Technological advances have a major influence on the world of education. One of them is the application of e-learning, which previously the learning process in Indonesia was carried out face-to-face. But in reality, e-learning and face-to-face learning have some weaknesses. As a response, the concept of independent learning has gained traction as an alternative pedagogical approach, aiming to address the shortcomings of these established models. The purpose of this study was to determine the readiness of teachers in implementing the independent learning model. Employing a quantitative approach, the study utilizes the E-Learning Readiness (ELR) model, leveraging a comprehensive questionnaire. By applying advanced data analysis techniques through the SmartPLS software, the study was conducted within high schools situated in Bitung city. The findings reveal a favorable inclination among teachers towards embracing independent learning methodologies. Nonetheless, the analysis identifies a specific area that necessitates attention and enhancement namely, the aspect of self-development. In essence, this study sheds light on the evolving educational landscape, underlining the significance of independent learning as a prospective solution. The research underscores the readiness of educators to embrace this model, albeit with a call for targeted improvements, notably in the realm of self-development.
