This study aimed to find out the implementation of teacher education training programs held by FTTE in preparing teacher training and education in the 21 ST century concerning student recruitment, curriculums, teacher students' perception, and challenges the faculty had. The four questions referred to critical thinking skill, collaboration skill, communication skill, and using technology as a tool for learning. The data were obtained through documentation and survey questionnaire. The results of the study showed that there were three systems of recruiting the students, namely National Entrance Selection for State University, National Joint Entrance Selection for Public University, and Public University Entrance Examination. The critical thinking was perceived as vital and essential as it is needed in the workplace. The student respondents seemed not to do it very frequently. In analysing complex problems, investigating questions, evaluating different points of view or sources of information, and drawing appropriate conclusions almost 40% of the samples applied their critical thinking skills. Many applied their collaboration skill such as working in pairs or small groups to complete a task together, setting goals and creating a plan for their team, creating joint products using contributions from each student, presenting their group work to the class, teacher or others. In communication skills, there were three highest answers recorded, namely created charts, tables or graphs, answering questions in front of an audience, and using media other than a written paper such as posters, video, blogs. On the average, 49.85% did the skills. Using technology as a tool for learning was applied by 43%. Statistically descriptive, most respondents used social networking services, web search engines, and presentation applications as the three highest skills; they perceived as their excellent skills since they dealt with Facebook, Google search, and MS Power Point application.
