Abstract

Educators, as individuals, hold a crucial position in fostering the development of outstanding and high-caliber students. A teacher's comprehensive grasp and perception, coupled with their determination towards diversifying abilities and enhancing knowledge, are indispensable attributes. The teacher's proficiency in teaching high-level history subjects facilitates systematic instructional activities, commencing from the initial stages and progressing towards the conceptual development through the utilization of knowledge and skills, ultimately culminating with reinforcement and reinforcement activities. Of the 98 history teachers surveyed, the sample included 59 male teachers and 39 female teachers, and an independent T-test was conducted using SPSS Version 26 to examine the gender-based competency differences between the teachers. The teacher's teaching and learning proficiency across genders exhibited a significant difference, with a value of p < 0.05, whereas the teacher's professionalism and teaching effectiveness showed non-significant findings (p > 0.05). This study involved teachers who specialize in the subject of History. The effort to implement a wide range of teaching techniques by history teachers constitutes a shift in the subject of history that aligns with the National Education transformation process, as outlined by the Primary School Standard Curriculum (KSSR) and the Secondary School Standard Curriculum (KSSM). These standards necessitate the time and commitment of teachers to master the subject content and teaching strategies.
