Abstract

The shift from traditional education to transformational learning in the 21st century is imperative due to the evolving educational landscape. Transformational learning emphasizes student-centered approaches and fosters 21st-century skills such as critical thinking and creativity. This transition is crucial in preparing students for the complexities of the modern workforce, where adaptability and technological proficiency are paramount. Implementing transformational learning involves changes in teaching methodologies, curricula, and assessment practices, prioritizing active student participation and lifelong learning skills. Transformative learning at Al-Hikmah Medan Middle School is crucial for implementing the Independent Curriculum, fostering soft skills, empowering minds, and nurturing critical thinking in MOTS. This approach promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, while emphasizing wise technology use for developing essential workplace skills. The integration of the Independent Curriculum and transformative learning enables lifelong learning, fostering adaptability to changing contexts. Through MOTS, students develop holistic growth, enhancing academic proficiency and readiness for personal and professional challenges.
