trainee teachers. This research fills the gap that exists due to global changes in IMT capabilities in the need for a pedagogical paradigm shift.
