Introduction: The current era of technology requires every teacher to be able to develop their digital competence through various uses of platforms, for example the birth of PMM in Indonesia where PMM is present with the aim of helping teachers prepare and develop digital competence which will later contribute to the development of teaching, especially Physical Education.
Objective: This study investigates the contribution of the Merdeka Mengajar (PMM) platform in developing digital readiness among physical education teachers.
Methodology: Descriptive survey where this study involved 155 teachers in West Java Province, The data collection technique used was in the form of a questionnaire containing 18 questions regarding the contribution of the use of PMM to the development of digital readiness of Physical Education teachers while the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented as percentages and frequencies.
Research Results: The research findings revealed that around 95% of teachers said they understood the PMM application effectively and this data shows that teachers' digital readiness and competence play a significant role in the high adoption of the PMM platform. This is evidenced by the high perception rating, ability to access and integrate technology, and positive attitudes and the significant relationship between the use of PMM in the development of digital competence of Physical Education teachers.
Discussion: Based on the findings of the research that has been conducted, the majority of teachers are optimistic about the use of digital technology, in this case the PMM application, as one of the media that can help them develop their digital competencies, especially in developing the learning that is carried out.
