A. 21st Century Teacher Competence and Skills

The 21st century is marked by the presence of the media era (digital age) is very influential in the management of learning and changing characteristics of students. The 21st century learning becomes imperative to integrate information and communication technology, and management of student- centered learning. In developing 21st century learning, teachers are required to change teacher-centered conventional learning patterns into student-centered learning because abundant learning resources are not only sourced from teachers, so the teacher's role becomes a facilitator, mediator, motivator and leader in the learning process. Conventional learning patterns can be understood as learning where many teachers give lectures (transfer of knowledge) while students are listen, notes and memorize. The pedagogical ability with conventional patterns is seen to be inaccurate with the current era.

Characteristics of 21st century students are very different from previous era. In the 21st

and Innovation). These skills have been properly reflected in the learning will be implemented. Based on the challenges of the 21st century, teachers must transform themselves into the digital pedagogy era by continuing to develop creativity and innovative.

While the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) in the book Instructional Technology and Media for Learning states that effective teachers who are able to design, implement and create a learning environment and improve students' abilities. Teachers has standard abilities such as (1) facilitating and inspiring students to learn creative, (2) designing and developing digital media for learning and evaluating experiences, (3) utilizing digital media in work and learning, (4) has the spirit of nationalism and a sense of high responsibility in the digital age, and (5) able to foster professionalism and leadership.

David Ausubel (1963) an educational psychologist stated that the learning material must be "meaningful". Meaningful learning is a process of linking new information to relevant concepts contained in a cognitive structure.

189 Cognitive structures are facts, concepts, and generalizations that students have learned and remembered. Learning meaningful according to Ausubel (1963) is a process of linking new information or material with concepts that already exist in cognitive structures. There are three factors that influence meaningfulness in a learning, namely the existing cognitive structure, stability and clarity of knowledge in a particular field of study and at a certain time. In this regard, Dahar (1996) suggests the occurrence of meaningful learning two prerequisites, namely: (1) the material to be learned must be meaningful, potentially, and (2) the child will learn to be aimed at learning meaningful. Besides that, the potential meaningfulness of subject matter depends on two factors, they are (1) the material must have logical meaning, and (2) relevant ideas must be contained in the cognitive structure of the students.

Suparno (1997) said, that meaningful learning is a learning process where new information is linked to the structure of understanding that a person who is in the learning process already has. Meaningful learning occurs when students are trying to connect a new phenomenon into their knowledge structure. That is, the learning material must match the abilities of students and must be relevant to the cognitive structure of the students. Therefore, the lessons must be linked to concepts that already owned the students, so that new concepts are completely absorbed by it. Thus, emotional intellectual factors of students are involved in learning activities.

B. Implementation of 21st Century Teacher Skills in Meaningful Learning

21st century teacher skills must also understand local and global issues and be responsive to evolving digital culture and try to show action by upholding ethics in professional practice. This competence is important for teachers in the digital era, because the knowledge and information are very quick,

which are sometimes not necessarily in accordance with the norms and are not necessarily validated, therefore information and knowledge must be accountable when they are used as material in learning.
