Abstract: Kapasiti Pedagogi Pembelajaran Bermakna or KPPB is a pedagogical innovation initiated by the Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) to enhance the professional competencies of lecturers. This effort aims to cultivate dynamic students who are capable in competing and addressing the challenges of the real-world education. Therefore, to ensure an effective implementation of KPPB at the IPGK level, the aspects of student knowledge and understanding need to be given due attention. This study aims to examine the relationship between the level of knowledge and understanding of the implementation of KPPB among trainee teachers at the Institute of Teacher Education, Malay Women Campus, Malacca. To achieve the purpose of this study, a set of Likert scale questionnaires were distributed to 261 trainee teachers who were selected using simple random sampling techniques from various fields of specialization. This study used a survey design and a quantitative data analysis approach, which was analysed through descriptive and inferential methods. The findings revealed that the level of knowledge regarding the implementation of KPPB among trainee teachers at the Institute of Teacher Education, Malay Women Campus is at a high level with a mean value of 4.32 and a standard deviation of 0.40 (Mean = 4.32; SD = 0.40).
