Abstract

In the era of IR 4.0, the education system needs a transformation that can adapt to such rapid change. The role and characteristics of teachers have also changed in terms of meeting the requirements of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 aspect. This study aims to examine the trends of systematically published studies involving the role and characteristics of 4.0 teachers in the last five years, which are from 2018 to 2022. Qualitative methods are used by analyzing content and screening articles using PRISMA guidelines. Article searches are through Google Scholar database sources. A total of 24 articles were found after being screened according to the set criteria. The results of the analysis of this study found that 4.0 teachers need to meet digital literacy skills, lifelong learning skills, leadership skills, and personal attitudes. It is hoped that this study can provide guidelines to the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) in formulating skills training programs for educators towards producing a useful generation in the era of IR 4.0. In addition, this study can help researchers to see research trends related to the characteristics and role of teachers in aspects of Industrial Revolution 4.0.
