Abstract
The 5K-based technology adaptation model not only improves teachers^ technical skills, but also forms a mindset, attitude, and professional values that support the strengthening of pedagogical competence comprehensively and sustainably, in accordance with the demands of 21st-century education. This model is in line with the Merdeka Curriculum which emphasizes differentiated, student-centered learning, and the use of digital technology to strengthen the profile of Pancasila students. This study uses a qualitative approach by interviewing three participants who participated in training based on the model. The results show that this model contributes to the formation of a positive and character-based digital culture in the school environment, making teachers not only technology users, but also agents of change in building a sustainable and civilized education ecosystem. This model also has strategic value as a reference for policy makers and educational institutions in designing digital technology-based teacher training programs. The implications of the study show an increase in teachers^ pedagogical competence holistically, including the ability to design and utilize digital media effectively, initiatives in ICT development, collaboration with colleagues, reflective and innovative abilities, and a critical attitude towards the ethics and relevance of using technology in learning.
