        abstract = {- This study explores the digital competency of prospective teachers in catering to the diversified learning styles of Generation Alpha students. Generation Alpha, often referred to as 'techno-babies', are digital natives who have grown up with constant exposure to technology. Their unique learning needs demand teachers with advanced digital competency. This research examines the competency levels of prospective teachers across five dimensions: information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, safety, and problem-solving. Findings reveal that most prospective teachers possess moderate digital competency, with significant implications for teacher education institutions. The study underscores the urgent need to integrate digital competency training into teacher education programs to ensure future-ready educators.},
