Abstract

Pedagogical competence is the key to education that determines the level of success of the learning process and student learning outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the pedagogical competence of lecturers, especially regarding the skills that lecturers must have in 21^st-century learning and what efforts lecturers with non-educational backgrounds in higher education have made in developing their pedagogical competence. The descriptive qualitative research method involves 16 lecturers who participated in initial observations with questionnaires and 12 lecturers who participated in in-depth interviews and focused discussions. The sample consisted of non-educational lecturers from universities in the Banyumas Regency. The study results showed that in 21^st-century learning, lecturers must have more innovative skills to create student competence in the 21^st century, such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills, creativity, communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively. In addition, the efforts of lecturers with non-educational backgrounds to develop their pedagogical competence are carried out by learning independently, developing pedagogical competence with colleagues, and developing pedagogical competence facilitated by the educational institutions where they work.
