Requirements for teachers in the 4.0 era

Abstract

The reality of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution is creating huge changes globally, strongly affecting all fields, of which education is one of the fields directly and deeply affected. In this context, the pedagogical sector is forced to adapt, change, and set new standards for teacher training. Teachers, with their important role in educating people, make an important contribution to building high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution. Without a team of good teachers who understand and meet the requirements of the revolution, the country will find it difficult to have a strong enough human resource for development. Improving the quality of pedagogical education is an important task contributing to creating high-quality human resources for national education. In the context of international integration and the 4.0 industrial revolution, the requirements for teachers are increasingly high, requiring teacher training institutions to constantly innovate and improve the quality of training. Creating output standards that are consistent with reality is one of the top priorities. To meet the needs of international integration and maximize the potential of Industry 4.0, innovating teacher training programs is a key task. Referring to advanced training models from leading countries is necessary to reorganize the curriculum, the system of majors and subjects in a scientific and effective way. The training program must ensure updating, connectivity and conformity with international and regional standards. Along with content innovation, schools need to proactively strengthen international cooperation, build close relationships with leading teacher training institutions in the world and in the region. The development of training programs needs to pay attention to a reasonable balance between specialized knowledge, educational science and general teaching practice, aiming at developing professional capacity, minimizing academic theoretical knowledge.
